3 days trip to #kumratvalley | #jahazbanda hiking
#JahazBanda is another paradise on earth and we are lucky to have it in Pakistan. To reach there, we traveled all the way up to Thal, near #KumratValley. Having spent a night in Kumrat, we started jeep track to Takai Banda. Takai Banda is a beautiful village at height of 8800 ft in #upper_dir district of KPK. Silence in the surroundings of Takai Banda stunned us for a while. We could hear the echo of our own voice there. Jeep dropped us there and we started trekking in the thick forest of pine trees. Difference of altitude in the start made us worried but we continued trekking for an hr in the forest and there came an open space then plain land, very beautiful and scenic. Having rest for a while there and taking some shots, we resumed our trekking and reached Jahaz Banda. It took 3 hrs to reach Jahaz Banda from Takai Banda. Jahaz Banda is situated 10400 ft above sea level. Weather remains too good when there is scorching heat in deserted lands of Punjab.
I advise, take minimum of the luggage with you while trekking anywhere in hilly areas because i wasn't able to walk continuously for more than 5 min due to the backpack hung on my back. Try to pick some porter or mules if available at Taki Banda or on the way.
