Trek was Astore to Shounter was awesome and it really tested our skills and we managed to cross it in almost 9 hours as we were out of food and even didnt ate breakfast before trekking due to non availability of food.
Soon i will share new pics

Thanks really because I was looking for quite some time for this trek and you gave a bit of it atleast. I wish to do it end July or 1st week of August.

Now pl guide me How would it be if:

(1) I do not plan to trek Shounter peak, instead, I wish to keep trekking to Shounter village, then Domail & to kel. OR,

(2) I trek from Kel to Astore: via Domail - Shounter village - Mir Malik - Astore.

Your guidance shall be really appreciated, Thanks

U can trek till Shounter village from Kel side it is fairly easy trekking of almost 2-3 hours. If u wish to enjoy jeep ride public jeeps are available from kel till shounter village.
If u want to reach shounter village from Astore side u have to cross shounter peak which is very challenging and difficult
For any guidence u can contact me

I know its been a long time but I wanted to ask some questions.
How much did you pay for Astore to Deosai and back to Astore? And how much did you pay for hotel in Astore and which hotel was that?

usman8907 (usman8907) 2018-07-17 20:22:27 +0500 #30

We paid 15000 from astore to deoasi than back to astore and next day from astore to Mir Malik Village (last village of GB towards kashmir from Shounter Side)
At Astore we stayed at Guest House of Forestry and paid 1500 for room
