On return from the lake there was still lot of energy and desire left to make a ride on the Naran-Jalkhad road. I was told that its not possible to reach Jalkhad on car as several huge glaciers make it impossible to reach there when your ride is not a Jeep. But there never is a harm on going out on your own, going as far as you easily can, and take some amazing pics:
The exciting thing about the Naran-Jalkhad track driving is that you get to see lot beautiful landscapes, and the same makes it a time taking journey, you crave to take as many pics as you can:
You come across several glaciers on this road, big and small. I crossed about eight of them, two were real skill testing:
I really love this pic:
An even bigger glacier on the roadside"
And what about a poser pic?
It was quite an effort for Coure to cross two difficult glaciers and get there for a shot:
very nice trip
Since the road is narrow around here, it can be a problem if a vehicle comes from the opposite side:
Another big one"
Notice the track here:
Riding a Harley on a road like this with this kind of landscape is one of my dreams:
A pic taken on way back to Naran:
Seems like I forgot to post the pics of the track where the horse take you to the lake, so here hey are:
Those of you planning to go there in this season must try the horse riding, its good adventure. A horse will cost you Rs400 for the round trip.
Pics taken in Naran, by the riverside:
The next day was scheduled for the Shugran visit. The road toward Shugran has many twists on steep heights on it, so a vehicle with good engine condition only can make it to the top. So if the engine of your car is not enough powerful, don't dare take this road:
Some pics of Shugran:
SUBHANALLAH..MASHALLAHPakistan is soo beautiful..Pakistan Zindabad!
Because of the Hazara province issue blockage of road in the Pakhtunkwa area is no surprise, I too got trapped in one such blockage on my way back:
Very nice pics! Thanks for sharing! You are right! riding on a harley on the road towards naran would surely be one heck of a ride! One of the things on my wish list too
