Its surmised height is around 8800 ft above ocean level. It is around 30 km, or a 45-minute drive, from Rawalakot in Azad Kashmir.the Charming climate with temperature going between 5 C to 12 C amid summers. If you want to visit and eat some quality food such as traditional and continental food you should visit http://www.akmeadows.pk its a restaurant and guest house of my friend with good hospitality and clean enviroment.

A great travel story Great blog Heather, I love the idea of celebrating world holiday traditions. One day you may want to try the Siberian tradition. In 1989, I did the polar freeze into the Ross Sea while working in Antarctica.... a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for not dropping the ice cream.
Hi! I may have to finish off the year with a freezing dip in the ocean! I'm looking forward to reading about your trip to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan! Do you have any favourite celebrations?
Enjoying your impressions We have not been to Russia yet but are beginning to do some research. I like that you are starting to incorporate a bit of history into your blogs so we better understand the people and the architecture. Local rituals and expectations are always interesting to hear about. Looking forward to reading more.
Photography It is hard to balance wanting to get a great shot and being respectful of what is going on around you. We need to be sensitive to these issues. You've have a wonderful knack of chatting with people and they share their stories. Very nice. I love that.
Hello! Hi, thank you for taking the time to read my blog! I love the photos you have of California, and am reading through your blog. The Bohemian Highway looks so beautiful that I will have to go one day!
Hello Heather I stumbled onto your blogs today and have enjoyed reading about your trip. Love the conversations and your impressions. Hope you will add more photos. I enjoy your longer blogs over your shorter ones. What a great experience. Happy travels.
Did you ever read the Endless Steppe by Esther something of other deeply cold winters and boiling summers that's how I think of Siberia - perhaps you are in the taiger bit which would account for the forests.
Embarking on a year of travel-less exploring.
I will be filling my 2017 with different traditions and celebrations from around the world. Every day will be a mini-adventure into a new culture for me.
If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations for future celebrations, please let me know! message me here or tweet me @fighiggins
