Day 2:
We had gained some knowledge about these lakes from a very good friend of us who had been to this place before. We knew that we were to turn right a small distance before Babusar Top. We knew that once we turn right, it is a jeep track which will take us deep into Gattidas Valley where we'll find two Lakes, First being Dharamsar and second being Sambaksar. Our team leader Arslan Bhai, found the perfect Jeep guy. Even though the jeep driver, Ghulam Mustafa, acted like he knew about these lakes and he said that he had driven another party to the same lakes last week, Arslan bhai inquired him about a few places like Satsar Mala, Saral Lake, and Dudipatsar Lake to confirm that he wasn't confusing our lakes with those. He charged us Rs 8000 to take us close to dharamsar from where we will trek for 15 minutes to dharamsar and then 1 hour trek for Sambaksar from Dharamsar. He had also committed to stay with us for the whole day, he will take us back to Naran as well.
We drove past Batakundi, Barawai, Jalkhad, Baisal, Lulusar Lake, Gattidas, and Gattidas Meadows. Just about 100 meters before Babusar Top, a jeep track turns downwards right which is a muddy track with a lot of rocks on the surface at some places. It is a beautiful valley with snowy peaks on the sides and lush green meadows, polo grounds, and water falls in between. This was the first time everybody in the jeep confessed that they were a little disappointed in what they had seen in Naran and now our disappointment had turned into joy. We had enjoyed our time in Naran as well, its just that our kind of people like to stay in wilderness where there are no city folks to pollute the lands. This was exactly the kind of place.
After about 1:30 minutes drive on this jeep track which ascends and descends at times, we reached a point where jeep left us and we trek for about 15 minutes to reach Dharamsar Lake.
