Hunza Valley
Last time it was Hunza Valley. It was month of August when i left for Hunza valley. Tour was decided in the month of July. I had long discussion with friend either to go with local transport or should we go on our own bikes. It was tough decision for my foes because almost of them never visited this long on 2 wheels.
We arranged meeting to finalize the things. We kept everything in our mind while discussing the a trip to Hunza Valley. I was the one with experience because prior to this trip, i had visited few places on bike. So i told them everything in detail advantages and disadvantages.
In the end we decided that we will visit Hunza our own bikes. There is one interesting thing that i would like to share with my followers. We were 12 in totals with 6 bikes and 4 of them were on honda 125cc and rest were on honda cd 70. I knew since very first day that it is going to be challenge to drag ourselves on 70cc to the peaks of Hunza Valley. But challenge was accepted. I also briefed everyone what sort of luggage they should have at their disposal throughout travelling.
It was getting difficult to wait for the big day as we were so enthusiastic for our destination and obviously main attraction was travel on bike throughout from Lahore to Hunza and even further.
At last big day came and everyone was at my house to start the journey. As i live on GT-Road so for the convenience of time saving we decided that everyone will be at my place. But we were 6 hours late from our scheduled time. Because my cousin had to come from Quetta for this tour and he was late for it. Anyways it is another story that can be discussed in another thread.
So at last we started our journey at 2 0 clock in afternoon instead of 8 o clock in the morning. It was outside and the humidity level was so high but we never felt it because of the enthusiasm that we had for our journey. We made another blunder, we did not hire any mechanic to take care of our bikes so we were on our own. For that mistake we felt first bolt when we reached Kamoke. One of our bike got punctured, although we had puncture kit but, but but we were scattered and few of us had reached to Gujranwala station.
Friend of us with puncture bike called me and said to me that i am going back. It was shocking for me at first because he did not say me any thing else. I asked him what is the reason, why you gonna go back then he told me my bike is punctured and you guys are running running and running. He had point soon i realized that we are not going as we should move.
I called everybody and told them to stay near Gujranwala. I asked my friend with puncture bike to come along with me and we will sort it out.
