Trek from Laddu to Kalam Banda and then to Izmis lake is very green.... The first part from Utror to Battal is jeepable and we were cursing ourselves for not taking a jeep for this part. It would have saved our 2-3 hours. But I think the trek was not clear at the very start and no jeep could have got there... Our guide told that during season jeeps regularly ply on this route to carry turnips, potatoes and other crops from Battal to Utror.... It must be about 7-8 km from Utror to Battal (The last jeepable point).
Anyways it was a very beautiful trek and worth traveling by foot.
