Weekly Contest - Best Diary Game | My First Journey to Islamabad: A Memorable Travel Experience (Part-1)

Peace be upon you, I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their lives. Today I am going to present you my Islamabad tour. I was going to Islamabad for my degree. But our main campus is Rawalpindi, so we have to get our degree from there as our name was registered there. We are going to Islamabad for this degree.

If we go to Islamabad by local bus, it will take us about 12 hours to reach there. If we take a timed bus, it will take us about nine hours to reach Islamabad from our city. So I thought that we would leave at night so that when morning came we would reach Islamabad and thus we would finish our work early.

The timed buses were at a distance of 30 km from me. I was accompanied by my friend. We both reached the nearest bus stop. From there sat in a local bus and reached the city of Sahiwal. From there we had to book another bus ticket which would take us directly to Islamabad.

Faisal Mowar's services are very good in Pakistan, I have traveled with this service before. So I thought of going on the same day so we reached the Direct Faisal Movar Bus Stap.

There was a time of 10:30 and another time of 11:30. In these two times, the bus would take us to Islamabad. We had no other option, we would go to them only then we be able to reach Islamabad at dawn. Without thinking we bought our two tickets at 10:30.

There was about half an hour left for the bus to leave, so we thought we'd sit here and wait. But we sat there for about five minutes then we both started looking at the bus top. Sometimes we were coming to this corner sometimes to another corner many passengers were coming. The bus was coming and going. But the bus to Islamabad was also getting ready and they had to leave at exactly half past ten.

We were a little late at the bus stop which made us get the last two seats. Because the journey there is a bit uncomfortable because at the end we get a lot of jolts on the bus. Any small jump is felt more by us but Faisal Movers had this feature that it didn't give us any kind of bump. She did not jump. Because these buses are equipped with shocks and due to which the journey is very quiet.

As soon as it was half past ten we also boarded the bus and our bus left from Sahiwal Bus Terminal right on time. And we had to complete our journey of seven hours. This bus will go to Okara, Faisalabad through us and then on the motorway.

This was my first experience that I am going to Islamabad before and I have never been there either for a visit or for any of my work. Today it was our first experience that we were going to Islamabad and we had absolutely no idea how we would plan our journey and where we would go. Only we will reach our destination through Google Maps.

As soon as we reached a distance of about 40 to 50 km, the bus hostess gave us a glass and left. And then after a while, he served us water. After about 20 minutes of serving water, he also served us drinks.

Faisal Movers has the characteristic that we don't have to worry about anything there, we get through our journey with great ease. They are seats that are soft and comfortable and sit on them with great ease. And we are provided with all kinds of facilities, there is a screen in front of our seats where movies, songs, games, etc. are downloaded, we can also watch them easily and headphones are served to us as soon as we sit on the bus. Are so that the one next to us is not disturbed.

As soon as we were halfway through, they gave us a box, a box from Faisal Movers. And that which we have given as rent and this is his expense. As soon as half of our journey was completed, the hostess gave us that box and left.

We opened the box in which they kept lees and cakes etc. as these are given to us during our journey so that we don't feel hungry. And thus we have a light refreshment, and our journey is good. We opened these things and ate leisurely with drinks.

Me and my friends sat and chatted a lot, it was late night and we were getting sleepy. Because earlier it was not our routine to wake up at night but now we had to wake up. Due to this, our trip was quite exciting but still, we were getting a little sleep and then we both friends slept for a while.

After traveling for seven hours, we finally reached Islamabad. As soon as we landed in Islamabad, we started feeling quite cold as we were going from Sahiwal and the weather here was still fine. But as soon as we reached Islamabad, which is a hilly area, it was very cold and we felt very cold. And we didn't have any jackets etc.

As soon as we got down at the Islamabad bus terminal, the first thing we did was look for a mosque and go there. We sat there for a while and waited and then the Fajr call was called and then we performed ablution. And then we sat there for about an hour because it was quite cold and we were getting some relief there. And anyway, the day had not started yet as soon as the day starts then we will start our next journey.

I'll end my journey here today as my post is getting pretty long this way. I don't want to spoil other people's interest when we give a light touch then our audience will enjoy it more. I'll see you in the next post with a new one on my journey.

I would like to invite my friends @jyoti-thelight, @rumaisha, and @ruthjoe to join this contest.
