Assalam o Alaikum (Hello) (Hola) to you all Steemian fellows! I hope you all will be good and enjoying your life. I am here after some time as there were some official duty which I had to perform as Tax Consultant. But Happily, Now I am back here. Today, I'll be sharing my three day official trip to Kashmir with my friends and colleague. I hope you all will taste some beauty from the heaven on earth. Let me start in detail,

Planning and organising:

So, This was once a year an official trip to any part of Pakistan from our office in which almost every person is allowed to join and enjoy the beauty of our country Pakistan. This was my first as previous year it was cancelled due to covid situation. This time we arranged it with the consent of a representative from every department of the office and finally the choice was made, which was Neelum Valley Azad Kashmir. After every arrangement was made, the travel was about to begin at 1 am in the night so, we can reach on time to every location the travel guides have arranged for us.

Starting:

First we all met at the office and enjoy our time by playing cards and chilling with each other till the remaining boys arrived. This was the first experience as an informal gathering of all our collogues, so enjoyed a lot. The Coaster arrived around 12:30am and we are asked to put all our stuff in there. After that we all had to confirm whether our stuff are enough for our trip and whether we had taken all the bags etc. Following a confirm call, all our luggage bags were loaded in the bus and we took our hands bags along.And we started our journey at 1 am. By the start everyone was so excited. And we started chit chat within our friends and we were enjoying and laughing so hard that every other guy wanted to sit with us and join the fun moments. At last we had to sit like in circle that everyone gets involved in the conversation with some slow music in the background.

Travelling and Travelling:

After 2 am we had to take some rest so we can remain fresh in the morning while we reach our spots. The driver was asked to switch off the lights so everyone can get some sleep. But still most of the guys were kept talking and only a few were sleeping at that time. After some time I fell asleep but it was a short span of sleep as after an hour we had to stop at a Mosque to offer Fajar. That was a very refreshing moment when we offered the prayer and were coming back to our vehicle. The journey started again and now most of us were sleepy and fell asleep easily than before. And the scenes on the Bus were like these.Around 8 am we stopped somewhere to have our breakfast. There was no such big or huge type of hotels but some very old and very small hotels, where when we sit, there was no place for anyone else other than our trip fellows. we had our breakfast there, and started our journey again.

Reaching Kashmir:

There was our first tourist spot to see which was the "Kundal shahi waterfall". That was some huge things as the speed of water was so high and the sound was mesmerizing as well as scary at the same time. We took a break there and enjoyed for sometime until we left for our next destination.We left for Khel which was our next destination for today and we had to stay there in a top mountain area so we had to move fast and reach there before the sun light fade away as we had to hike for about 45 minutes there.

There started the views that Kashmir in general is famous for. Beautiful green mountains with some very beautiful constructions over there. I have to share only some glimpses as there are more places to come, so the diary is going to be a huge one.

After a long travel we reached khel at about 2 Pm. When we reached khel, we had to park our vehicle there and hike for 10 minutes to reach a the chair lift, which had to take us to the mountain on which Arang khel was located. The views in the first ten minutes hike was so beautiful. We enjoyed every moment of that place.After reaching the chair lift area, we had to wait for turn as there were already so many people waiting for their turn. But when you are with your friends you can enjoy anywhere so, waiting there was not even a problem.And when we get up the place where the chair lift has starts, we had to wait again but that's not even a problem :).After reaching the other side by chair lift. There comes the main thing, a hike for about 45 minutes and that's also a very steep one than those I have done before. I was quite good as I've done hiking before but 3 friends of mine were unable to move for 5 minutes at once. They had to take a break every 3 minutes. That was tough indeed but had to go through that and there were no other alternate and the funny part was, No one could ask for a cancellation of the plan as our guest house was up on the top of the mountain to which we had to hike.

Arangkhel:

After a hike of a long 45 minutes, we reached at the top and took some breath of relief as we had to spend night there and will have to go back the next morning. Yes, the hike was tiresome but when we saw the view up there in the Arangkhel, in just a few seconds we forgot our tiredness because the beauty was unreal. I have seen so many places but that was something else. This click may show how I feel at that time. At that time it was about sunset and every single minute there was so amazing that I really couldn't express it here. You can just see the picture to understand our situation of that time.With every minute passing, the cold breeze warn us to wear something warm as the weather there was changing in a short span of time and were about to start raining. I had to put something warm to stand out there with my friends for some more time.After taking some photographs, we moved to check in our rooms and enjoy a cup of hot tea in that cold weather. Our Guest house was also looking so good that I couldn't resist myself from taking a picture of it. This was all wooden made and was so attractive that we sit in its balcony for hours to enjoy the view and some hot tea.At that time, the rain started and the weather gets worse to be outside the room, so we get back to our rooms and all our friends gathered in our room even when they were having there rooms, to play cards and enjoy the gathering. After having our dinner some guys were so tired that they went to get some sleep but my group was all there and we while playing cards enjoyed some music with another cup of tea. And at the meanwhile, someone informed us that the rain has stopped and we can move outside for some bonfire. That was another awaiting moment.There we shared some more memorable moments and the gathering was worth sitting in. The music the chit chat, the friendship stories hmm, everything was so amazing. At 2 am I had to go and sleep as we had to wake up early for our next destination. and the scenes in our room was like this lol.To be continued...Thank you for reading till the last! I hope it was worth reading and watching :). Part two coming soon InshaAllah.
