Kaghan Valley


A leftover from the severe snows of 2004. The
daredevil testing thickness of ice was finally
persuaded to come down so that the onlookers
could enjoy the sights more comfortably.


The river Kunhar is a torrent here and I wonder
what grade it would fit on in the rafting scales. The river
claims many lives every year of careless dwellers
of the plains coming in summer.


The views even outside the window of your transport
are amazing.


The local equivalent of an environment-friendly
refrigerator of a road-side seller of juices
and other similar stuff.

Sri Paya










Shogran

Kiwai





Balakot


Looking down towards Balakot from the entry point
of the valley.


The other side of the vallye toward Garhi Habib-ullah
and the old road that used to go from Balakot
to Mansehra.

Abbottabad





Kallar Kahar


Boats in the lake.

Multan






Some views from Qila Qasim (populary referred to as the Qila, meaning fort) of the shrines of Rukun-ud-din Alam, Baha-ud-din Zakaria Multani and the old city.

Motorway (M2)


The motorway just before the climb on the Salt Range.
