BUNJI CANTT, few glimps from the history...

1. it was the perpament stop-over of MahaRaja Ranjeet Singh Dogra after SELLING-out the KASHMIR JANNAT NAZIR to British Sarkar @75000 NANAK SHAHI.

2. one of the most diverse spot in Northern Areas, it has the PEAK covered by CHANAARS the u only can find there other thn KASHMIR, even the first CHANAR TREE, planted by Dogra Raja, is just at the entrance of the MUSEUM and the MILITARY GUEST HOUSE.

3. There are two main PEAKS of this Cant, on one of them u can find a SUN HOUSE, which was designed and built by my cusin MAJOR S. Bakhtiyar Hussain Banuri (10 SINDH) in 1999. The special thing about tht SUN HOUSE, at its NORTH SIDE u can see the DESERT tht stretched upto 25 KMs towards GILGIT, on its NORTH WEST u can clearly spot NANGA PARBAT and can enjoy the sight-seeing of its changing colors at DAWN, NOON, AFTERNOON and DUSK.

4. I spent June and July there, the temprature in the base of tht mountain at which BUNJI CANTT is situated, tht Desert like SANDY PATCH of 25 KMs starts, was arround 48 to 50 degrees, while right on the peak, where the museum and sun house is built, the tramprature was below 15 Degrees.

5. from JIGLOT u can only get to the BUNJI CANTT by the HANGING BRIDGE, another thirll to cross it by 4X4.

6. if you want to change your route to leave KKH and start PURE 4X4 Off-roading, you can go towards DEOSAI PLANS, the highest 64x30KMS plans, filled with the natural views, streams, flowers, BIG RED-BEARS and also a RARE kind of fish tht looks like TROUTE.

7. by crossing over Diosai Plan, you can directly run-down in SKARDU, all the way is real OFF-ROAD.

next time plan for it, Im sure u'll enjoy it..
