| Visited NAKO on 18th Oct 2010 and disappointed by the place. Lake for which NAKO is famous is not up to mark, water looks polluted\muddy and not healthy for any aquatic life. Village is very small, no cell phone signal, most of the time PCO is also not working, to eat you can get momo and chowmin only. But the good thing is the road between Pooh and Nako, its full of beauty and landscapes. | |
