Kaghan Valley: Latest Updates for 2012 season

[faheem_shahzad]

Or even the hotels can charge you around 3000. They will start at 3500 but u have to bargain hard... Best of luck..

Should have asked this earlier..!

Please refer me some good/economic hotel for stay with family.. I have called PTDC Naran and asked them to book Jun 8 and 9 for me but they are charging 4500 per day (almost double of my budget). I want to pay around 5K to 5.5k (max) for 2 days stay @ Naran... So ?? Any suggestion / name and phone number of the hotel etc.

@faheem (brother IMHO ur budget is not that less, u should find decent accomodation in this.. just chill and try.. ull succeed IA)

bro as per ptdc site tourism.gov.pk standard room is @ ~4000 but its said they r not well maintained..

check hotel lalazar (ive visited there but not stayed..should be around 2k in season, try bargaining everywhere)

try hotel demanchi also
it may b expensive but someone said its good
call them and try bargaining

Call good hotels with more fares and bargain with them hard..
Once again..UR budget is quite OKKKK i think..

[farooq05]

what is road condition for shogran now ?? n road to saiful maluk?

as of yesterday, road to Saif ul Malook is still closed and Jeeps are dropping just before a glacier/land slide from where you need around 30 minuts walk to reach to Lake. But clearance work is going on continously and trek is expected to be cleared within one week time.

[farooq05]

When you say that vehicles are now moving till Jalkhad, does it mean that it is Jeepable or cars are also moving till Jalkhad?

My friend was in Jalkhad day before yesterday and he has informed that car can also move till Jalkhad though FWO has not cleared some glaciers fully they have made the trek useable and all kinds of transport can move now.

@moon raider
Sudhan Gali is located between Bagh and muzzaffarabad
My trip rout was like
ISB-Rawlakot-Banjosa-tolipir-Rawlakot-Bagh-Sudhan Gali-xxx (Chikkar - Hattian Bala ) could not recal the name -muzzaffarabad

During this trip a night stay on every place to cover driving tension

I filled in the blanks

[sajidahmed]

today i read in Dawn that govt has banned boating in lake saiful malook, camping very near to lake and parking jeeps near the lake, in order to preserve nature. A good decision, lets see how they implement it

how can boating destroys the nature ???

[moonraider]

@above
cause ppl dont use it in environment friendly way..
they throw trash in the lake during their sail..

SirJee @veitnam: Thanks for the update. Very helpful indeed. I suppose beyond Jalkhad is still being cleared? But is it jeepable? or is it closed for ALL traffic? Regards

[pakistanibandah786]

@above
cause ppl dont use it in environment friendly way..
they throw trash in the lake during their sail..

Thanks sir: Another explanation is that because its a fresh lake, there is a possibility that it contains lake fish life...which means that 'bio-degradeable' stuff such as food/fruit peel/ etc is less harmful to the lake...but there are idiots who will throw plastic bags/plastic cups/spoons and other material that does not degenerate into the environment easily. Also, these boats and their keepers only care about the 'tourist money.' They dont think that they need to maintain their boats (..so that the oil does not leak into the pristine waters, for example). Also, they must give a short and crisp lecture to these 'boat-riding bumpkins' not to throw trash in the lake or its environments...But this is a pipedream...as there is no implementation, who cares what the govt says...idiots will be idiots...and sadly, the show of destroying the nature will go on...

Due to those ppl others cannot enjoy the boat ride .... thats unfair
