Neelum Valley Trip. 5th to 11th june 2014

[usmanshafqat]

a beautiful mountain somewhere near halmat.

[usmanshafqat]

stopped over at a water stream

[usmanshafqat]

reached kel at 1pm. rested for an hour almost. left for arrang kel at 2pm.
there are 3 tracks leading to arrang kel. one is the usual track taken by everyone. it is the shortest and the steepest of the 3. we went through this track. @fobak calls it the mochi track
2nd is the mule track., long but with decent slope. we came back through this track.
3rd is the kel kanari track. it is the one used by fahad bhai. kel kanari is approx a km or 2 before kel. a track from there leads you across the river and then to arrang kel. it is the easiest of the three.

[usmanshafqat]

the track was very steep. and the team took rests after every few minutes, sometimes even seconds.
just before reaching arrang kel.

[usmanshafqat]

these are the two routes that we used. kel kanari thora side pay kr k hai and i am not sure k kahan say start hota hai.
mene bs roughly mark kiye hain treks, kuch aisa he tha i think
in the centre on top of the image is the ajk tourism rest house, kel.
the path on the right is the mule track. and the other one is the shortest but steepest track.
