Hello People, I am back from the Trip.
I was itching to escape the heat of Lahore for a long time but the program was delayed again and again. Anyway it all fell in to place this Friday afternoon and we left for Muree/Ayubia around 7:30 on Friday night. The weather there was superb, all cloudy and it rained most of the time.
We didnt stop in Muree as its too crowded now. We headed straight for Ayubia and then 2 Kms further to Khanaspur...a nice peaceful and still unspoiled lil Vilage. There we stayed in ARMOUR HUT thanks to a Friends Grand DAD who was in Army.

Now for some Pics...It was too cloudy, no Sunshine at all so the pics are not that good
