Mushkpuri Track from Donga Gali

[shahidimrank]

Dear members, I'm planning a day trip to Mushkpuri top from Islamabad.
I'll be travelling on my own car. I need your advise

1. Best time to start track from Donga Gali on Saturday Aug 22.
2. What are the car parking options available there. I have heard there is also a sweet tooth outlet from where one can grab some snacks on the way back. Would they let us park our cars till we hike? If there is no official car parking how safe is it to park on the road. Your response will be highly appreciated.

Better to reach there till 11am to start hiking. Park your car in designated parking spot at dunga gali. They charge 200 Rs but car will be safe.
From there local vans go up till the point from where you can go by foot. Hire them instead of going on your own car as there is no safe parking spot up there.
