Brother u have a very nice plan. But u r not justifying to the beauty of this area. A touch and go idea is not advisable.for e.g U have a plan for fairy meadows it requires a complete trip for fairy meadows if u wanna enjoy it's beauty. Sorry if u don't like my opinion.

Just one question/suggestion, you must be going Hunza via Gilgit, why dont you cover Natler Valley / Lake on the way to Hunza? this is because of NATCO Bus ? ?

In this case you should go to Skardu from Fariy Meados, cover all places and then go to Hunza / Gilgit and all surroundings.

well thanks for your suggestion but visiting Naltar Valley is our least priority, as our main spots are Hunza & Skardu.... other than that it will also depend on our budget.... and hopefullt we are trying to book jeep onwards from Raikot bridge after exploring FM for Hunza and Skardu so visiting naltar valley might be possible but again it will all depend on our budget....
