Assalam o Alikum
I'm planing to explore northern areas of Pakistan (Gilgit/Hunza/Skardu OR Kalash/Chitral) on public transport from Faisalabad. I only visited Naran/Kaghan valley on public transport once.
If anyone who had this experience and can guide me how i should make my plan for this and how much it will cost would be really appreciated.

Thanks

1. How many days of tour
2. How many peoples you are

[drnuman1]

You have 12 days I seen later but how many peoples

[arslan_ahmad14]

I actually have 3 week holidays but i want to spend there as much i can.. and at the moment we're two boys me and my friend there is a possibility that we can get another friend with us.

[drnuman1]

Less member more expense
More member less expense
Actually hotal cost would increase for two persons also if you hire a car or jeep it would also be more expensive

[arslan_ahmad14]

hmm.. can you give me an estimate for 3 persons ?

[drnuman1]

I suggest you to go for hunza and you rout should be as under
F/ absd..pindi
Pindi to naran stay naran 1 night
Naran book car/jeep up to chilas
Chilas public transport upto hunza
Stay krimabad explore karimabad visit altit and baltit fort visit eagle nest
Next day you have book car for China border

[arslan_ahmad14]

is it worth going to Khunjrab Pass ? as i heard there is nothing to see except that Gate Is there any other place where we can go ?

[arslan_ahmad14]

and off course thanks a lot for your expert advice.. i'll make a note of it and will be looking for more useful tips before i leave

It is not about the border, it is about the road which leads to that border, jaate hue jo maza aapko aaega is road pe wo maza kahen b nahin..

[drnuman1]

Khunjrab nai jana to hunza na jao asal cheez hunza ka autumn colour ha jo puri dunya ma kahin nahin aap gilgit sa nalter jao ghizer and Yasin valleys are words beautiful place on earth

[arslan_ahmad14]

one more question.. is it safe to travel these areas alone ? on public transport.

[drnuman1]

Quite safe

[arslan_ahmad14]

One of my friend is doing LLM and other one B.Com so they both got their exams date sheets so they might not come with me and i got this chance (a long holidays) after 2 years and don't want to spoil it

[arslan_ahmad14]

one of my friend just came back from Northern trip and he told me that locals will charge you 1200 for camping even if you got your own tent and other stuff.

[drnuman1]

You mean you remain alone

[arslan_ahmad14]

hahaha right
