Thanks a lot Naweed. Below are the answers to your questions.
-- how far is FM from Islamabad ? i guess u turn from raikot or raikot bridge ... so how far is this place on KKH and the once u r off KKH how far ahead.
[Abdullah] FM is around 520km from Islamabad via KKH. Yes, you have to reach Raikot Bridge on KKH which takes 13-14 hours from Islamabad. You have to park your cars at Shangrila Hotel Raikot Bridge. Then you have to hire a jeep till Tatu Village which is a 1.5 hours track. Then you have to travel on foot for around 3 hours to reach Fairy Meadows.
-- can a car go there ? i mean u went by car
[Abdullah] Cars can go upto Raikot Bridge. After that jeep and your legs have to take you to Fairy Meadows.
-- Did u see any families visiting and staying at the place (Fairy meadows only)
[Abdullah] I was surprised to see so many families at Fairy Meadows. I believe they hire ponies from Tatu as it isnt easy for kids to trek for 3 straight hours.
-- Did u get a booking for their camps ? if yes, please give the contact number and name
[Abdullah] Yes, i got booking due to peak season. You can contact below for booking
1- Fairy Meadows Cottage (http://www.fairymeadowscottage.com) this is where i stayed
2- Raikot Sarai (http://www.raikotsarai.com)
3- Broadview (http://www.fairymeadowsbroadview.com)
There are other setups as well but these three are with best location.
-- when u say rs 1000/- per head including meals, is it like a mess where there are fixed menus and timings and just join in .. are there other options like if the food is spicy and kids don't want to eat, is there any second option
[Abdullah] Yes, its kind of a mess where the menu's are fixed. The options are very limited due to the location and the effort involved in bringing food items from far flung areas.
