Just looking in the picture it is easy, but if ever you have to go through this mountain passage, anybody from out side the hindu khush region will thunderstruck. The way width is hardly one feet. Steepness you can see on pic. It is more than 100 feet down. If some time any body stumble there is nothing to stop him to go down in to the streem. Most of his body parts will gets separated by reaching down. Also you can see the attention the boys are paying to their steps.

This picture is clearly showing the hardness of the passage in the mountain over a steep,deep and  narrow stream. Trekking into the mountain other then hindukush region might not be so dangerous.

Great Mountains, Here in Chitral one can find only baren, rigid and glamourus mountans every where. Only the People of these ranges; Hindukush, Hemalyia, Karakurm, can truly explain the picture of these mountains. Every angle of mountain has its own story and its own charm. Some mountains  are full of forests, some have water in abundance and other have no water at all. Some where you will find wild life.

A Narrow mountain Passage, Mountain, Hindukush, Chitral, Paksitan,

One can just imagine the difficulties of the way in mountains if did not experienced it earlier. I was with these guys in this trip. It is my routine since adulthood, to explore neighbouring mountains with friends. Usually we go in mid summer, some time in early spring and some time in late summer. Good time to adventure into mountain is May to Oct.

I think this  picture is self explanatory. It is above 300 feet high directly from the stream flowing down. The steep rock has been carved for some years now. Some year earlier not so late, people were travelling over this rock with out the pavements .

Helping others, Crossing stream,

Their is a quote about Helping others. "HELPING OTHERS IS LIKE HELPING YOURSELF".
 Helping others is a key in the mountain life. In other part of the world may one can live alone but here in mountains, it is impossible. Caring for others and other care for you.

Stream crossing

By looking on picture it looks prety easy to jump into the stream and cross it. but it flowing at high speed and is very cold. Before one decide to cross it has to think twice. First you have to select easy point to cross. It depends upon the area some where you will walk more than a mile to find easy point. Than keep your feet carefully in water because moss will be collected on stone with in water. If you fell into the water of such amount, it will easily drag you and can hit you with stone.
