North trip 2018 #PAKISTAN
North trip 2018:
((Trek towards basecamp))
Spending one night in deosai was always my dream. In previous 2 years, planned with some travel groups but got canceld.
This year, i didnt want to miss a chance so i started planning for (zindagi na mily gi dobara movie kind of) trip 3 months prior to the final date (yeah i was tht much excited 😁).
Discussing with friends, finalizing places, routes,searching hotel, bookings, rented vehical etc
When we told family n friends that we friends(girls) are plannig for this trip. Everone was like
My mother : I'm a kid with a kid 😃 If there something happend wrong etc etc.
Male friends: how u guys will manage alone(yeah 6 girls alone 😂). What will you do if your car make problems😂
I doubted our capibilties for a while too because the route was new for all of us even for the driver 😁
But okk yeahh let see what will happen(our thoughts)
And finally we packed our bags(with worried mothers instructions :D) n got away from home towards heaven ❤
Day 1: Islamabad to Naran (8 hours drive)

Rafting done in kunhar river
Day 2: Naran to Rama meadows astore (8 hours drive)
Night spent at ptdc rama(location of motel is in between the valley with pine trees around. Mesmerizing❤❤
No signals coverege
((Deosai Plain))
Day 3: Day for rama lake trek.
One n half hour from valley (half on jeep half on foot)
Lunch back at ptdc n left for tarshing village(3 hours drive)
Night spent at village hotel which was not top notch but with basic necessities so we survived
(Again no signal area)
Day 4: big day(trekking day to the rupal face basecamp of Nanga parbat)

Deosai spring was at its peak. There were pink purple yellow white flowers everywhere
Deosai plains are famous for brown bears habitate. But unfortunately nobody see brown bear without us. 😾
Night was clear with stars and milkyway so pictures were amazing.
We had barbque and bonefire and sang silly songs
Temp was too low and night was windy.freezing scene
