Exactly after an year, its time to pack bags & head to north where fairies are waiting… Time to march once again & this time, we are a group of eleven friends & this makes the journey even more exciting.

The extraordinary beauty of our north has always been an inspiration & it’s something like a “nasha”which keeps on igniting the fire inside of all of us. So, here we are, ready for a journey of our lifetime & waiting anxiously for August 26, 2016 which is our departure date.

The itinerary, this time is a bit different & we’ll be exploring a lot of valleys. The group is also diversified which hopefully will be a lot of fun. Our plan is of nine days from Islamabad to Islamabad & its all road travel.
