Day 17 - Ishkoman Valley

On the way.

Tea stop

Bridge to Ishkoman Valley

Our plan was to visit Ishkoman and stay a night in Phander.... but just few kilometres from Kochdeh the water pipe going into the Diesel pump leaked.
Radiator could not hold water, we asked a passing by local of any hotel near by, he said just 2 kilometers is a newly built hotel...
When we reached the Hotel, it was an excellent place, first thing we did was checked in... There was no welder available in that area. Habib went on a Bike to Ghakuch, about 30 kms away to get a new pipe or weld it.

He came after 2 hours and my ride was fixed.
Bam-e-Dunya is an excellent place, will go again, Insha'Allah

Day 18 - Phandar.

Next morning we left Hotel and went to explore the area further up.

On this bridge over Karambar River, going towards Proper Ishkoman, we stopped to take pictures.
A new problem with my ride... starting problem, when I was cranking it, felt like almost batteries are dead. Somehow it got started, we did not go further up, turned back to Gakuch. Gakuch is a big city, when we reached there, visited few garages, non could diagnose the problem, we continued our journey till Phandar, without shutting off the engine.

On the way to Phandar.

The Oil Light which came up on uphills,..... Next day checked in Karachi, it was a wiring fault. The Chotu in Sadiqabad did the mess.
