Adventure & Thrill
Initially the trip was planned for 6 days but it went to 8 days.The distance between Lahore and Hunza is almost 940 km which is not possible for us to travel in one go, so therefore we decided to have a night stay in Naran valley which is 618km approx from Lahore. Drive to Naran valley is about 14-15 hrs and my target was to reach there in daylight and to avoid driving at night on those dangerous curvy roads of Mansehra.

After continuous of four hours of drive on motorways m2 i started feeling tired & decided to take a short break of 15-20 mints and have a cup of tea on the road side shop. The journey from there to Abbottabad was smooth but after that the real adventure begins on the way you can see the Himalaya Mountains of Pakistan which started to emmerge in Abbottabad.

As i crossed the Abbottabad city the biggest challenge was waiting for me and it was a heavy thunder storm & rain which i struck through. In a weather like this is a very dangerous * challenging obstacle for driving because the roads were slippery , narrow, twisty and we were continuously climbing upwards & i have decided not to stop the car. I can feel the resistance & noise of tires as they were struggling & fighting. That noise frightened us all.You can see and feel it how difficult it would be for me to maintain the speed & control the car as i also barely see ahead.

Narrow,twisty & curvy road with sharp turns & the noise of rain hitting the car produces horrible sounds this all adds more thrill and adventure in our tour. A little mistake can lead us in to any disaster or we may end up in deep dyeing .

After 6 km of drive in thunderstorm & heavy rain we finally managed to came out safely. I was thankful to GOD for taking us out safely. It was about 8:00am and we all were hungry & tired so decided to have a breakfast at some safe place near by but for that we have to drive for 20 more minutes as you barely find restaurants on the hills.
