Welcome back viewers to another last episode of
Kumrat valley and Jahaz Banda series
So far you have seen in previous episodes
How i reached Kumrat Valley and Kala Chashma point
and visited its waterfall
Then i came to Jahaz Banda (Meadows)
Here i camped one night
Then i went to KATORA LAKE trekking
Now i am taking you to my favourite place
That is Kund Banda (Meadows)
Lets packup and leave for Kund Banda
So i folded my camp and sat there for a cup of tea
He is TAJ DIN
Who set up first hut at Jahaz Banda many years ago
and started promoting this place to trekkers
After having tea, i took my bags and left for Kund Banda
Bags are very heavy
and Kund Banda trail is very steep
So we have to trek very carefully
Do you remember, i shared why i am camping at
2nd side of Jahaz Banda?
This was the reason
That Kund Banda access is only from this side
and many people miss this point
and go back without visiting this point
Its about to sun set
I will stay night at this point
and after that
will leave from here early morning towards THAL
As i told before, path is very steep
so i have hanged one of my bag to a local helper
he will take my bag in the start
and when steep path will be finished
then i will take back my bag from him
Literally this is very steep
I have to climb the same path in the morning
and then i took my bag at this point
So helper is gone after giving my bag
No i have to trek on this narrow path
You can not see clearly
but i am hearing sounds of waterfall
Lets go slowly
Will meet you down there
Because path is very dangerous
Can't bring out my camera for videos
But if there will be any chance, i will surely make video to show the path
Hiking stick is the best tool in such paths
so that you can check lose land and stones
For ease
i have attached the camera with my body
so that no scene should be missed
because people watch trekking videos
specially to see the path
so that they cam make their preparations
so i have covered almost
quarter path so far
and am going very slowly
which path should i take
One path is above and one is going down
i think
i should choose the upper one
because there are chances of slipping here
ohhh..i was about to slip
just got saved
normally i wear day bag on my front (chest)
but now i have hanged it on my shoulder
because path is so narrow and i could not see it
but bag is slipping from my shoulder
scene is bad
when it is more steep
you should walk zig zag
and you get a firm grip on land
I dont know you are able to see from camera or not
That is beautiful
blue stream of Kund Banda
We are going downhill further
It is again a steep portion
So this Jahaz Banda Waterfall
Water noise is very high
I dont know am i audible or not
But we are not going towrads waterfall
We are going at the opposite point
my favorite place in this region
As soon as i coming down
my excitement level was going high
when i will reach on this lush green grass
and get myself refresh from this blue colored water
Asalam Alaikum
How are you? you are TAJ.. right?
TAJ din told me about you
i will keep this bag with me
Are you alone? Yes
whats your name? BILAL !
This is such a beautiful place
There are small huts and tables
and they have also put up a tent
and this is the beautiful water stream
oh my God
Can't i take this scene with me to Lahore?
wow
Beautiful horses are busy in eating grass
what a peaceful place this is..
And the scene of these horses seems like
you are watching a movie scene
Ok lets setup our camp before evening
Then we will find some food for dinner
will have some light food
So i setup my tent at some high point near water
and just think about having a tea here
how much you will enjoy?
Yes ! i really enjoyed a lot
While taking each sip of tea
i was watch a new glimpse of this beauty
which was giving me so freshness
which is unexplainable :-)
and you can feel this only by visiting this place
So camp has been setup now
and local people show hospitality by serving tea
There is no match of having tea in this beautiful place
some people were also sharing
If we follow this dragon shape stream
then there is another water fall
but i could not go further
because it was getting dark
then i went to tuck shop to get some hot water
and enjoyed noodles
so viewers, finally
Its dark now and i am preparing for sleep
There is only my camp in Kund Banda right now
and there are 2 security guards outside
This is my lifetime experience that one and only my camp is here
and that too in such a beautiful place
Now i will meet you early morning at prayer time
Welcome to a very cool good morning at Kund Banda
I slept sound sleep during night
and sound of slowly moving water is so soothing
at one side, you have the waterfall
and you also hear its sound during night
and if you see at this side
these horses look so beautiful
and you also hear their sounds during night
they remain at other side of water
this was literally a wonderful scene
I dont think Pakistan has any place like this
for camping..
So now i will pack my camp after sometime
then we will go to these beautiful benches
I will make some instant coffee from sachets
and will enjoy sitting here
Then i will make you jealous showing this
You have to promise one thing with me
I know you will come here after watching this video
Promise me that you will not leave a single wrapper and plastic here
These 2 guards are also taking care of its cleanliness
You should also be a responsible citizen
and keep this place as it is....clean and beautiful
and these benches are now waiting for me
now i am going to the kitchen hut
and will get some hot water to drink coffee
Locals are very helpful here
specially the security guards here
I think i should sit at this point
and there is also a small bridge over there
but a little risky
You will find some hygiene related issues here
keep this thing in your mind
you should not make complaints at such points
because there are very limited resources
If you are very much hygiene concious
then bring your own pots here
but there is no harm if you can bear unhygienic
utensils for 2 or 3 days here
your focus should always remain on this beautiful scenery
Then i came near water stream after getting my coffee mug
I can either have coffee at this bench (bridge)
or we have this option aswel
Lets first sit here
Now i am enjoying my coffee here and getting you jealous
this is my tent setup
so i came all the way walking from here
so i have drunk half of my coffee
and half of it will drink on this bridge
so coffee is now finished
now i am going to pack my camp
because onward travel is very long
i have to go to Jahaz banda
then there is 3 hrs downhill trekking
and will reach takki banda
then will go THAL from Takki Banda
Thal to Mardan city and then finally Lahore
so almost 2 days travel ahead
so without wasting our time
lets go to our camp and pack our bags
This is the most sad moment for me
when i have to pack my things last time
and have to start my journey to return
So bags are packed and only tent is remaining
lets remove it quickly
and then we will go to the top
so finally, good bye to our waterfall aswel
Water is so much strong with noise
and these are views of our Kund Banda
and we are also saying good bye to this place
now we are going to the top of mountain
towards Jahaz Banda
so this was my favorite camping site
KUND BANDA
In next episode, i will share my travel from here
and Food Vlog of Thal Bazar
see you then
