But what if sometime one absences to run into open privacies, intoaimlessness, into the moral vacation of running some pure peril, inorder to sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to becompelled to work desperately for a moment at no material what? Thatmight be the reason for my once deciding to go back from Murree toKakul cross-country.
Walking a series of mounds along the ridge between Murree andAbbottabad namely the way apt penetrate the green mountain glen, as it requiresto be seen. Murree namely over 2,200 meters upon sea level whereasAbbottabad lies by the height of 1200 meters therefore wading 70kilometres downhill from Murree to Abbottabad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even cross country,should be one cozy option. But it is not. The outlines, those thin,maroon lines aboard maps of the area are not simple to negotiate ashore ground.That is what I found during my zigzagging forward the contours.
Most hard essence travellers, particularly aliens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], come up with somedaisy role who came "offering them hashish, heroin, sledge, orsomething even more peculiar while they jot approximately their travelexperiences in Pakistan, perhaps in an exertion to make their tales richin venture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], absurdity and humour. Or they tell harrowing tales liketheir belongings stolen on pistol point. Maybe they consider this makestheir stories culturally more erudite. But in this quite touristy area(and even during my additional long hauls somewhere), what I could comeacross are numerous bounties from whichever object merely mediocre human. I wasoverwhelmed at the attention I was shown during my cross countrywalk by a humble and hospitable local Malik Nawab Khan, an ex serviceman, who attempted me food. His home was in a deadbeat place, cluster ofa few houses on my way and away from whichever where. Exhausted, and wantingto rest my feet we stable for tea. That was one of the best and muchneeded peppery glasses of peppery tea (with solid boiled egg) namely I took. Hehad told me to keep a lemon and suck on it meantime walking hard and longin hills. It gives strength and quenches boost. He too said, "Tirethe mountain not yourself." I realize the folk sagacity in the advicesevery time I walk. And we still are in communication with every other.Malik Nawab remains dissimilar cause for me to visit the area morefrequently.
Apart from weird looking ruins of Murree Brewery (shifted to Rawalpindilong antecedent), there is an Ecology Centre that was established in 1960 toexperiment with surroundings friendly agricultural processes such asgreenhouses to grow winter crops. Although fruit and vegetables areimportant crops at the Centre but this college has playedsignificant role in the fashion farming through its work oncereal oxidize. The site was specially chose after a thorough surveyby Canadian team of specialists that visited Gilgit, Chitral, Swat, Kaghanand Azad Kashmir. The Centre has done some considerable work to extendthe carrying capacity of the land. Other than this, economic of thearea is predominantly agricultural whereas land holdings are small. Orlocals have some openings in tourism industry that is still in theinitial stages of evolution.
In adding to sunsets and cloud effects seen everyday during the rainsand good climate, trekking or riding in the chair-lifts are Murree'smain pastimes. But one can rotate the soft jaunt into a dauntingexperience in the label of adventure. Who stops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Like for more daringtypes and those who want to buffet the mobs and still enjoy the greenenvirons of Murree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the best is to explore the circling areas.There are many defined walking tracks in adjoining country that iswell wooded and its scenery attractive: from Islamabad to Tret, fromTret to Ghora Gali (where "dak" horses used to change during Britishera), from Ghora Gali to Murree, from Murree to Barian and ChanglaGali with Swar Gali and Khaira Gali in between and from Changala Galito Nathia Gali through Ayubia and Dunga Gali. From Nathiagali a commontrekking route is to Thandiani with an overnight stay in the way.
Hunger as ecology becomes extra intense as one sees pristine wildernessturning into a scarce commodity. Revisiting a location favor Murree doesnot put me off. - I detect a current and elemental angle every time! I adore it every time.
Murree Maneuvers
Experience to hill station Murree can be a merged bag. It is popularfor chilly pine jungles, amidst magnificent mountain scenery that makeit a premier alternative for a day's excursion or solemn hill walking. It iscommon with locals throughout the country as well as foreigners innearby Islamabad on the run from the sweltering heat of plains insummer. And in summers it is compact like a cinema auditorium some time.This archetypal hill station is prominent for other asset too: It is aconvenient political pawn to keep the consistent and or hideout for foreigndignitaries on their way to hidden strategic tasks elsewhere.
In the Himalayan foothills Murree -- known as Malika-e-Kohsar meaningthe queen of hills -- was founded as a hill station by the British in1851. Like other cities set up by the British, the town has the Mallfor promenading, parks, churches, schools, unions and abundance of othercrumbling colonist beauties. Remember, during British rule, way tothe Mall was restricted for locals. After independence Murree has onceagain transform the summer retreat of the government and since Islamabadbecame the capital of Pakistan in 1962, has amplified quickly. There isa leader house, other administration houses and summer homes of affluentclass from all overthe country. The residences are built on thesummit and sides of an random ridge, and directive stately viewsover forest-clad hills and deep valleys, studded with villages andcultivated fields, with snow-covered pinnacles of Kashmir in background.
First it is a climb. I felt comfortable and lukewarm but every now andthen I had to go a mini down too and then "sweat became a fridge." Inever got lukewarm anew. It became presently clear that I could not walkstraight. So I determined to reside at Nathiagalli. Next day, I still hadcold feet but from there on it went down quick and did make it in theevening. Now I have forgotten the agony of carrying the heaviness of mypack zero eight but till today I have been capable to preserve thefeeling stirred by encounter with natural beauty in the way. The wildflowers were big and grass green. It was all very silent. I felt thetrue elite of a place, for seeing without emotion can obviously beuncaring; while feeling without seeing tin be blind.
Walking collateral to Khanpur, at the base of a visibly used pathway ina small bowl like gorge one finds a warning sign posted by some NGOconcerned with maintenance of wildlife and nature. "Save theWildlife,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," it advises. Beneath the images of the another birds foundin the area, independent visitors had scrawled their names and something had written his own impromptu remarks that reads, "Wish you werehere with me." Very apt! In the way, you also see stacks of animalfodder to be used in winters, villagers coming down the hillsfollowing donkey fraught with dried lumber or pruning of trees and an axehanging on side,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or carrying the load on heads for use as bombard lumber,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],or a rabbit frolicking on the grass, perhaps a rat. Or you come acrossred cheeked and friendly kids inquiring for pencils, their faces bathedin truce. The peace and serenity in the area has a amazing effecton the nerves.
Murree town spreads along the altitude of a ridge for about fivekilometres. At the north-east end is Kashmir Point, with views acrossthe ravine of the Jhelum River into Azad Kashmir. At the south-westend is Pindi Point, looking back towards Rawalpindi and Islamabad.Between the 2 escapes scampers the Mall, at the median of which is the mainshopping area, where visitors flock. Most outstanding rendezvous inthe town is General Post Office on the Mall.
Though sometime out of compulsion, I have been walking on Murree-Kakul (Abbottabad) route fhardly evermetime. During training in Military AcademyKakul, even fun trips to Murree customarily secondhand to be converted in awalk with huge packs (pack point zero eight) instead of trendy andlight backpacks on the back. Out of twenty 6 items, from needle toblanket to venom antidotes, one was conceived to keep in the packs onlymap and compasses were profitable. Rest used to look like an joined loadabout as serviceable watery matches during rain?
