The Journey to Saif-ul-Malook
Lake was breath taking and very dangerous even I’ll say most dangerous road I ever
travelled, it was 9 KM from Narran valley curved mud road and gaining height continuously.
Finally we were 16,000 ft above sea level and reached at Lake Saif-ul-Malook safe
and view was really like fairy land and we forget the fear that we faced due to
that 9 Km dangerous road from Narran to Lake. It was very cold there but warm
sun was there and it was amazing combination of hot and cold weather, really enjoyable.
There are two things mostly people do, one is boating and second there are
story teller who tells story about this lake and we also did the both.
There was BABA G who came to us and
asked if we want to know story about lake, and the story that is famous about
that lake is something like this “There was a Prince from Egypt named Saif-ul-Malook
who saw a Fairy named Badi-O-Jamal in his dreams and fall in love with her, and
he asked his father to that he want to go there and marry that Fairy, His
father told him that he can get her if he prayed for 1 year and after that he will
tell him the location of mountains where he saw hereafter one year his father
told that fairy Badi-O-Jamal lives in Koh-kaf the place of fairy land but
Badi-O-Jamal comes at a lake surrounded by Malaka e Parbat Mountain for taking
bath with her friends because this was very beautiful lake and much bigger at
that time than now. So prince decided to go there and get that fairy, he came
here and proposed that fairy and they were disappear in Narran Valley because
Human and Fairies were not allowed to marry so due to the fear of King of Koh-Kaf
they prayed to ALLAH that let them disappear in these mountains because they
were true lover so their pray was accepted ".
As were were taking tea and
listen BABA G' story and really were enjoying. But the most important and funny
thing about this story was, BABA G were looking at every one's cup of tea so
they short the story at every point to complete it, As I take last sip from cup
the story was over suddenly even we were expecting something more interesting happening
for end of this story, but it was end now.BABA G also told us that on 14 of
every Lunar month at midnight fairies come here for Bath still. But I did not
find any fairy there not any sign, but stories are stories we just enjoyed it.
Soon after that story we decided
to go back to hotel so after having some rest we can move to Murree in night because
only 1 day was left for our holiday. And we decided to leave for murree in night
and stay in Abbottabad city because from ahead road was dangerous and not safe
for travel in night. We reached at Hotel about 1 AM, and were really tired to
go to sleep. For next day i was exited but as well sad because next day was the
end of this adventure.... (To be continued)
