It took me 3 hours from Sudhan Gali to reach very close to Summit. I did not reach the actual summit due to snow. we cam back from the rawalakot side. we stayed the night at a local hotel at the sudhan gali bazar. There are not many options in terms of hotels. Benazir palace is the only hotel which is on the expensive side for us at 4500 per night. we stayed for 800 for the night at that hotel. but it was too cold. To be honest with you there is nothing much to see at Sudhan Gali. there is just this Ganga Choti trek which is not possible for the family so i dont recommend Sudhan Gali as a tourist destination.
