5-day Tour to Azad Kashmir by Batch-12
Report by Muhammad Jalal Khan
The vales of Kashmir have mesmerized poets and artists since a long time. This time we decided to see for ourselves this region of legendary beauty. On 12th October, 2011, we set out on our journey to Azad Kashmir.  The buses were an absolute horror story  but even that didn't dent our soaring spirits.
We set out, singing and dancing, savoring each and every moment.  Our first stop was Abbottabad where we had our lunch. By the time we reached Mansehra, the sunset was almost upon us, but the beam of our spirits burned ever brighter.
We spent the night in a luxurious hotel in Muzaffarabad, and set out towards Kutton in the morning. We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificence of the valley and the journey didn’t tire us at all. We spent the night there, and Sharda was our next destination. It was a heaven on Earth, with crystal blue water surrounded by hills and the landscape unpolluted… something of a rarity in this country.
After spending the night there, we journeyed towards Khel in the morning.  Some people told us to head to Arankhel, others insisted on seeing Tao Butt; we decided to go to Tao Butt, and everyone regretted that later as it was a tiresome voyage. The landscape, however, was so picturesque that it took our breaths away and made up for the long way.  After that, it was journey back home. All in all, Kashmir lived up to the hype that surrounds it.

 Narran: A 3-day tour by Batch-10 BCS


Report by Muhammad tayyab
Naran is a land so out of this world; you can't have enough of it no matter how many times you visit. On 17 October 2011, this land pulled us towards it again this autumn. The journey through dangerous mountains and narrow paths was exhilarating and thrilling but the reward lied at the end.. Lake Saif ul Malook was worth the risk, it’s a place one falls in love with instantly. We weren’t over with heat and humidity in plain area but there it was icy cold. Our comfortable abode in a local hotel, good food, hiking through the mountains and exploring the landscape was a wonderful experience. Overall, it was truly fascinating and refreshing.
