<><> Twist <><>
we turn on our navigation and follow the route, also clear sign boards are visible on road sides. but we are busy in chating and we turned of the navigation after 20 mins
and we missed the sharp right turn from khushab road towards Soon Valley and we traveled all along Katha mountains and reached on the plain area than we realized that we are on wrong track. Navigation was turned on and yes we missed the Turn. we need to come back from the same mountain area to approach Soon Valley.
