by Prashant Sharma When you have a penchant for long drives and the need to get away from things every few months, you find yourself burning the tarmac in different directions ever so often.

by Farhan Zaidi Majestic, nearly vertical rocky cliffs surrounding a rich green valley, a multitude of waterfalls streaming in from the snow capped peaks, millennia old Giant Sequoia trees unmatched in their stature and girth, clear blue lakes continuously drinking fresh water from the melted ice and nature still untouched by human progress attract thousands of avid rock climbers, hikers,

by Mehmi Sarfraz photos courtesy Farhan Zaidi The plan to go to Islamabad was hatched on the spur of the moment when Zaheer announced that he is bored and therefore would like to go on a long drive (his idea of a long drive also included an overnight stay).
