Contests: Unique cultural experience
Hi Steemian
Today i am sharing my golden memories to visit hill station of khyber pakhtonkha called Shogran, its not less than fairy meadows.
I am very fond of travelling and explore nature.
Shogran is located in green plateu in beautiful Kagan valley, its about 2362 meters height from the sea level, northern Pakistan.
Birthday
Shogran is 34 km away from balakot, the track is really beautiful luch green trees and cool atmosphere fills my soul with calmness.
This is considered as one of visiting place for tourisms in June to August and temperature ranges from 20 o'c in the day and 3o'c in the night time.
I visited this heaven place on the 4th of July as my husband birthday 🎉 is also on this date.
We reached in Balakot, from there we booked a jeep for next journey, the way to shogran was only possible through jeep.
The track was not good going to up to shogran, but i was determined to see its beauty, the speciality of Shogren is siri and paye.
Horse Riding
We reached there at 9o' clock as we arrived there was lightly raining there, and the most beautiful thing i observed the whole valley was covered with mist and white clouds, for the first time i touched cloudy mist, i vanished in clouds, everything disappeared from the scenes, only I and cloudy mist surrounds me.
In siri there was a dense green lush mat of vegetation it was so clean that i can not explain in my words when i view it down i guess i am on the sky at high altitude.
The horse riding was common here, i just feeling freeze-like temperature, we booked a horse for a ride.
We started horse riding for one hour, enjoying the beauty of this valley at horse was remarkable.
There were people from all provinces there, we were all Pakistani there, complete cultural freedom was distinct.
What you wear there was no issue, everybody was enjoying with friends and family.
Food ordered by us
We ordered chips, pakoras, and tea as I was feeling cold. There were only snacks there was no food variety.
: We enjoyed our tea and snacks, it's our jeep time for going back to paye. We sat there and enjoy the beauty and weather for almost one hour.
We moved back to Balakot, there was one food cafe in shogran but there was so much rush we could not stay to order food.
We ordered food in Balakot traditional kabli pulao, Chappli Kabab with Chutney, i bought a cake for my husband's birthday, we cut the cake first and then enjoyed our food.
It was a lovely memorable journey.
On the way there was a sweet chilled water reservoir, i drank water from there, literally it was sweet and chilled, people mostly take water from there and called Chashma shifa.
