Mobeen u cud use a straight road, from kohala picnic point area, and can meet the kohala road, using Mujahid Bridge, as we did.........however this is an alternate route for heavy traffic......as heavy traffic cant cross that wooden bridge.....

I didn't know about the third option.

Only Lower Topa to Kohala road or Bhurban to Kohala road.

So far view to left was totally blocked due to dense trees.

Now some wonderful shots with a bit open view just before final descend to Kohala bridge

i am actually talking abt a very small portion, just to cross that slided road just aftger the bridge, the road which goes straight to kohala picnic point, and then go stright from there, and take first bridge to cross on to main road to Muzaffarabad, as we did, and snaps are also available on my thread, as i heard this patch is not very good for small cars, as its very temp track for heavy traffic........but now even this looks like a very smooth patch.......

Reached Kohala bridge at 7:30 a.m.

I didn't know about it but it wasn't difficult to cross this part.

I had seen Raheel's thread before departure and i had the impression that the road we were travelling on earlier was blocked so we crossed the bridge and then were sent back

[aesiege]

Jehlum river which is famous as Neelum river at this point and hundreds of people come from Murree to see Neelum here

Raheel's mango party location

We were supposed to go on the road visible in this pic.

While returning we stopped at this Tourism Booth and collected some valuable information about AJK
