Some more pictures that we took on our way to Upper Domail....

Heres what happened here... owner of the jeep came back after a while and he wanted to drive the jeep himself and he was terrible driver, believe me. The bumpiest ride ever. I mean, all he understands about driving is acceleration. So, eventually the foundation of the engine was torn apart, i guess it was weak already. They tied it with some kinda rope as a temporary solution. After this incident the actual driver took the control of the steering wheel and the ride from here onwards was less bumpy...

STUNNING Pictures ....Lots of ajk upper neelum vally thread now a day on PW..i guess now more and more peoples are going to AJK , rather then Gilgit balistan and Naran ,especially those who want to see the beautiful places in calmness as less tourists visit these places.. ....

This season A lot of people are visiting Neelum Valley, A boost sign for local tourism in neelum valley...I guess local people there will be quite happy with this economic boost altogether and will preserve the beauty of Neelum rather than ruining it like Naran Kaghan.

glitteringstar (glitteringstar) 2012-07-20 08:24:12 +0500 #38

One thing more, Neelum is Amazingly beautiful...it give an unknown pleasure to eyes when we look at the green pastures pictures in pics i dont know how it will be felt actually when visiting this valley. Amazing
