At Nomi bhai's place... a surprise was waiting for us. @usmanshafqat was kind enough to join us for breakfast. He had just returned from Neela Wahn a day before.

Soon Nomi bhai emerged from his house and met us. After arranging the luggage, we headed towards the breakfast point.

Nashta was perfect. The usual Lahori "Khoye walay chanay & boiled egg" with naans and lassi..

Another TQC member Shoaib bhai (@boss77) joined us for breakfast. Nice gup shup during breakfast.

This was a warm up for upcoming trek

Now, after getting gas, we were on the way towards Babu Sabu interchange through Saman Abad more.

Stopped at "Cakes & Bakes" (@Raheeln bhai plz elaborate the correct pronunciation for this one ) for some eatables, juices and mineral water. It was a kind of tough decision to select which thing as everything was looking delicious

After getting the eatables, soon we hit the Motorway through Babu Sabu interchange.

@raheeln bhai's trick to avoid Motorway Police ticket for not wearing seat belt.. Genius

Meanwhile I got to know that two more members from Faisalabad, Tariq bhai and Sohail Bhai aka Bhatti (both NPWs) will be joining us. It was a pleasant surprise as "more the merrier". Soon we spotted their car after Pindi Bhattian and we all made a stop at Sial stopover for tea.

Here are pictures of 6 people on this trip (at Sial)..

We soon got chairs in Petrol Station's garden and it was a great place for tea

Anda Paratha (breakfast of Faisalabad members as they didn't get the time to do the breakfast in between). Tea was superb and gave us energy @raheeln bhai was on the stove

(Final outcome.. KARAK)

After Faisalabad members arrived, @waseem14pk bhai moved into their car and then @Raheeln bhai got the steering.. slow and steady

Soon we were nearing Kallar Kahar.. We got to know through @nomi700 bhai that one of his friend is traveling from Isb to Lhr and he will be joining us at Kallar Kahar. Now we will be 7 in total to head towards Neela Wahn..

Soon we got off Motorway and headed towards Kallar Kahar city's Bazar to buy ice and potatoes.

Now the hunt of ice started. Surprisingly all the vendors were not keeping ice yet because weather was not hot enough yet (according to them).

After much search, we found an ice vendor but he wasn't on shop. So got shop vendor's number from another local and phoned him to come to his shop. Soon he came and we got ice
