After having paratha chai in breakfast as made by our hosts, we packed our bags to leave early morning. Those locals never charged us anything. All they need from you is some useful equipment or medicines that you have extra with you. Nauman gifted his trekking stick to an old lady who couldn't walk properly in those cruel terrains. we also gave them a lot of medicines. our complete first aid box. they were very happy.
The walk from Chandwali to Mir Malik is an easy but long walk. It is continuous descend on a relatively broader trek. 6-8 hours of walk with very few breaks. we did this part in 6 hours. This portion of the trek is really fascinating. first we passed through beautiful unclimbed peaks of Astore. and then comes grassy meadows where local horses graze. we reached Mir Malik by 1:30 pm. and then found a jeep from here to reach Rattu and then to Nasir abad. where had tea at a small local hotel. and hired another vehicle that took us to rama meadows Astore. Camped there for the night and left early morning for Rawalpindi.
