Tooli Peer:

Tooli peer is situated in district Poonch, Tehsil Rawalakot. It is the top mountain peak Tehsil famous as name of person who are three brothers having their tomb on different mountain peaks like, Peer chanasi and Peer panjal they were three brothers in Kashmir the name of mountain peaks are on the name of three brothers. The highest peak of Toli peer is 8800 meters from the sea it is batter to visit Toli peer in summer because it receives heavy snow fall in winter cause blockage of the road. The local population is not that much as the area is vast.

The Tooli peer is about 50 minutes far from the main city Rawalakot in car while a truck or heavy engine took more time due to contentious height of road. The road leading towards Tooli peer is single from Banjosa Lake and difficult for inexperienced driver. I have experienced that the driver should be expert on this road last year we arrange a tour to Toli Peer we manage three buses full of boys one of our bus driver is not experienced we use to sit on roof near Tooli peer there is a height where road goes up almost with the 70 angle our bus reverse back due to height all boys quickly left their seats and start walking including me. After some stay when we ready for back driver said that he can't drive now due to lose breaks so we called a mechanic from Rawalpindi to set bus breaks and check all parts are working ok or not so we have to stay for one night without camp although we have shelter in shape of bus first we collect piece of woods for fire. After evening we call a meeting of senior boys on which we made three committees one for guarding us, 2nd for making place for toilet, and third for dinner and fire. First we made temporary toilet and then heat up our dinner after taking dinner we plan a campfire although we don't have any camp but our bus is playing role as camp. Thanks GOD next morning a mechenic came and set the breaks.

On the way of Toli peer before Rawalakot there is gulch of pure water, we took stay at hotel for breakfast the hotel honor said that they need at least one hour to ready breakfast so, we went down for swimming the water was very clean and greenish and there are big stones we use to jump in water from those stones in water after that we get back for the breakfast and finally get back to our home safely.
