Dear Athar /Fahad /Aiesage bro,

Kindly guide me, how much time will it take from ratti galli to Hans Raj Lake (hour wise and kilometer wise)

Also tell me if we park our bikes till the last point of jeep track from dowarian (which is 10km ahead from dowarian), will it be safe to park the bikes there ?

If we stay our first night at base camp which 10 km ahead from dowarian (last point of jeep trek), so do we have to setup camps there or we will get some reasonable accommodation over there.

What will be the roughly expense of over all tour, starting from Keran to ratti gali and then if we go to hans raj lake

Tell me further, which things will be best to take with you for food while staying in camps.

Will any porter/guide and jeep be available during eid holidays as we have planned to go on 2nd day of eid.

And whats the situation of security,i mean all the route is fine ? any chances of security issues ?

And please guide any further precautions required to go there.

Thanks

Brother You have many questions, I will recommend you a person from Dewarian Mr. Samiullah 0322-2679167 (Neelum Paradise Hiker) , He can arrange all things for you. He can manage a place in Dewarian for stay. Can arrange food, give you proper place to park your bikes, he will arrange porters on eid days, and there are no security issues in that area.

HI
I have done this trek in this September but the other way around. that is Noori nar top >> Noori lake >> Dowarain top >> Hansraj lake >> rattigali lake >> neelum valley ...

Dear Athar /Fahad /Aiesage bro,

Kindly guide me, how much time will it take from ratti galli to Hans Raj Lake (hour wise and kilometer wise)
ANS= it took us 4 hours from hansraj lake to ratti gali lake ,which is maximum time ,as i was the last person and pushing slow ones on trek...its is up and down track,not too much accent ,but final accent to rattigali lake is tough one .....So i guess it would take around 4-5 hours to reach hansraj lake from ratti galli...

Also tell me if we park our bikes till the last point of jeep track from dowarian (which is 10km ahead from dowarian), will it be safe to park the bikes there ?
ANS= Yes they would be save, their is small village ,and road is being constructed ,and at the end of jeep track ,road construction tehkadaar have small office consist of 2 tent,where usually have a local guard, you can gave him few rupees ,so that you can park your bikes..other wise people of this area are friendly..

If we stay our first night at base camp which 10 km ahead from dowarian (last point of jeep trek), so do we have to setup camps there or we will get some reasonable accommodation over there.

ANS= No hotel or accommodation .....else may be you can setup camps

What will be the roughly expense of over all tour, starting from Keran to ratti gali and then if we go to hans raj lake

ANS=Approx 8,000 rs - 12,000rs , as i have arranges a 30 people trip to this place other way around.

Tell me further, which things will be best to take with you for food while staying in camps.
ANS= For food items,common things like
EGGS must , pitta bread / bread, Tea ,coffee, Potato ,basin [channa ki daal ka powder ] for pakoras , tin food if you can afford [other wise its not needed ], dry fruits ,chips ,biscuits ,rice , maggie noodles must....

Will any porter/guide and jeep be available during eid holidays as we have planned to go on 2nd day of eid.
ANS =Not sure

And whats the situation of security,i mean all the route is fine ? any chances of security issues ?
ANS=Area is safe, but do carry weopen with yourself, Plus local guide / potter is must

And please guide any further precautions required to go there.
AND=Seasons is almost ended , in my opinion ,please cancel you trip for next year ....

Thanks

Dear brother Umer,

An extremely fruitful and healthy information given by you, it will really help me alot, actually we just want to visit this lake in this season, so that in next season we could explore the other ones.

I am sure the expense which you have mentioned is the over all expense not the individual . Well we dont have weapon hmmm kuch aur arrangement karna paray ga

you have managed a great tour of 30 people , we are just 5-6 persons

Your detailed reply is really helpful for me, i just pray that the weather should be fine and clear during eid days as i and my two friends will be on bike and my brother will be in his car with luggage and his friends
