I had started taking clicks when we reached Mingora. The pics before Mingora are the ones which have been taken on return journey. many of them will be the reverse pics because of obvious reasons that they were taken that way.

This post i encountered just on the way to Mingora. I zoomed the camera. Th words say Churchill piquet. Probably Winston Churchill served here. I know there is another post in Tribal areas probably in Wana or Miranshah which is also named Churchill post. Whats the resemblance between them both i have no idea. Any historian reading can guide me.

So we reached Mingora at night after Isha. Stayed with a friend for night then early morning packed up luggage for kalam again. The first leg of trip was successfully completed. we reached Mingora at the first day. Second day we had to reach Kalm and stay there. and the third day from Kalam direct to Peshawar. Because on monday there was no leave from Office.

So friends we reached Mingora. Next day we woke up early morning. It was not as cold a sit is now. Mingora is just like Lahore. We took shower then breakfast and started our journey towards our destination that is Kalam.

Life is hustling and bustling around. alhamdollilah no signs of terrorism. Although army is present at many locations.

streets are narrow and traffic is more than capacity.
