The other road comes from the M-2 Motorway. This road is much more faster and comfortable. However, it is recommended to go through the road that comes from Grand Trunk Road. This road comes from Sarai Alamgir near Jhelum. This road goes through many small towns and villages. The villages are made of mud huts with the salt range at the background. The larger towns have brick houses with a big mosque inside. There are some breathtaking views during this journey.
