Story line (Islamabad to Babusar) :
On 6th june 2k17, after doing sehri and offering salah left for my destination Gilgit. I could left fasting but Allah give me strength. First stop was hari pur, stop for fuel. Aftet short stay at mansehra bypass, reach balakot.
Rain accompany me at Balakot, as per weather prediction. Have to wait for clear weather but it doesn't seems to show some Mercy, after stay of half hour, i was back on road, in rain and kept praying for blue sky. Finally i got look of clear sky , but it was for short time.
Naran is like speration point, as from Balakot to naran, this region has its own beauty, pine trees, road alone river, house construction style, locals behavior etc and it suddenly changes from naran to babusar, mountain gain height, changes its shape, pine tree vanish, river water color lifestyle.
Naran is may be most papular hill station in Pakistan, and saifulmalok lĂ ke most visited (my opinion). Till naran there were approx 30 waterfalls, all had different view and heights
Now bike started missing, checked plug and carborator but there seems no issue.
Was back on road but roaring clouds were chasing me. When i reach batakundi (was there just week ago) situation was not much different, bridge was not ready, pipes were lay down in stream, covered with soil to cross and there was long line on both side, waiting for there turn. Somehow i crossed it and reach jalkhad after many phot stops.
From jalkhad weather started becoming more and more challenging, very fast and chilling breeze were blowing with rain, above all bike started missing again
. After checking​ everything possible thing, nothing appeared ( actual issue was setting of tappet, if tappet are not properly set, bike start missing when its need power, then it consume more fuel & carborator become over with fuel ), so i got tools from bus driver, from jalkhad and checked for it and Luckily fixed it, now was bit relax but weather was same. After crossing lulusar it was like storm hit me, don't seems possible to cross babusar, so came back stayed at jalkhad.
Early morning left for babusar, this kind of view was expected, really enjoyed, captured and stay here for some time. this was view from chillas side, covered with fresh snowfall
Babusar can be accessed from four different sides,
1- Balakot
2- sharda (offroad), nori top
3- chilas-naran road (chillas side)
4- chilas gittidas (offroad)
All have different landscape, greenry, flora fana lakes, falls mountain shape and color
