wonderful tour,
and as said by siege, your first trip and excitment in ur words, and faces of your kids, at pine park, your youngest kid, was very extra excited for being there, probably.
All mashallah looking very very excited, good to see and it reminds me of our first trip to the same place in 1998, i guess.
What was the rent of pine park, where u stayed, and did u make a plan already of staying there? as its on the other side of the river, and mostly people ignore, specially who came visit kaghan/naran first time.
i was also in naran in first week of july, and yes the way to saif al malook is new, the old is long and dangeruos, and due to a very long glacior on its way, there was a routine traffic jam, as only one jeep can cross at a time, but now its not the case. One cultus also reaches lake in this first 10 days of july, the person who got his cultus also having a thread runing.
Good luck to u, for your future expedetions as well !!
