[vamking]

That is the fun of these leisure trips,
You are not in any hurry and can stop anywhere you want on the way to capture and admire the beautiful scenery.

Daniyal bhai yes exactly after all this if for the leisure trips are.....

[vamking]

Stopped there for a while. I was confused about the way of thandiani either go upward or downward????

Later on I asked the way to thandiani from this location from the pickup driver.

[vamking]

Anyother view while going to thandiani. Turns are sharp. You have to drive carefully on the otherhand advantage was traffic was less.

[vamking]

Beautiful views at almost every turn. It took us complete 1 Hour to reach thandiani from Murree road.

The drive from Abbottabad to Thandiani is really beautiful.
more pics are awaited.

[vamking]

Some more casual scene. When I did'nt visited Thandiani, I don't know the worth of that area. Let me tell you thandiani is worth visiting place. But you have to hike towards the PMA hut to get closer to the nature.

Small waterfall again.....

Captured this PANORAMA VIEW from the terrace of our residence. Really beautiful.

where did u stay?? info.. info.. rents etc etc

Brother we stayed at Military mess in Army. My cousin in Army arranged that residence for us.

Its Baloch officers mess abbotabad and look like you got those vip rooms of the main central building.

Finally with the help of Allah Almight we reached till river Kunhar. I always read the threads by all our Pak wheel Brothers and Guru's especially the outstanding threads of Mr. Rehman (Spitfire). Pakwheels gives me the courage to go beyond abbotabad mansehra for the first time.

Some people wrote in their threads that they can't describe the beauty of northern areas of Pakistan in their words and camera's can't do the justice to their beauty, I totally agree with them now by 101%. Although I just went till Kewai which is not enough. But inshallah I will go beyond Kewai in next trip.

My santro also supported me in this trip alot, which I did'nt expect due to some major mechanical works which I sorted out before beginning of this trip.

any idea how is the road beyond kewai till naran?

btw excellent trip
excellent coverage
Thumbs up

Reminded me of my trip to thandyani back in 2009 on Alto 2005. Here is a video of that climb. I was driving and my cousin made the video.

Condition of engine needs to be very good to climb over with full load. In the last part of the video you can see that passengers got dismounted and the vehicles are trying to climb with only driver in it. Some vehicles were overheated en route and we gave em water bottles.

We had breakfast at Kalarkahar for PKR 450 for 2 Parathas, 2 Omelets and two cup of tea. Moved onward from Kalarkahar to Hasanabdal Interchange to reach Abbotabad via Haripur and Havelian. Notice the beautiful cloundy skies, it fascinated me so much that I could'nt stop myself to capturing it while driving.

Very dangerous, specially driving and with family!
Why you did not take advantage of your partner?

Yes it was dangerous but alhamdolillah I am careful driver. Secondly my partner was sleeping at that time. Ha ha ha.

Brother we do not went beyond kewai so If I say that I know the road conditions and guide you falsly on road conditions that it will be unfair. But till Kewai from Mansehra road condition is great.
