A group of mountainres are looking into the mountain on their way back home. Going upto summer grazing land usually takes more than five hours steady walk. Going down towards village is comparativly easy.

A moutain passage

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.
