  • Enjoy the serenity and the pleasant weather here at the hem of this peak. Post this, you will be taken towards the border area to see Pakistan. You can see Pakistan army posts. A few minutes of a walk up will take you to a vantage point from where you will see the village settlement of Pakistan. You will come back to Dawar Gurez by lunchtime.
  • Take your lunch and post that your guide will take you to Khandiyal Top. This top gives you a panoramic view of the entire Dawar area. You see the beautiful dam, mountain ranges, gurez villages, and the army posts of Pakistan and India.
