May be, but I m not aware, neither seen it. Some member of the forum who has stayed in that army guest house or has links in the army may throw light on it.

YES, but go off season, stay in low budget hotels, and come back when you notice that pocket is getting light.

He belonged to Astore. Started from Minimerg on foot early in the morning and he reached Taobut in the evening to report for duty.

After stay of two days and three nights in Taobut, we decided to come back to Kel. Public transport jeep was to leave at 7:30 in morning. We met the driver in Al-Waheed hotel at dinner and booked two seats for us.

It had rained in the night, so the color of river had changed. We started at 8 am towards Kel in an already overloaded jeep which stopped at every village to get even more passengers.

Halmat, Sardari and Janwai are some of the worth seeing areas before kel . Janwai is about mid way between Kel and Taobut.

The public transport.

During this tour, we did not go to Shounter. I had been to Chitta Katha lake but that was in August 2011.
