Re: Places you wish to visit..
i went there in 2007. and no, byal camp is on fairy meadows side. its the next stop from meadows towards nangaparbat, we stayed 2 nights in byal camp. hamray guid nay btaya tha k jisko log “base camp” kehtay hain is side par, its no more base camp, pehlay kisi zamanay main hota tha. and by the way our guide was same old “shakoor lala” of chacha ji’s fairy meadows trip
talking about horses, you are right its double the risk, i’ve seen two such cases. hamaray group main aik uncle ghoray par thay, ghora slip huwa, uncle neechay, aur ghora unkay ooper : D wo to shukar hay k khaaii wali side par nahi slip huwa warna dono khaaii main hotay. another case was when coming back from aansoo lake, ghora snow main dhass gya upto knees!
