It wasn’t just one moment, every moment was very memorable for me. But if I have to choose one then it would be when I went to Shugran and then Siri Paye above that and further on to Saif Ul Malook. I thought I was in heaven; it was such a beautiful place.

Finally, any tips for our readers who are planning a trip up north?

I want to tell them that winter is coming so definitely pack your warm clothes for when you are up there. Enjoy nature as much as you can and make every moment memorable. Also I want to share with you all that when I was going up there I saw many people drive up very harshly, please it is my humble request that drive slowly around those areas and take care of the environment around you. Keep it as clean as you can.
