Reached "Khanian" I suppose.(please correct me if wrong)....This is pine park hotel ,situated across the river....a special bridge is made over Kunhar for this hotel....
A very nice place to stay.....
secluded /separate/quite.
And most important (good thing) of all that Mobiles work very rarely here...:D...

A dangerous situation......small/big stones rolling down....and can hit you....
A month back ,I was going from Murree to NathiaGali when same thing happened....suddenly stones started falling/rolling down when I was passing from that point...I took the jeep to maximum left but last quite big stone hit the foot rest of the jeep and came under the right rear wheel...jeep hoped over it giving a good jerk on my back...and a small dent at the underside of the aluminum foot rest....

I knew/heard that there is a road exits from Paras to "Sharan"another undisturbed forest.....so decided to check that ....
This was that road....with loose gravel....

It was quite narrow and very steep.....
Notice the road right below the wires...
any how...

spitfire (spitfire) 2011-08-28 18:52:14 +0500 #1694

we took the small exit towards right side of the main road going down....

spitfire (spitfire) 2011-08-28 18:59:53 +0500 #1695

And we are coming down from the main road towards Sharan ....

Moving ahead......The trees you see in the front are all fruit trees....
I will show you in a while...

Another pic.....
Kunhar is at the right side...and there is a bridge down there....

spitfire (spitfire) 2011-08-28 19:34:09 +0500 #1699

The sides of the initial part of this road is cultivated in small patches by the locals......

spitfire (spitfire) 2011-08-28 19:35:47 +0500 #1700

Moving ahead......

spitfire (spitfire) 2011-08-28 19:38:55 +0500 #1701

A view of the road from this point.....
notice the inclination ...quite steep..
and main thing is that top of the road is small and loose gravel...providing little traction....
