Updated plan After reading different threads

Day1. Rwp to Fizaghat. Swat Meuseum, White Palace.stay at Fizaghat in Night
Day2. Malam Jabba Near to Fizaghat, Then to Bahrain. Stay at Bahrain. Is there any hotel recommended for families there?
Day3. Leave the car in Bahrain. Hire car from Bahrain n Reach Kalam. Visit Kalam Forest
Day4. Mahodand, Ushu, Saifullah Lake, Nasrullah Lake, Aab e Shifa. Stay at Kalam
Day5. Kalam To Bahrain. Get the car n back to Rwp

[satardr]

Now you get it right.very reasonable plan. Just keep it flexible if you reach Bahrain early and you can afford 3hrs more journey go straight to Kalam I heard good about honey moon hotel .let other suggest. Going to Mingaora use bypass road and remember dinner at Mingaora bypass!!!

[satardr]

On way to swat please note

i just want to update about 2 points on the way to swat . one road block may be encountered in TAKHT BHAI 20 KM FROM MARDAN INTERCHANGE. which is not avoidable for tourist . another the road condition from landaki to mingora is very bad under construction.you can easly avoid it by taking SHAMOZAI ROAD. After chakdara abou 8 to 10 km a beautiful square on river bank will come and you have to take left turn cross the bridge and it is a nice road stright to MADIYAN. If u want to go to mingora you …

This is bypass road I am talking.the main road is reasonable now but this road is beautiful I preferred it
And takhtbhai point is clear now

[saibiq]

If I go to Kalam, Where I can leave my car??
Plus what will be the car rent from Bahrain till kalam n Mahodand?
From where in Mingora Bypass?

[saibiq]

Also tell Me miandam?? Its route, stay n places to visit?

[satardr]

Plz leave the car in behrain
And better take taxi from there usually 3 thousand per day @sajjad can confirm
Mingaora bypass is one km from fizagut park
Good for evening walk sunset and dinner
Miandam road is reasonable with bad packets but faw will do it there is ptdc motel you should spend time have tea or lunch

[satardr]

Miandm is on the way to Khwazakhela around 10 km from madiyan you will have to take left turn don’t worry you will not lost
Ik chakar laga do pir hum up sai mashwarai lai gai

[maazasim]

hi what I suggest

1st day - Mingora - visit Museum and White palace - night stay Mingora fizghat
2nd day - go to Malam jabba will have good time to spent there if you leave early, than go to Miandam and night stay
3rd day - leave Miandam and way to Bahrain by visitng Madyan trout fish farm, leave vehicle at Bahrain and direct to Kalam
4rth day visit kalam forest, ushu, Mahodand lake and other surroundings, night stay kalam

5th day - return journey

پہلے دن آپ علی الصبح راوالپنڈی سے دوپہر کے گردو پیش منگورہ پہنچ سکتے ہیں۔ اسی دن کچھ وقت مرغزار میں وائٹ پیلس کو دیکھ کر شام کا کچھ وقت فضا گٹ پارک پر گزاریں اور وہیں کسی ہوٹل میں قیام کریں،
دوسرا دن مالم جبہ جائیں اور وہاں وقت گزارنے کے بعد شام تک بحرین پہنچ کر قیام کریں۔اگر وقت ہو تو رات کالام میں گزاریں۔ ان دو دنوں میں آپ اپنی گاڑی پر ہی ہر جگہ جا سکتے ہیں۔
تیسرا دن: آپ اوشو، مہوڈنڈ کا ٹور کریں اور اس کے لئے آپ کو جیپ کروانی پڑے گی۔

Haroon bhai, First of all Thanks to u. Apki 3 cousins wali se inspire ho k I visited Hunza in 2017​️
2nd.Mahodand ki surroundings me Nasrullah or Saifullah lake ka visit b hota ha? is there any waterfall on the way of Mahodand?
Where In bahrain, I can leave my car? Is it safe to leave ur car?
From Bahrain to Kalam how much will b rent of Car/jeep n the same Jeep/Car will take u uptill Mahodand Nasrullah Saif ullah?

[haroonmcs26]

شکریہ جناب۔ کوشش کریں کہ آ پ گاڑی کالام تک لے جائیں اس سے آ پ کی ٹینشن بھی ختم ہو جائے گی اور بچت بھی ہو گی۔ روڈ ایسا بھی نہیں کہ پرابلم ہو بس احتیاط اور سکون سے ڈرائیونگ کریں ۔ اس طرح دو دن آ پ کالام اور اس کے گردونواح کو دیکھ سکتے ہیں۔ مہوڈنڈ اور اس کے اردگرد جھیلوں کو ایک دن میں دیکھنا مشکل ہو جائے گا۔ دو دن میں آ سانی ہو جائے گی۔ جیسے ایک دن مہوڈنڈ اور اوشو اور دوسرے دن دوسرے۔ اس وقت مجھے گاڑیوں کے کرائے کا اندازہ نہیں لیکن میرے خیال سے کالام سے آ گے کرایہ پانچ ہزار سے زیادہ ہی ہو گا۔

[saibiq]

Haroon bhai lakes are on the same route, I guess Bewaqoofi hogi do din same route p travel karna. What do u suggest in this regard?

[haroonmcs26]

اگر آ پ ایک دن میں کر سکتے ہیں تو کر لیں لیکن میرے خیال میں تو یہ ہاتھ لگانے والی بات ہو گی۔لیکن اگر آ پ کے پاس وقت کم ہے تو پھر کچھ نہ ہونے سے کچھ ہونا بہتر ہے

[saibiq]

Time is not the issue but going on same route in two successive days in a single trip seems odd? Have u visited Nasrullah n Saifullah? Worth watching?
