Thankyou @Sohaib93 @jangli_decent @ranasherdil @asifcae
you guys are really very helpful.
I understand that there is little risk in night travelling so i am now considering booking it till mansehra.
Sohaib93 brother i think it will be ok to take bike to shugran. Many people have taken. Risk to puray journey mein bhi rehta hai. But thanks for your concern

Ok brother if i start from Mansehra could you give me a plan on how I can visit whole kaghan valley in 3 days?
I would very much appreciate that.
Thanks

Day-1
Start biking from Mansehra and go Naran and visit Jheel Saif ul Malook.
Night stay at Naran (or try to reach farther Batakundi, Burawai or Jalkhad) Ahead Naran/Jalkhad go only in day light.

Day-2
Naran to Babusar Pass (4 hours with stays)
Babusar to Naran (4 hours)
Naran-Kaghan (one hour) or try to reach farther back....

Day-3
Kaghan to Kewai 1 hours
Shogran (one hour)
Siri Paya and back

Drive to Balakot

Drive back to Mansehra...

Note:- If you have to drop any area due to time constraint, drop shogran siri paya. But don't drop the Babusar....

Naran-Jalkhad 2 hours with stays
Jalkhad-Babusar top via Lulu sar with stop = 2 hours...

Try to join some biker group.

There are a lot of bikers in the Valley, you will be met.

Enjoy the time there. I hope it will be memorable trip of your life. Inshallah. Have a happy and safe journey.

You going with one bike and two persons....

Then keep luggage as low as you can. Only two pair clothing, one is wear, one in bag. take cotton trousers, so that you can even sleep with them....

chek out this pic of that trek. the reason for giving pics is that the other person shud know that i am talking from personal experience coz many time ppl just unintentionaly mislead other ppl. like mayb ur uncle heard from some1 and told u....

as far as snow in shogran is concerned chek out the following pics of shogran snow in march. so that means peak snow is in jan feb coz ppl attempt marka in that for snow/winter survival etc.

enjoy
i hope ur question is answered now

Actually my uncle heard that from some and shared with me. But i was in doubt as well that snow season cannot start so early. So i asked here

@asif

what was the route u took for ansoo jheel ..i believe it was not from jheel saif al malook, cuz we were around 15 friends in july2010, took the track from jheel saif al malook and was not able to make it...i believe it was the trek from mahandri. which i heard is much easier than the one we took, seriously, it started to rain with hailstorm on our track, and we had to return back , i think jheel was just 30 mins away, we could see malka parbat just infront of us...but on the way back. i learnt that man is nothing in front of the power of nature..we are mere creatures when nature strikes no body can get away from it, on the way back , it was the matter of life and death seriously..i slipped twice or thrice and had my heart in my mouths a couple of times...will tell the entire tale with pics in another thread too...

@ talalarif

yes its the saifulmalook lake route. this is mid november so ther is no snow and we wer able to walk on lake....
trek from manur gali/mahendari is not easy as it is 2 day trek. saifulmalook lake route trek is only 4-5 hrs. we came bac same day from ansoo lake.........

in the end u cannot penetrate the heavens and earth without the permission of our Lord Allah Subhanatala
