I didn't expect to find Pakistan

Real happiness comes after soul-soothing travelling. It keeps you reinvigorating against upcoming threats in a positive manner. An urge to travelling open the new doors of adorable experiences, meeting of new people and enjoying the creativity of the new place. A long trip towards shandoor and Kelash alley was a surprise trip with a bundle of experiences. The trip was itself a pack of surprises. Our journey started in the night under the light of shining stars, long road with full of energy. On the way, over the excitement of a long journey in midsummers make us little peckish, so we took a break at MacDonald, where we enjoyed some sort of snacks and a cold drink. That's was a lovely experience, everyone cherished and have eager to go to shandoor Valley. A valley having a worlds highest polo ground with a beautiful semantic lake. Anyhow. Our journey gets started again in a friendly environment. After a tiresome journey of crossing chillas valley. That valley keeps ostentatious specialities, having so much hard rock like a black magic mountain. It seems like that somebody erects then straightly and they are not allowed to bend or can't do to and fro movement just like soldiers without orders. Tremendous look deep in the valley where huge river Jhelum was flowing with Indus like a tributary. It looks small in size of the width, and it's like abruptly dancing between the Blackmagic mountains of chillas. 13 house of travelling made us restless and bring to Gilgit Valley. The weather was too among in sunny area and too cold under the shadow of the mountain. temperature conditions were so weird among mountains. The sunny time was unbearable. Then on the way, we took a little rest with tea and snacks in a restaurant. After a while, we started the journey again to the Gizher state of Gilgit with unexpected dream valleys and countless mesmerizing lakes. Finally, we reached the PTDC hotel where we put our belonging and laid on bed with tired and exhausted bodies. It was a hectic journey. Ghizer Valley is also known as a wonder Valley. A dream island is situated nearing to twenty minutes walk. For the sake of visiting the dream island., everyone needs to cross the locally constructed bridge. That's was highly risky for ignorant brats. After spending one night in Ghizer again we started our journey towards shandoor Valley. On the way, we captured so many memorable clicks, saw lakes, birds beauteous grassy lands, organic fruits and freshness of the air. Erstwhile, finally we reached shandoor Valley. A worlds top valley was well known for its polo Match. At this height, we observed so much hustle and bustle everywhere, dancers were dancing and encouraging their support teams. They came there to embrace their teams for winning the name of the year. The performances of players were remarkable. The beauty of the lake was so surprising. It seems like a tear among so strong pillars and these pillars are not ready to give it a way of out. It shows a beautiful connection between the lake and the mountain seems as they made for each other. The night is shandoor Valley is unforgettable. The day was too hot and the night was too cold that we were shivering with cold. After spending one night collecting lots of golden memories from shandoor we were heading towards Kelash valley by Chitral route. These travelling routes also very stunning, especially the way of entering Kelash stunned all of us, an extremely roaring river was always with us in a whole way. the Kelash valley was heaven valley with beautiful trees of walnuts, apples, peaches, raspberries and cherries, a mouthwatering deep-fried trout fish delighted us all. Kelash museum unfolds many historical backgrounds. Their inspirational sources of sacred places. The most stunning thing which I observed was that their girls were highly qualified like university students. I meet some doctor students too in the valley, but whey they come back to valley the women are restricted to wear their traditional dresses. This inspired all of us. Wes pend one night in Kelash.
