It was a normal day going to my study place when weather suddenly swings it's mood, sun got vanished and sky got covered with clouds. Here my mind hits for the idea to travel to northern areas of the country. I share my plan with the friends and that's it we ready for the trip. 19-Nov-18 was the day when we left Lahore for the Naran-Kaghan. We decide to use local train services rather than our own transport. The idea behind going on train was to enjoy the whole trip as one unit rather than been divided into two cars and getting separated. We reached the rawalpindi station on early morning the whole journey in train was quite remarkable as we enjoyed the songs, beautiful tea and who can forget my own mimicries. Now it's time to have a breakfast and surprisingly we got a chance to eat one of the best Aalo paratha there which was soo good that we even take a few with us to eat them later. We rented a bus from there as railway doesn't have access to our destination place and once again the journey begins. As we are getting closer to destination and getting altitude the scenes around was becoming fabulous. After covering almost half distance towards a destination we took a brake and had something to eat which includes some special vegetable mixed samosas. We started the journey again and after three hours travelling we reached river kunhar. Wow what a great scene it was remarkable. All our tiredness gone away when we dipped our feet in the cold flowing river water at the bank of river kunhar. Having a cup of tea with cool breezing at this beautiful spot was tremendous. Anyone from us didn't want to leave this place but unfortunately we have to go to reach the destination which was not too far now. Now after a more travelling of two hours and passing by beautiful green and hilly mountains we reached the destination. Here the first task is to get our hotel rooms booked as they was not pre-booked. So after little struggle we find the rooms according to our requirements and budget. Know it's time to go out and have some food. Searching for the food we come to know the best chicken karahi of the town and as we heared about it's taste was soo good we find it hundred percent true. After having karahi we tried special local tea which have ginger and almond powder as special ingredient. We walked down the town and visited the local shops for some shopping I purchased special shawl which was handmade showing the culture of the town. Next day early morning we get ready and left for the babusar top on local transport which was specially design for the route as it was steep and full of hurdles. Enroute to the top the sights was amazing. I can't even imagine these sites in my urban life.The beautiful goats enjoying in the meadows and mules having fun with childs was just remarkable. These sights was really worth watching . In depth of these sights we reached the babusar top , Oh god it was too cold there. The wind is blowing with such great intensity that we cant keep our hands outside the gloves. We were having cold breezes but the sight was still pictured in mind.We have pakoras to eat there and we took some pictures there and left for the ansooo lake. Ansoo lake was another mesmerizing place to watch we hiked almost 5 hours to go there. Hiking had it's own amusment as we were never been through these tough rocky terrins. After a lot of stuggle we reached the lake and what we looked there made us feel realxed such that we forgot our tiredness. We spent two hours there watching the beautiful green colored water of the lake. Unfortunately but it's a time to go back and finish our tremendous trip. I still can't forget those days of my life and beauty of Naran-Kaghan and wanted to go there anytime I get a chance.
