A tour was arranged for the Second Semester Students of Jinnah Institute of Medical Sciences, Peshawar. The tour spanned four days and three nights and it started with the students very excited about their trip to the Northern Areas of Pakistan, which would ultimately serve as a lifelong experience for them. It was decided that the first day of the trip would be to visit Tandyani, which is one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in the Galtat region. Bothered by the scorching heat of Peshawar, the students were enthralled to witness the cool weather and the awe-inspiring roadway to Tandyani. The first night was spent at Tandyani top and everyone was so satisfied with their experience. Day second started with the trip towards the valley of Kaghan and Naran from Abbottabad city. Everybody was so energetic about this trip as for most of the students it was the first time to experience the breathtaking sceneries of Kaghan and Naran. The route leading from Mansehra to the main bazaar of Naran was a real pleasure to go on. The continuously flowing river Kunhar alongside the road between the sky-touching mountains was a captivating scene to look at. The night at Naran bazaar had its own vibes. Until late in the night, people were busy wandering in the hustling and bustling bazaar of Naran. On the third day, the students were taken via Jeeps to see the jaw-dropping scenes of Saif-Ul-Malook lake. Even in the month of July, there were big glaciers all around the lake. Everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest and captured the beautiful views in their phones which will be reminiscent for them throughout their lives. After enjoying at the lake, the students were taken back to Abbottabad and when they reached this beautiful city, it was already night-time. After spending the night in Abbottabad, day four and the last day of the trip started with the plan to visit Nathia Gali, Dunga Gali, and Ayubia. In Ayubia the students made pictures with the newly discovered historical moto-tunnel and then started trekking on the 4km long pipeline track, which connects Ayubia to Dunga Gali. Pipeline track proved a charming experience for everyone and they determined to visit this place again and again. After that, the students had their lunch and with that, the tour came to its end. Indeed, this tour was one of the best experiences for everyone who was part of it and all were really thankful to God Who made this tour a perfect one and prevented any sort of tragic incident throughout the whole trip.
