Alhamdolillah, we had a nice day outing to Naran.
We were 3 rigs with 11 people including children. Left around 5:30 in the morning. A breakfast stop at PTDC Balakot on the way, reached Naran by 12 mid day. Than it was straight onwards. Progress was slow due to lots of snow on road and oly a sinle track, so with each one of on coming vehicle one had to get off track and than rejoin. We made it to batakundi without snow chains, but than the incline beyond was difficult, and lots of effort needed despite putting snow chain due to deep snow. Eventually we were told by a local that a snow avalanche / landslide had blocked road up ahead. So we turned round and started return journey at around 5:30pm. Dinner stop on the way. Reached home safely by Mid night.
Pics coming up!
