Itinerary description
Hike detail :
Just like any other hike in margallas which are normaly easy walk if u are regular hiker good stamina & well prepared,
Landscape : it was one the most beautifull hikes around maragalla hills,
Trip Detail :
Started Hike at 5:10am +-
Start Location : Trail 3 (Fire Line)
Took a Headlamp along to use it for the 1st 1 hour as its winter & sunrises after 6:15 am,
there are 2 trails from "fire line" to reach "Monal Restaurent" one that passes through military checkpost at almost end of fire line 2nd 500 mtrs+- from checkpost turn left and the keep the trail slowly by ascending ,
(why I didn't wanted to pass military checkpost their is no problem at all but the time I would have been passing it would b dark & I didn't wanted extra attention and get stoped for some question as I had to go A LOng Way today & dnt want any fuss in the 1 hours)
From Trail 3 > Now Reached "Pir Sohawa RD"
now I took the road that is just beside "pir sohawa" & Leads to "gokina" by walking on the road to "Gokina town/village" I turned right toward my destination "33.7802331,73.0887828" once I reached this location , turn left to proceed your self for the "2nd Ridge" 2nd ridge is located in KPK Province, follow the tarmac & jeep Offraod Track till 2nd Ridge & continue it down till WayPoint 15 take this shortcut to reach down Stream crossing & made through dry farms to "Tarmac Road" continue it along the water stream until YOu will Reach " KAlabagh - Nathia Gali Rd"
From " Kalabagh - Nathia Gali RD" Continue it until reaching just couple of Metres before " GT rd - Jabbri' Turn LEft & Ascend up from this route "33.8321147,73.0777298" continue the offraod track till the top of "3rd Ridge" Take the right hand track to descend toward "Sokar Village" the track is clearly visible & toaly jeep offrad track till "Sokar Village"
From Sokar village head toward "Babutri Village" & the Same track will Lead you to this Point " 33.7988105,72.9800722 " where u can find a Suzuki car to get Ride till "Tarnawa" From Tarnawa you can get a public transport/coaster to "Taxila bypass" then Ride to "26 Stop/ Chabees Number" Rest upto you book uber/careem .
there are 2 3 more villages after babutri I m not mentioning them so we dnt get disturbed with a lot of names , from "sokar Village" you need to b on road all the way.
Disappointment & Precautions :
Getting LAte on time will write further soon !!! inshaallah
