Part 1 Part 2
After the lake it took us around 2.5 hours to reach Lalazar. It is place of flower scapes and i havn't seen so many flowers in my whole life. Unfortunately when i was reaching there my memory card was full and my battery died :rolleyes and was not able to shoot those flowers while on my way back.:cry

Here is Picture of Naran Valley early in the morning when sun was rising.
One as to reach Naran valley to go Lalazar he can hire a jeep from there.

People usually do little harvesting for livings

Then Jeep takes a turn on very dusty and extremely dangerous track ! this track will actually take us to Lalazar. Only one jeep can go through at a time.

    Ooh!

    Those areas where they are farming, are those rice patties?

    Jeep trekking really really does look fun! Good stuff, Awais!

    As usual. Gorgeous!

    #1 and #7 are my favourite. In #1 there is such nice transition in colour.clap.gif

    Except for the terraced slopes and architecture, this looks just like Colorado in the states, small world after all.

    Awais: #1 is simply amazing! You should at least make a postcard/business card of it, including the watermark, it just makes a perfect calling card for your work!

    I also love the Mercedes emblem on the red jeep...as if that makes his jeep somehow 'better'. rolleyes1.gif

    Great landscapes amigo. Got any faces to post? I could stare at pictures of Pakistan all day--it brings back so many pleasant memories of such a friendly people. What overland traveler can ever forget the hospitality?
