When we reached the ground we met a local guy. He was searching his cow . The cow was lost three days a go and he was much worried but he welcomed us with a huge smile and told us that this ground is called sarasa polo ground. He also offered us tea but we refused and thanked him.

Thanks @asifcae bro. How much further is shigar from this ground. Is there a specific treck?

We opted the other route which moves along with stream. So have to cross stream at several times. The water was extremely cold and may be its the wrong decision we took . This route was not good as we expected as it was muddy at several places. So it took three hours to reach back to our start point. Our other team members were also waiting for us and was bit worried .

There was some time left behind in sunset so decided to visit chaqchan mosque. Here are some of the pics.

We were so much hungry at that time as we trekked all the day and eat nothing. Reached our hotel and ordered biryani. It was well cooked by the hotel owner it self. We ate it to the full and slept away

Wow wat a place that was. Really enjoyed there . Have a cup of tea there took some pics and moved back to skardu. Relaxed there for a while and move back to gilgit. Our initial plan was to visit naltar next but changed our plan and decided for fairy meadows. We reached gilgit at 2am. Now couldn't find a good hotel as all of them were full and took a dirty room unhappily. Next day left the room early took some necessary food items for trekking and reached raikot . Hired a jeep and reached tatoo village at 3pm

How much time it takes from Skardu to Manthoka Waterfalls?

rao.umair.3194 (Rao Umair) 2015-06-27 18:36:23 +0500 #86

Bro! It takes 2 to 3 hours approximately . Depends upon the little stopovers for pics.

rao.umair.3194 (Rao Umair) 2015-06-28 17:46:22 +0500 #87

Some of the pics during trekking. It takes two hours to reach fairy meadows which was comparatively much better than our first trip which takes 4 hours.
