Enroute Kashmir

I am Yawer, My home town is Bagh Azad Kashmir, and I live in Islamabad for study, so I frequently to and fro Islamabad and Kashmir. The journey starts from Kashmir Highway to Bahara Kau to Expressway to Jhika Gali to Kashmir.

In winter, this travel becomes especially hard and adventurous, last night I went home and half of the way was snowy, and boy is it hard to drive in snow and the hard part only made it great.

I loved every moment of travel. I left somewhere near 4 PM and reached 9 PM, the time was great. Murree was full of tourists and people enjoying the snowfall but as I left Murree towards Kashmir, snow only grew but the number of people traveling grew thinner. The road grew thinner, the snow wall becomes taller. The drive was only becoming harder but still, it was fun and great. I will attach a video of it down.

Banjosa lake

One of the oldest lakes in Azad kashmir known as banjosa lake. A perfect spot that attracts the crowd. Beautiful & ancient. Peaceful & a perfect place for family picnic. The beautiful bluish water & quick fast running motor boats on it are a huge cause of its popularity. Banjosa lake is a place which is worth visiting if someone visits kashmir. 

Banjosa lake is located just near the city of Rawalakot. From the twin cities it hardly takes a 3 hour drive to reach that everlasting destination. And as far as the roads are concerned they’re crystal clear. Now talking about the people over there so its another great experience because the people are much loving much caring and their hospitality is unquestionable. 

Here are some glimpses of Banjosa lake

Lasdana - Far but worth it

Las Danna is a tourist resort in Bagh District, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. It is located 15 kilometers (9.3 m) from Bagh city at the height of 8,612 feet (2,625 m)


It is a very beautiful place to visit with lots of privacy here as there is no tourist visited here. the reason because no tourist came to this place is that it is quite far from Rawalpindi even the closest town from Rawalpindi to lasdana is Rawalakot which is a three-hour drive from Lusdana. so if anyone interested in visiting this place they have to keep in mind that more the two day are needed to reach here, enjoy and leave back to Rawalpindi.it is approximately 6 hours drive from Rawalpindi and you need a good vehicle to reach here as there is steep uphill drive at the end of your journey. The attractions here are sightseeing as this place is quite a high altitude. You can see Poonch city across the border in Indian occupied Kashmir from here.there is snow here till the second week of June and even after melted snow, the weather is still cold at nights and mornings at all time of the year. so do bring a sweater or some warm clothes with you whenever you are visiting. The best time to visit this place is from Mid June to September. After that, the cold becomes quite unbearable and the fun ends. There is so much peace here. When you reach here the time slows down, you can leave all the worries of the world back where you came from and enjoy the tranquility and fresh air. the oxygen level is a little low here as it is a high altitude place but you will not going to find any more refreshing air then this place. Just lay down anywhere and breath in the fresh air with no noise to disturb here. there are also quite a large amount of horses are present here. these horses are wild and they roam around eating grass all day. the scenery with green grass, tall green trees, horses and fresh air brings people a sense of peace and relaxation. there is one government guest house with more under construction for tourists. Its a good place for hiking, biking, and fun. There is an army check post near the guest house. there are also some old bunkers from the war of independence from 1947 which are still intact and open for tourists to have a glimpse of the past glory. All in all, it will give you great joy and peace when you will visit this place. you just need to plan for 2 or more days to fully enjoy the trip.

10k feet above sea level

Lo & behold!

So here is one of the most popular place of my hometown. The name is Ganga Choti. The most important aspect of this beautiful & ancient hill top is that it is 10000 feet above sea level which is way too much. A beautiful piece of art by the nature. 

Ganga choti is located right above a village named as Bani Minhasan. From Islamabad it takes a 4 hour drive to a city named Bagh which is my hometown aswell. From Bagh it takes  40 minutes of drive on to the top of Ganga Choti. No hike required not even a 4x4 jeep is required to reach to the top. Your normal car can do the job easily. However, there is a 15 minute minor hike to reach to the top of Ganga choti & that’s it! You are 10000 feet above from the world!

A perfect place for family outings specifically in the winter season because the road is cleared & there the entire mountain & surroundings are covered up with white beautiful Snow. Here are some pictures of it in the summer season
