This Weekend: Crystal Clear Waters in Deraluk 💦☀️🃏
Join us for a refreshing escape to Deraluk, where we’ll spend the day swimming in the fresh waters of Gali Sherana at Deraluk. After a hike alongside the water stream, we will relax by the water, and soaking up the summer sun.

Whether you’re diving into the clear waters, playing cards with friends, or just enjoying the peaceful vibe — this trip has it all.

Nature, family-friendly fun, and great company — don’t miss it!
