we took the road towards Toli Pir, and started our climb up, this view caught a few KM past Khai Gala.

no matter where we were, when we were climbing hills and mountains, down below we always spotted these water ways, which were leading towards rivers.

Some points we are above the clouds and than at other moments clouds were above us, and than for a periods of 5 -10 mins the clouds went though us.... Rays of sunshine beaming though dark clouds moving in, it was am amazing experience.
