Rakaposhi trek in a Rush,and a night on the bank of naltar lake

[emmaar]

Trekking is just like a Drug and one who used to be in trekking never thinks to leave it up BUT.............many type of limitations restricts our time to actively participated in our beloved Pakwheel Forum.
I myself did a couple of treks in previous year like
Supt Valley(supt pass and Sarkatha Pass).
Dana Meadow Khanian
Godur Lake Kalam
Naltar Pass
Shukargah Pass and Lakes
Chita Katha lake
But couldn't get time to post or documented or even post on FB. Hope to continue all my activities as we did in past. Need prayers

[emmaar]

IA sir,
I will select a trek for posting soon.
The good thing about Pakwheelers is that sooner or later they will return to PAkwheels.

G Bhai Sure, Love to listen, i am sure, it will have some interesting story behind this,

bhai baat hai 2013 ki, aur ham teen dost they kumraat wadi main, wahan sey chaley gaey jandari,,,
aur jandari sey dor lagai to jahaz banda / katora lake ki traf...

raat guzari chamreen cottage main, aur raja taj mohammad ney bataya keh sir, yeh wala pahar cross karo to dosri traf kalam/ utror k qasbey main pohanch jao gay,,, laikin bohat mushkil hai aap log aisey nahi ja saktey, ham ney kaha, lo ji ham to haramosh bhi gaey, wahan bhi gaey yahan bhi gaey, is pahar ko to ham ney sakht barfun main abbor kiya to uss pahar main woh kar diya,,, sab sun kar raja taj mohammad ney zaad e rah k tour per aik dumba zibah kiya aur apna bhanja as guide sath kar diya,

uss waqt tak ham khud ko jawan samjhtey they aur porters etc lainey ka takaluf kam hi kartey they
so chal parey...
rasta seedhi charhai,,, kiyun keh rasta to tha nahi, bus yeh pahar charh kar dosri janib utar jana tha.... ham charhtey gaey, taj mohammad ka bhanja nawab hamarey sath chalta raha,
ahista ahista hamari chalney ki raftar kam hoti gai, kuch kamar per rucksacks ka wazan aur kuch charhai...
nawab, (bhanja of taj mohammad) sir, thora taiz chalien dekhien badal neechey aa raha, tofan aa gaya to phans jaien gay
me, bhai ji, iss sey taiz nahi ,,, aur itna bol kar sans thikaney lagane k liey phir sastana shuru,
nawab mujh sey hat kar keh yeh budha to reh hi gaya 2nd member k pass.. mudassir k pass
sir, .. lambi khamoshi
hampta kampta mudasir bola, kiya hua, bolo kiya baat hai,, aur phir woh bhi sastaney lehza bhar k liey ruk gaya
.... nawab,, kuch nahi sir, aap bus ruko nahi chaltey raho ,,
hasrat sey hamarey tesrey sathi (@onlyhassan ) ko dekhey jo sir jhukaey muskalun sey pahar charhta ja raha tha,, nawab uski traf barha to main ney isharey sey rok diya,,
nawab kiyun uski speed mazeed kam kartey ho...
woh bechara kabhi asman ko dekhey kabhi hamari raftar ko aur bus chalta jaey,,, khuda khuda kar k ham top per pohachey,, taiz hawa jiss main braf k zarrey bhi they hamien tang karti thi, wahan per shukar kiya keh aab utrai hogi, aur ham issi khushi main chal parey, laikin, agey thi pathar ki duniya (bouldering) rahey sahey muscles bouldering ney tabah kar diey. wahan sey agey steep utrai ussi trah ki jaisi charh kar aaey they.. muscles bhi pull, 10 hours ho chukey they cont. rucksacks utha kar trek kartey huey... so, mazeed kaam kharab tha,

nawab ki bardasht aab khatam ho chuki thi, kehney laga, sir aap sey charhai charhi nahi jati , utrai bhi utri nahi jati, aap to boltey they pata nahi kon kon sey pahar sir kar liey aur pata nahi kiya kuch kar liya,

