Resuming our journey from babusar top. we stayed half an hour on top. it was cold on top. we took tea and egg and then continue our journey.

stay at lalusar lake for 15 minutes and then resume. road from babusar top to lalusar lake is in very bad shape.

Some pics of lalusar lake..

Surroundings from lalusar to jalkhad. i really like this road always. its all over greenery with very beautiful scenery all around you.
We took lunch at jalkhad with "Channa pilaO". jalkhad was over crowded that day. meal was not as much good as we had last year.

Reached Naran in the evening. took tea and then resume journey. from naran to kaghan many glaciers were present and streams came out from glaciers block the traffic at some extent.

Stop over again at manshera as the driver was getting drowsy. reached abbotabad at night around 10 p.m
search for hotel and found twin bed rooms @1300 rs.
it was nice rooms in such price.

versitian (versitian) 2014-07-23 02:32:40 +0500 #454

Reason for staying in abbotabad and not in balakot or manshera is to cover maximum distance to reach nearer to islamabad and "Qabli Pilao".

We had very tasty Qabli pilaO in abbotabad in our last visit of naran. so we wanted to taste it again but unfortunately that hotel was closed. so after getting freshen up we started searching for qabli pilao and then found it in some other hotel.

Day 15: 27th June 2014

Next day we started our journey from abbotabad. our main task was to reach islamabad in the evening for schedule flight at 9:45 p.m. So we took breakfast of halwa pori. all our needs and khuaishain was coming out.

Hazaron khuaishain aisi k har khuaaish pay dam niklay..

Stayed some time in nathiagali and then 2-3 hours in murree for shopping. murree was over crowded as it was peak season. reached islamabad in the evening.

Search for good restaurant for lunch and took zinger burger in jinnah super market.
Reached airport on planned time i.e 7.30. check in then wait for departure.

Initially we were told that air indus plane is late 1 hrs. but afterwards it was announced that flight is cancelled due to some technical reasons. all the passengers got shocked with this news. as this was the peak season for flights also. passengers contacted to air indus personal but they didn't give any satisfactory replies.
By asking about next flight they said. "no seat in tomorrow flight. may be u get a chance on day after tomorrow i.e sunday".

Ramzan was about to start from monday.
So it was a moment of panic for all the passengers. Other airline flight rates was about 18000 pkr from isb to khi..

The passengers were getting annoyed and aggressive. We realized that airline will never facilitate us in this peak season so we think for other options. like train, daewoo etc.

As i said before Sufian @xoofi was the 6th member of our trip. he was continuously remain in contact with me. when ever i got the signal, the first call or sms i received was from sufian. he is such a nice guy.

Shorten the story. I discussed the whole scene with him and alternate plans. he suggested to catch some train from lahore as the chance of train is greater in lahore as compare to pindi or faislabad.

He suggested to get train on 12:30 a.m from pindi to lahore,we moved from airport after getting our tickets cancelled. reached railway station, but no ticket was available for that train"forgot the name of train"

Again we moved on, on same taxi to faizabad for daewoo. catched bilal daewoo 2 a.m and reached lahore early morning.

Reached station but the reservation office was closed. so we decided to stay in hotel. search for hotel and get a guzara like hotel in @1500 rs. Got fresh and then took break fast from Hafiz restaurant. in the mean time sufian joined us.
after break fast i with sufian on his bike left for kajhal khuari.
some of his relative was in railway dept. but as it was peak season no seats were available in any train on that day or tomorrow.

Sufian suggest to take a flight from Lahore as it was around 11000 on Sunday morning. we discussed with other fellows and finally decide to take flight from lahore.

I again with sufian left for flight booking. got our flight booked @11600 pkr.
We took breakfast/lunch again at hafiz restaurant as i got to know that sufian met me without having breakfast.:-#

After breakfast/lunch we booked bolan hiroof for next day airport drop and then sufian drop me at my hotel for taking some rest.
