Very goods picture. I like your all snaps. I remember my old days. i am become your one of the biggest fan after seeing the picture of your trips
Ash 23-Apr-2008 07:38
Dear SubhaNoor
Its not difficult to get there. You can go to skardu by air. its only a 45 mins flight from islamabad with beautiful views of the mountains. flight goes everyday unless the weather conditions are bad. The place is also accessible by road from islamabad but that is very tedious as it takes 20 hours of non stop driving and i would definetly not recomend that. [ i tried it and its beautiful but very tiring]. do visit it is really heaven on earth. but go now as teh best time to visit these ares is April to september.[ I went in October and the weather gets really unpredictable then so it may caus eproblems] all teh best
subhanoor 10-Mar-2008 06:41
i like this place alot and i wish to go there.but i dont know how to go there. can u plz guied me. i will be thank full to u..........................plz
Waqas Usman13-Oct-2006 02:19
Salam Usman,
Thanks for the comments. Where do you live these days? You MUST take some time out to visit the Northern Pakistan in summer :) I'm a regular visitor of the North, and I'm more interested in taking scenic shots rather than the ordinary person's, "Yaar take my photo".
Usman Azam 12-Oct-2006 01:16

Waqas Usman12-Sep-2006 02:53
Wa Alaikum Assalam Mustafa,
Thanks for your comment, you're right, it was great fun, and you have the right to be jealous :)
You should make some plan for next summer... I know the percentage of Karachiites who visit Northern Areas is much lower than the percentage of (say) Lahorites, partially because of the extra 1000+km distance, but still there are many who visit the Northern Areas regularly.
Mustafa Saleem 11-Sep-2006 21:45
Assalam o allikum ,
Usman bhai i m getting jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love northern areas but because of under age i don't get permission to visit these gr8 places with my friends........Look dat u'd really enjoyed a lot!!!!!
Allah Hafiz (Frm karachi)
