This is the jeep we hired from Kel To Tao Butt. The jeep driver dropped us in Tao butt at the point where I am holding Our Flag (Post # 50). We walked on the bridge in the background and on the other side there is a village. At the end of the village and kacha road we reached the river and a fishing point (Post # 37 & 39). I remember some local telling us that this river is coming from India. If you are facing the river then this point comes at you back. I hope you got it

@buttumair I would recommend you to go to Neelum Valley in summer (June-July) Because its the best season there and the place is so full of greenery. In winter it will be under heavy snow and the roads are closed. We got up to Kel on our own car and after that we hired jeep for tao butt. There is also public transport available but i do not recommend to use that. Hotels and nice rest houses are available from place to place. Specially AJK Govt. rest houses are quit nice. You can find them easily. I hope that helped. Thank You
