@imran bhatti ! As i belong to the same area , i will try to reply ur question and 7th gear is off line from last two days. May be he will also respond to ur question.
Its very easy to go from Lahore to Soan Valley. Route for bikes is following Lahore -Sargodha-Khaushab-Naushahra (soan Valley). Where as if u want to go there by cars then Lahore Isl Motorway -exit on Kalar Khar- right toward Khushab - Padrar-Pail-Pail chowk- Jabba , here u will enter in soan valley . Whenever u want to go there send me e-mail , i will send u complete map.
Regarding night stay . There is one hotel in Naushahra which offer room service. Its name is Ghusia Hotel. In case of any other query , i would be happy to reply u.

@imran bhati! In these days weather is very cold there. I would not suggest to go there in these days. The best period is mid of march.

Thanks for the appreciation.

@awan191

I am the one with the glasses. I have Kanhatti garden in the list and shall visit it soon InshAllah.

@imranbhatti
The valley is surely worth seeing. And the route is same as awan191 mentioned, but the road from Sargodha to Khushab is in awful condition and a journey of hardly 40 minutes takes 2 hours. Weather these days is quite cold for such a ride but it would be better to go there by March. It usually rains on these mountains.Worth seeing place all the more exciting if the ride is taken on bikes..

@offroad

Buddy the Khushab Railway station is in my mind you asked for its pics earlier, I shall try to take some soon. I have seen the Khabeki lake some years back and now that I am doing regular rides I shall go there again on some ride.

@bilaltq ! dear u can see both side of picture in soan valley. On one side "khachar" being used for carrying of goods & water on hilly ways. and on the other side u can see "PRADO" of "SEDECREM" our PKW member on roads. So if u want to visit "Soan Valley" both means are available. Now choice is ur's.

@imranbhatti

You're always welcome. There is a thread here I posted called Amb Shafir, the Ride and another one called Pics from my adventure ride. DO see them too, those places are from the Soun valley too and great historical places that very few people know about.
