Kaghan Valley

In the NWFP's Hazara district south of Diamir is the 160km-long Kaghan Valley formed by the Kunhar River. The region is renowned for its pine forests, alpine lakes and vast meadows nestled among 4000-5000m peaks. The highest peak in the Kaghan Valley is Malika Parbat (5290m). Peaks in this area are rarely visited by climbers making it an ideal location for those looking to undertake smaller ascents. Spot's such as Chitta Katha Lake are popular with Punjabis however and those looking for tranquillity in such spots should avoid visiting at weekends or during the main summer months.

At the valley's head is the Babusar Pass (4175m) which drops down to the small town of Chilas. The pass marks the NWFP's border with the Northern area. This is an rugged, alternative way to travel between the Northern Areas and Islamabad/Rawalpindi. There is no public transport north of the village of Naran and a Jeep must be hired to cross the pass. The Babusar pass regularly blocks, particular after heavy rainfall. There are also a number of good treks in the region, some of which cross in to the AJK province and back.

Samsung S Cloud Spotted Running on Galaxy Note 2

Since we all heard rumors that Samsung is planning to launch a service called S Cloud which would obviously compete with iCloud.
So, at IFA 2012, Samsung has put these rumors weight by giving the very first image of this cloud service working on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Although it is apparent that Samsung has yet to confirm its existence but a German Blog was lucky to experience the functionality of S Cloud by going into settings Galaxy Note 2.
More interestingly, the S Cloud currently seems to be a shell for Dropbox, which makes the S Cloud in collaboration with the popular file-distribution applications.
For now, it seems that the data is going onto the Dropbox servers, but it is supposed to change as by moving the data to Samsung’s own servers. If S cloud arrives with similar dropbox functionality then it will be able to sync pictures, movies and documents into the cloud.
Reportedly, the S Cloud option will be enabled on the Galaxy S III too once it gets up to 4.1 Jelly Bean.
There’s also a rumor that S Cloud might arrives with its own email service but it has not been confirmed yet. The S Cloud is likely to be announced in October and would be available to computers, tablets as well as Smart TVs.
