Very nice pictures, Farmi Trout is just like Chicken we eat daily. In my recent visit to naran, DCO naran applied section 144 on Trout hunting. One reason is because of its breeding season, secondly the way trout is hunted like blasting and electric current. In naran trout rate was 2200 per KG and they claim it of river trout. All this is fake. So we eat "Maya" fish from Balakot on our return.
@AliNaseem can you please tell me if you visited Malam Jabba, what is condition of PTDC hotel there. I think it is PTDC, the one we can see in pictures of Malam Jabba. Is the chair lift working there?

didn't go to malam jabba this time but we did go 7 years back and yes its PTDC, a good hotel.

we did skating there, back then the chairlift was working.
do you know that malam jabba is a brilliant skiing site!!? because of the beautiful fall it has just in front of PTDC.

My last visit was in July 2007, stayed in Hilton, they charged Rs2000 for 4 person room.
It was a nice hotel, the person (forgot his name) leased this hotel for 5 years. We were there when the first bomb blast happend in Saidu Sharif. We had to leave Kalam.

[HanifBhatti]

4 person per room.
