Islamabad to Mansehra:
We started our journey by boarding a bus at night near about 6 O'clock from Islamabad to the city Mansehra (district in the eastern part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province).We traveled for 5 hours to about 160 km to the east.The weather was cold and wet.There was a traffic jam at our route that's why it takes extra time to reach there and we were there at 11 O'clock.But the total time it takes to travel there is maximum 3 hours,according to google map.
Best season to visit Mansehra:
According to my personal experience the suitable season to visit the northern areas are the months of April and May because the weather in these days is so pleasant in Northern areas.
Accommodation Expenses:
After we reached at Mansehra bus station we decided to have a dinner as it's so difficult to travel with an empty belly.Our next plan was to secure a comfortable accommodation which was not so far from the hotel, where we had our supper.After a small walk we reached at the hotel.We had a look at the rooms and checked into one of the room with 3 beds.The rooms were well managed and were not so expensive.We made a little gossip and fell asleep.So our first day of tour came to an end.
First Morning at Mansehra:
We woke up and after getting ready we head up towards the main market, where the mouth watering Dish with a local taste beef kabab was waiting anxiously for us.We ate up-to our appetite and move towards market for shopping.After buying some traditional goods we came back to our hotel and packed our luggage.
