It was nice meeting you yesterday. The water crossing being discussed is a 13-14 KM drive from Shindoor pass towards Mastuj and it was literally dry at 6:45 PM which was strange since we observed compartively more glaciers in Gitidas compared to last 2 years. Anyways, we found a small bridge made by the locals on that water using Safiad wood & stones this year, I hope it stays there.
I think the toughest part of this expedition would be the climb from Lulusar till Babusar, reason for this is the more glaciers in Gitidas & Naran valley. At 8:00 PM the water was flowing on the track and it was muddy, skidy and bumpy & there were 2 water crossing which had significant water flow and entry to the water was also technical, side ways climb approach would be helpful. Also from safety perspective the area from Jalkhad, Babusar till Raikot should be crossed in one go with minimum stops.
There are some fresh road streches on KKH made by chinese of about 20 KMs, Billo deserves a picture near Jaglot on fresh KKH having Nanga Parbat in background, try to reach there in day-light
