I assume a trip to Saiful-Muluk in end of October is not a very good idea?

There may be some snow but jeeps can go to the lake.

Trekkers attempt the lake even in December but that depends on snow in the valley and conditions of road till Naran.

guyz i dont think there is any snow there and i can even confirm that from local jeep driver in naran....

end oct may kuch nai hota wahan may nov may bhe gia hun ansoo lake kay trek par........

the snow is just a short burst and it vanishes quickly

Check HB's thread of last year. Lots of snow on lake in end October.

Totally depends on weather so no surety.

asifcae (asifcae) 2012-09-30 07:32:12 +0500 #665

yes its weather dependend but from my experience mayb last year was an abromality.......

My elder brother is in Abottabad, they(couple) will leave tomorrow morning for Naran. Asif/Mubeen can you please confirm me the places to visit (help us plan for these areas)..such as
Shogran: Siri Paya
Naran: Saif ul Mulook, Jhalkhad - Lulusar Lake - Lalazar

-Is Babusar opened and feasible(a/c to law n order situation)?
- Can they visit Lalazar?

Prompt response would be highly appreciated..

Thanks in advance. (H)

Imran.

Right now all areas should be accessible but ask your brother to check from locals of Naran about security situation around Gittidas and Babusar pass and then plan accordingly. Babusar pass should be open.

A routine 4 days tour can be done easily unless they want to stay more.

asifcae (asifcae) 2012-09-30 08:54:31 +0500 #669

sir i recon u shud not visit babusar with fam
u can go till Lulusar easily as many ppl have been there even after the incident.......

Thanks alot....Asif Bhai and Mubeen...

What would be the situation of naran and saif ul maluk in first week of nov

asifcae (asifcae) 2012-10-05 15:44:37 +0500 #673

hopefully no snow till then...

aesiege (aesiege) 2012-10-05 16:06:37 +0500 #674

Totally depends on weather. You could find no snow at all or snow at tops or even snowfall in valley

nomi700 (Nauman Sheikh) 2012-10-06 01:58:32 +0500 #675

Hmm. And what about shogran

ImranKhan01 (Imran Khan) 2012-10-07 04:47:18 +0500 #676

my brother was in Shogran yesterday, Light Snowfall has also started in Shogran, but NO road blocks and NO continious snowfall in the region. BUT nights are really COLD out there.... Hotels and transportation is quite cheap these days...

If you are willing to enjoy partial snow then visit.