main ney pholtey sans aur tangun k khichey muscles k sath jawab diya: yaar iss baat ka jawab kal dun ga

magar woh bar bar gussey main boli jaey, khair sey agey dariya bhi aa gaya, aab ham jotey utarney k haq main na they, bari bari teeno ko usney kamar per utha kar dariya paar karwaya, means main uski kamar per aur meri kamar per ruksack... nawab mazeed gussey main,,

subah 6 bajey k chaley huey sham ko 730 per kalam banda pohanchey with no lunch break,, and truely nothing to eat in between but a tukra of sokhi roti (beech main do baar rasta bhi bhatak kar khowah mokhwah chaltey rhaey, nawab sey kaha tum to kehtey they k tumhien rasta pata hai to kehta tha, main yahan kabhi nahi aya, mera dada (grand father) aya tha, uss ney mujhey aisa hi bataya tha... (banda kiya kahen,,, aap jan saktey hian keh hamari dushmani ki ibtada wahan sey hi hui hogi))

cutting short, next day we were sure that one day's trek will bring us to utroor, and tab nawab ko bulaya, usko kaha, yaar tum poochtey they na keh ham ney kesey barey barey treks kiey aur pahar sir kiey, though keh oper ham sey nahi charha jata, neechey ham sey nahi utra jata,

kehta, han ji batao kesey kiey?

mera jawab.. aisey hi jaisey ham ney yeh kar liya.. it was named as Dirr gali pass. to bhai jiss trah ham ney yeh dir gali cross kar li, jis k mutaliq tum aur raja taj mohammad shakood ka shikar they, ussi toor ham ney baqi sab bhi kiya hua hai...

uska jawab classic tha,,, yani rotey rotey...
this brought a huge laughter amongst all of us......

so this was the kahani of ... oper charh nahi saktey, neechey utar nahi saktey,, paharun main kiya karney aaey ho

you can find dirr gali trek or kumrat region in my list of threads,, keywords bhol raha keh kiss naam sey thread tha, however, pics were uploaded there at that time.

u can take ur car upto diran resthouse, all is metalled ... pakki dhaki road hai

you can trek upto tagafari and back to minapin in a day if u leave very early and carry nothing .....but that is useless.... one must stay there.

we left at 830 and reached there at 4 o clock or so.. with rucksacks and going easy.

[conflicted]

next morning we ride up straight to naltar lake...
camped there, and move around, upper naltar ko hath lagaya, usko salami di and baqi dostun ko chor kar main wapis neechey tents k pass main naltar lake per aa gaya,

there were hotels now, there were chaey, tents, multiple khokhas and pata nahi kesi kesi awazien,,,,,

this was not the nalter i knew and i had in my dreams.... wahan aisey aisey dost miley,,,,

aik bhai sahib ney pehley merey tent main ghuss kar pics banwaien, phir mera hat ley kar,,, aur main jo jheel sey tanha baatien karney baitha tha,,,,kafi dair unki nazar ho gaya kaam
khair pics first kahaniyan baad main

Zabardast, actually pahari logoun ka stamina boht ziyada hota hay, woh logue use too hotay hain, because unka routine track hi trekking hota hay. Magar Usnay Lafzoon Lafzoon mein hi puri kardi

Actually i also belong to one of the village in Shangla, and spent childhood at another hilly area, Salt Ranges, Khewra, when shifted Lahore in 1999, all roads seems to be MALAI to me, because we ride our bicycles in that hilly area with lots of potential, and i still remember that whenever i have to bought books from URDU BAZAR, my class-fellows insist to go via NEW KHAN bus service and i always take two or three of them on my bicycle by saying, "much much mat karu, jab khainchna main nay hay tu tum logoon ku kiya takleef hoti hay, "

And after the passage of time, saray stamina ki aisi ki taisi hogayee, ab tu office ki stairs charhtay howay bhi sanse phool jaati hay, cycling tu door ki baat hay, ,

Anyhow wonderful effort and nice writing sir g, after all memories are memories,

Takecare.

[hnawaz]

Thanks & Best Regards
