You are right Rehman Bhae...

Yes sure this is Kunhar River. Kunhar river is tributary of Jehlum river and it meet Jehlum below Muzaffarabad.

Another thing i want to share that the rain/snow water of Mansehra Abbotabad goes to Indus river but the rain/snow/glacier water of Kunhar river (Kaghan valley) goes to Jehlum river.

Thanks.

Dear askhokhar

Yes you are right one should check the used car before buying thoroughly. It was a major mistake made by me. Khair Allah Malik hai....

Dear Rehman Bhai,

I am already dying to go to these beautiful areas in this summer but it seems that I could'nt go there this year probably.
Well no need to say that but can't resist saying once again that nice snaps and very well narrated as expected by you. Please give the thread some speed but as per your convenience. As said by many PW brothers that we feel by visiting your thread like we are actually travelling to those areas.

May ALLAH PAK bless you and all PW brothers with health and happiness always. Ameen.

Keep smiling...

Regards- Sajed:)

And yes one question - Though your LC is full time 4x4 but if it was a part time 4x4. How often you need to engage its 4x4 en route this journey from LHR to LHR?

Its a Fulltime 4x4

Thank you so much brother for taking time and going through the thread.....Obliged for appreciation.....
After receiving these kind of nice and kind words,each and every minute spent on PC and all the efforts become worthwhile.....
A lot more to go brother....:)....but you know that due to time availability...speed is a little slow.....:(....
Now I come to your question......
You are right that this vehicle is full time 4x4......but the route I followed was straight forward and there was no need of four wheel drive option......
On my return from Naran.....I gave a try to go to the forest of "SHARAH".....a thin and steep road goes to Sharan From Paras....a place almost in the middle of Kewai And Naran.....
That road was quite narrow and steep as I said....and was under construction as well....covered by very small GRAVEL OR KHAKA.....
I felt that 4x4 option was required there.....I also selected "low range" as well...but I feel that this Vehicle is very Big/Heavy/broad for these type of thin /winding roads and U turns.....I went almost upto the half way and returned because My family was not comfortable traveling on that "scarey" Road as left wheels were running right on the edge of the road....:D....
I also have pics of all this and will share with you brothers INSHALLAH.....
Regards.
