In previous 5 episodes you traveled with me from Lahore to Danna Meadows top
From there we passed from Kaghan, Naran and reached at BattaKundi
Where ROOMY Mountain Top resort welcomed us
whose location and facilities impressed me a lot
now lets watch Episode - 06
So its early morning...
the road is totally empty
and seems like newly built
and it is really enjoyable to ride on the fresh and empty road
On the way we passed from Glacier, sunny views, water streams, broken patches and some beautifully built roads
and reached JALKHAD after 40min where you can find snacks and Petrol
and then we reached BESAL
so viewers now we have reached BESAL
and on my right side, there is Dodipatsar Lake trek
this is the reason BESAL is now famous
and the most famous thing here is MOON RESTAURANT
where people stay a night in tents
and next day the leave for Dodipatsar Lake trekking
so we have reached lulusar
lets have some food here
i really enjoy going at its bank
so lets meet you down there
There is no match of having 2 sips of coffee at the bank of a lake
and this is called un-explainable experience
so we have enjoyed coffee at lulusar lake
now lets go to the top where our bikes are parked
we left our lugagge open there
i hope nothing would be stolen
the path is quiet steep
whenever i pass through such roads where mountains are on one side and lake on the other
then like others, instead of driving fast, i slow don my bike
so that i can feel each n every scene
and these scenes keeps stopping me from going onwards
but traveling is the name of KEEP MOVING
thats why i have chosen my name BEING A TRAVELER
So viewers we left from lulusar lake and now moving towards Babusar Top
road is now little rough
There you can see at the top ... is Babusar top
then after crossing this flat road
upward steep roads will start
what a road, what a speed
what a bike and what a rider ..hahahahaaha
cold is increasing as soon as babusar is approaching
and bike is struggling while going upward
then after 2 or 3 steep roads, we will reach at babusar top (13,700 Ft)
and will show you snacks pakoray, fried eggs and french fries
and finally we have reached babusar top
it will be closed after 2 , 3 weeks because of snow
this is october start when we are visiting
extreme cold wind is blowing
so we are at babusar now
we have already taken our picture with babusar top board of 13,700 foot height
lets have some pakoray here and to high speed wind is blowing will you these pakora hot again? after giving order for Pakoras, i slept at bedstead
At one point there was full noise and enjoyment at the bottom
and when we go at the top
a very fast lowing wind was welcoming winters at the top snow capped mountains
so here are our fresh and hot Pakoras and boiled eggs
Babusar without coffee is impossible
so we have asked him to make 2 cups of hot coffee
and after having coffee we will leave for Chillas You can see speedily babusar is developing
The are before Babusar is KPK Province and this (babusar area) is within Gilgit Baltistan region
after saying good bye to Babusar we are no on downward road
Road is quiet steep but we are driving very slowly
on our way back on this road, it will be a quiet tough drive
Bike is speeding up automatically and we are covering this path taking lot of curves
after a little straight road, another turn comes again
and bike ramps up speed automatically
the temperature is increasing as we are coming down
i am removing all my thermals one by one because of heat
and weather of Chillas is actually very hot
lets see how is the weather in this month of October
already i am feeling the difference
am feeling so heat now that i have opened my jacket zip n vents aswel
and have removed another shirt
but still the heat is increasing
i think weather will remain like this till chillas
and it will get pleasant after Raikot and Astore valley
or may be temperature will come down during the evening
so we have reached at ZERO POINT of chillas
and it is scorching heat
sun is shinning and i have removed everything
and we are hoping for pleasant temperature during evening
at some point (babusar) it was too cold, and now (chillas) it is too hot
so we planned to reach Astore by tonite while having a plate of Biriyani rice
which was impossible
so we have left from chillas
and now a very bad patch of road has been started
from last many years it is under construction
and this time they have put some stone pitching
i think finally this is near to complete
but still i have to drive very slowly because of its roughness
Thank God a good patch of road also exist here :-)
but dont expect same further
on our left side, we have brown colored big mountains
on our front, there are hard stones mountains
and on our left is a desert
and there is a big desert coming in front of me
Viewers ! its almost 5 PM in the evening and we are moving towards ASTORE VALLEY
as per current estimation, it looks impossible to reach Astore
and it seems we have to stay our night at RAIKOT
because it is not advisable to drive after sunset
So we have reached just before sunset
from this point you can go to Fairy Meadows
and there if you can see...is famous Raikot Bridge
from here, you can hire Fairy meadows jeeps
We have planned to stay in a cheap room tonite
and then we will resume our journey in the morning
Lets go and check any room here
let me tell you the details. There room rate was starting from 3500 Rs
so i have negotiated with him
i asked him to allow us for camping here
so we will do camping at this place
and that too FREE of cost
so this is our deal with them
we will order food from them from which they will get the benefit
Room was expensive for us in 3500 Rs
Backpackers like us never pay 3500 Rs per nite
We can stay 4 nights in 3500 Rs :-) (at any basic hotel)
we have small bed here
Its hot but we will put up summer tent here
Umer: No issue, it will get colder after sometime
so umer is saying it will be colder at night
so far this is our point of sleeping tonight
lets bring the tent
anyways these are the views here
finally we removed our bags and installed the tent
and after having dinner, slept at Raikot instead of Astore
In next episode you will watch my journey on Karakoram Highway to Astore valley
where we will visit ALLAH WALI LAKE
and why it is called ALLAH WALI LAKE?
for this, you would watch Episode-7
