“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” – Anonymous
On 5th September 2017 we arrived in
Rawalpindi by Tezgam Express a perfect budget train with AC coaches.
Rawalpindi is a major hub for those who like to go to Northern Areas of
Gilgit-Baltistan or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
As a frequent traveler, I and my family
have gone to numerous spots inside Pakistan, and also on several foreign
tours. On our last trip toward Northern Areas of Pakistan we cover the
Gilgit side of Gilgit-Baltistan region and visited lots of places
including Abbottabad, Mansehra, Balakot, River Kunhar, Naran, Saiful
Muluk, Lalazar, Batakundi, Jalkhad, Lulusar Lake, Piyala Lake, Babusar
Pass, Dalain, Chillas, Tata Pani, Confluence of River Indus & river
Gilgit, Junction point of Karakorum, Hindukush and Himalayas, Raikot
Bridge, Nanga Parbat View Point, Jaglot, Gilgit, Rakaposhi View Point,
Aliabad, Karimabad, Baltit, Ganish, Attabad, Naltar, Hopper, Altit,
Dauikar, Gulmit, Passu, Sust, Borith Lake and accomplished our objective
of reaching Khunjerab Pass at Pakistan-China border.
This time we decided to travel toward the
Land of Fairies (Fairy Meadows) and cover the Sakardu side of
Gilgit-Baltistan. Fairy Meadows is at the height of 10826.77 ft. (3,300
meters) and is the first stopover for those travelling to Nanga Parbat
peak. And for Skardu side, we visited Rama, Astore, Tarashing, Rupal,
Deosai, Khaplu, Sakardu City, Kachura and then toward Hunza.
Following is a brief description of my visit:
- Family Members: Me, my wife and 2 Kids (a 15 years old son and 10 years old daughter)
- Transport Used: Train, Private Car (Taxi), Jeep
- Dates: From 4 September 2017 till 23 September 2017
The voyage started out on the 4th of
September 2017 from Karachi to Rawalpindi via Train. By traveling on
Tezgam, a perfect budget train with AC coaches, we reached Rawalpindi on
5th September 2017. We stay at my sister’s home in Pindi on 5th and 6th
of September. Our real adventure begins on 7th September 2017 from
Rawalpindi.
