Return trip was again very good with short breaks for rest and photos.

I loved the scenery, rocky mountains with snow clad peaks and plantation along the riverbed. This seemingly barren land is full of color if u have eye for it.

We came across this sandy riverbed which was conveniently placed along the road, so couldnt resist and the result was this.

This is how we found the place

In the end I hated ruining the peace of place like that but hey its just the tire tracks and one day of strong wind, the place will be as it was. I would like to request you all that please always take care to leave nothing except tire tracks and footprints in places you visit.

It was a nice place and we had lot of fun.

The important thing Doc is that you were there to experience the amazing natural rugged beauty first hand and frankly for us you have left an impression more than the tire marks you made there...the tire tracks will surely vanish but what you have captured and what we have seen and read in your thread will be in our minds till we are able to experience it first hand. Thank you!
I just love the combination of blue skies, white fluffy clouds, hues of grey and brown...in the last picture of post no 104 - Subhan Allah!

what a journey can't believe this can be done on bikes.. because kkh is very bumpy road .. i've traveled on it by car for several times... you guys are amazing and have good stamina & travailing enthusiasm.

@lovebikes

What you used for biker safety during such biking trips??

@ranasherdil

As far as i can tell by looking at their jackets, they are wearing protection jackets...

Specially Doc. Yaqoob is wearing the same jacket as me and Imran Bhatti were wearing on our trip to Southern Punjab... Where as Tahir is waring a protection jacket made out of leather... a bit more warm and tough...

Bilal is right. We were wearing riding jackets with protective padding. We ordered these at the same time at PBC.

Did I tell you about the beautiful little villages we passed, I think I did. Here is one of those. Got to have lot more time when I visit northern areas next, this just isnt justice enough. Seriously considering HB's (libra) idea of two month trip.

Forgot the name but all were interesting names
