Yar Faizan, in Jan of 2012 the Colonel in Rattu told me that they were about to start work on somewhat of a road (probably a more respectable jeep track) from Rattu to Shounter. Any news on that? That route is a serious avalanche zone.

This way to Shounter, good sir:

In the winter,

In the spring,

i asked people there they said army made the jeep track and it was destroyed in 2010 flood now again they are going to make a jeep track or tunnel in this area to connect astore with Shounter valley and i heard feasibility is almost complete hope for good

Absolutely and ultimately top-notch pictures Faizan. Thanks for sharing. Jeeping in from Kel, how long did you stay in Shounter for ? Did you happen to camp there or returned the same day ? Any idea how long and strenuous is the trekking over to Rattu in Astore from the point that you described in one of your pictures ? Is this area safe for camping or roaming around after sunset ?

I have been to Neelum valley last May but had to skip Shounter and made my way to Taobut as a short day trip. I am planning again to visit there but this time I'm looking for specific info on trekking from Astore to Shounter or from Astore to Minimarg to Taobut via Kamri Top. Heard there's special Army permission required for that. Gathering details and info these days. Would appreciate if you could share any. Hopefully I will be able to do this, inshaallah.

Brother, I know this much for sure that for Taobut Kamri Minimarg Burzil area you need permission from army. I have not visited that route myself but I want to do it. If you have any good links in the army, battalion in Kel or Rattu can be informed about your visit and you are good to go. I am still figuring out how to approach army. Which area exactly you plan to visit ? What's the plan ? How many persons ? You can inbox me if you want. I too am planning for it but army permission chahiye.
