At times, we were doing zigzag over Dowarian nallah as flood water had brought big stones which were lying in the middle of the path of nallah.

But mainly we were staying on right side of nallah over jeep track.

Another water crossing over wood log which was recently put here to make the crossing possible. This may have been referred by Dowarian people as not cross-able. Definitely without this wood log nobody can jump over such ferocious water stream.

The margin of error was only one or two inches

These were 7 or 8 steps on the protruding edges of rocks which had created a natural alternative path for the people. The water flow of Dowarian nallah was too fast and strong to even step into it so there was no chance of mistake. Full concentration was required and i asked each and every team member to slow down, take your time and watch out each and every step.

Three or four steps were even narrower than the width of foot so u could only cross by fixing half foot on the edge and then put weight on next foot.

Only plus was u could lean a little on right over the rock as it was not exactly 90 degree straight.

Remember that there used to be a road here

how deep was it below from this guy?
i remember one such crossing while going to Kondol Lake Swat
a friend of mine's foot slipped and he was literally about to fell if we hadnt caught his hand.. very scary
