Abbottabad is developing really fast man! wow !

I like it. The city lookes so peaceful.

It's not dusty...it rains quite a bit...I like it!

This city is wiped out from what i hear now?

i dnt think so. i havent heard or seen anything in the news tht there has been significant damaga in mabbotabad like muzzafaarabad and balakot

Thats good news!

I know Cntower was in that area, maybe he can clear this up.

Wow man abbottabad is beautiful, plus its got nice roads n buildings!!!!! :runaway:

dont some of the pics remind you of a nice small english village? i think there are still some 'goray' who live there since the empire..hence the churches

Wow! never knew Abbotabad was so developed! Nice city!

Yeah i went back to some of our old threads and i must say our quality has decreased.

And yes this has a lot to do with the thread because i am complimenting the effort. So no more disscussion on that.

Yeah i went back to some of our old threads and i must say our quality has decreased


Does anybody know what you are talking about?

The post is really self explanatory!

Its true go back to some of the old threads and you can see for yourself.

If you want to discuss participation and quality of threads, I dont think this is the right thread to do so. Being a Mod, you should have known this better instead of me telling you this.

abbotabad was not harmed in the earthquake. only a few buildings actually crumbled.

Salam,

I am trying to find pictures of Abbottabad - my original hometown and a tourist spot - and putting it here for members to see how beautiful and peaceful some cities of Pakistan are.

Some pictures have already been posted. If any body finds a picture of Abbottabad that have not been posted, PLEASE POST IT HERE. It would be a great collection.

SPONSOR PICTURES:

Moreover, if anybody is going to Abbottabad or that side recently, i would love for you to get a lot of pictures of this beautiful valley. I would wanna know how much does it cost in Pakistan to develop pictures on a camera. I am willing to finance developing 10-1000 pictures of Abbottabad + basic expenses of a moderate trip to Abbottabad, (if the cost of developing per picture is not too much.) I would really love some good pictures of Abbottabad. ($$ is going to have to be in U.S dollars, since i dont have any rupree account.)

Peace.

ill post some pictures soon...infact ill take all the pictures once we have a good number from here and post them in the cityscapes and skyline photo threrad too :)

Salam,

Very cool. I couldn't find a lot of pictures of this town. I think, we need some body to have a detailed search. Moreover, i hope somebody takes my offer and plans a vacation to Abbottabad.

Peace.

as i promised merijaanpakistan piks of abbottabad ...there arent that many but i hope this will do for the moment ...i will be posting more later....

Salam,
You should see Burn Hall...it's HUGE!
Burn Hall is a great institution. I am a Hallian. I was in Junior in 4th grade.... all the way up to FSc from Burn Hall. If i can remember any thing perfectly in Pakistan, its Burn Hall.

I feel like crying now, cntower... :)

Peace.

Damn merijanpakistan what a friggin coincidence....I've lived in Abbottabad for three years. My dad was CI (Chief Instructor) at Frontier Force Centre when he was Lt. Col. We had a house on main Kakul Road...my brother also studied in Burn Hall.
This is weird man...but probably I know you....we were there from 1985-1988. What about you?

:) Thats cool. I know Kakul Road... lived on it for 2 years. Our ancestorial houses are in Kunj Ground area. Our own house in on Pine View Road. It has been empty for years now....! :)

Dad was posted in Abbottabad (our hometown :) ) twice in a row... from 1990- ~1996. I came to America earlier and the house remained empty...!

My life story..... :) (on the net now...)

Regarding your father's stay there, i think FF Center up there is beautiful. The Mess is huge and very sophisticatedly British. I am pretty sure you guys enjoyed your stay there...! I am a Hallian from 4th. Too bad couldn't go there from Prep.

Very nice to know you,

Peace.

Nice to have 'met' you too merijanpakistan.

Cantonment area of Abbottabad is still very British. The European bungalows, the club, the church and cemetery are still there. Abbottabad is an hour's drive from Nathia Gali, the summer capital of the NWFP, which is from Nathia Gali to Abbottabad is about 34 km dropping steeply through the beautiful valleys with few trees to the river bed.

Yaar, blame the PTDC morons who tried to get me from Saidu Sharif to Shogran in one day!:nuts:

And that too with the knowledge that the bridge near shogran was knocked out. They didnt even notify me!:bash:

We were lucky that the FWO got working and they let us cross even though it was supposed to be opened the next day.

We were the first ones accross though:banana:

Abbottabad is so nice I would not mind owning a home there.

^You must have lot of mulla!:)

Good for ya!

Pakia sahib!

Please, no personal details, Maunala fazlu is looking for me and your information could have proven valuable to him.:lol:

And yes, if I did buy in Abbottabad it would probably be from the money I earned from my lands in Seetpur. I am also planning to leave the US once all my education is completed.

Salam,

Red aRRow, you are right.... u know FF Mess at Abbottabad is one of the most beautiful landmarks of British era... and the ammount of effort and money that has been put into restoring it is appreciable. I was there when they were doing it. The Brigadier's house is right next door to it, so he made sure every thing is done "perfectly". It has been preserved in its originality.

Seld Edited: under Garbage Control Act.

Peace.

Zain sahib, do you remember the pictures that you took atop "shimla pahari". The road that goes to that spot... Pine View road is where my place is. :) Its a beautiful area to get a land and build something.... full of pine trees... but a bit expensive I heard, from the rest of the city. The area next to PMA Kakul - Jinnahabad - is also an excellent place to build a house.... a good planning for a hilly area. Zain sahib, many many X-army officers buy land at Abbottabad and settle there permanently... remembering their old days. Its one of the specialities of the city.

Peace.
I am sure it is going to cost me a crap load but the city is amazing. One of my favorite cities in Pakistan.:)

Seriously, when I was coming home from Balakot, we needed to make a stop in Abbottabad for dinner before we went out for the late night journey to Ayubia. As soon as we got into Abbottabad the place just gave me these great vibes and it felt like I was just somewhere new. A heard that Ayub tried to build the capital in Abottabad but the locals would not give the land for it.

btw where is seetpur?? :|

btw where is seetpur?? :|
Close to where the 5 rivers of Punjab meet at the head.

Wonderful Abbottabad !

The mountain terrain is terrific !! I thought the Summer Capital of Pakistan would be Quetta or Faisalabad :)

I spot that the road signboards are written in Arabic ?

Pakistan is very beautiful with many attractive spots to visit :)

Its in Urdu..it just looks like Arabic. Faisalabad is too hot to be a summer capital.
