June 9-10 2012: 48 Hrs Recce Mission Azad Kashmir & Mushkpuri Trek

[asifcae]

Thx a lot

Nobody was willing to go so i had almost dropped the plan and was thinking to visit historical places in Lahore. So, Friday was wasted.

Then on Friday evening, me and my bro were discussing about Soun Valley but weather was hot again after rain. Then came the idea of a shorter version of same trek that i was planning and we decided to move on for Sheesha Mali Top return visit from Daokhan, Reshian.

Within 2 hours, we got ready and departed and were welcomed by petrol strike :S

I called motorway guys and they said that it is available throughout on motorway and then i checked with a friend of my bro Muazzam in MZF and petrol was available there as well so we left Lahore with a cautious plan for fuel.

The drive till Reshian only is worthy enough of a trip though i really wanted to do the trek. Inshallah, planning full time grand trip immediately after Eid now for Leepa Valley with all clearances in advance.

bad luck.....

Thx a lot Nomee bro

A very critical decision that we made and i am so happy at the choice

Options to stay were:

- Saran Guest House at Pir Chinasi
- PC Muzaffarabad
- Sangum Hotel

Budget was not the issue but main issue was to capture the night views of MZF.

Pir Chinasi and PC are on sides of the city and give one side of the view.

Sangum Hotel is in the middle of the city and from roof, u can see in 4 directions and each giving an amazing view

I realized this when i started taking pics at evening while sitting on terrace of Sangum Hotel for supper (no room was booked at that time).

You will see atleast 5 different angles from Sangum Hotel roof top worthy of taking landscapes at night

I once had Pakoras and Samosas from the shop underneath and on the other trip had supper in restaurant at Sangam but had no idea that the roof and terrace of this hotel would have that much astonishing views.. Great selection indeed...!!

Yup no Gilgit Chitral and even Neelum Valley is now on 2nd priority.

Full time planning for 5 days trip to Leepa Valley and surroundings. I will include the trek of Sheesha Mali and Kafir Khan in same trip now Inshallah.

Zabardast... So finally u have come up with the firm plan... Inshaa Allah everything will be done as planned... Trekking kesi hogi iss pooray trip ki... Rate tau karo from 1 as easiest to 5 as toughest...??

[NomeeRashid]

nai yaar seriously Gilgit Chitral Lahore se bhi dur hi lagta hai

yes for u karachiites Kashmir and NA is same thing. yes its very difficult to travel from karachi i know...

Socho... Lahore se durr lagta hai tau Karachi walon ka kia haal hota hoga... An additional 1200+ Kms in 20+ hours of drive... aur ab tau air travel kartay huay bhi darr hi lagta hai... Itnay saray paisay bhi do aur rastay bhar dartay dartay bhi safar karo k pata nhi khairyat se pohanch bhi payein ge k nahi..!!!
