- Kalāla
Kalāla is situated in the
North-West Frontier Province ofPakistan . A car journey from the capital Islamabad should take no longer than 3 hours.A steady drive through the mountainous terrain of Muree, Past Pearl Continental Bhurban, passing the famous Malkote Chowk at
Ossia . Another few minutes brings you to a traditional shopping precinct of Dayval. The mountains across the valley facing you are ofAbbottabad , where you find idyllic places such asAyubia . Back on route you passBirote ,Treemotia and then onto the lawless village ofBasia . You will have now entered into the North Frontier province, in fact at Dayval you leave Punjab and enter the NWFP.You approach what I can only describe as a cross road with one turning back on itself towards Kohala Bridge. Kalala is a small village neighbouring the famous bridge of Kohala. It does fall into the grater village of Basian, this particular village being in Lower Basian.
The village is inhabited by
Abbasi families as is much of the surrounding area. The journey to mainMurree is one of approximately 1 hour.A truly beautiful location with in modest reach of
Muzaffarabad .References
