Here comes a "twisht" in the story ;

I wanted to take off my boots and put on sandals and shorts to enjoy the water. So I took the car keys from Farhan and rushed towards car for changing.
Here a small incident happened.

[ali.sprite1]

When I climbed up the rocks on left, I came to know that road was quite near to the place where we were chilling.
The car was parked at some distance, so I walked to the car and thought of taking the car to that nearest point of road.
I started the engine and turned the car. It was a narrow road.
When I was turning, I had to apply reverse gear. But unfortunately I failed to do so. I didn't knew that it was a six gear car and it's reverse gear was different than other cars. When I released the hand break, car got neutral and slipped on the right side of road, which was 2-3 feet deep.

[ali.sprite1]

Thank God, it was not as deep as left side but there were thorny bushes all over.
I tried to push but it was not possible for me alone, so I ran towards my friends for help.

[ali.sprite1]

Farhan immediately came with me and hold the driving seat. And I tried to push from front but failed because of the slippery round stones under tyre.

Luckily Allah sent help and a passing by jeep stopped and four men came running towards us for help.
They put some bigger stones and sticks under tyre and pushed the car. After trying for a few minutes, car was again on road. Thanks God.

We thanked those gentlemen, who were going to mazar. They offered us to join them for lunch, as they were carrying a goat with them to cook.

[ali.sprite1]

We thanked them and moved towards our point. Farhan inspected the car from sides to find any damage.
Thanks God, it was safe.
We parked the car near our point and climbed down the rocks towards steam.

[ali.sprite1]

In the course of this adventure, I got my knee injured a bit. There were bruises all over my legs because of thorny bushes and tension on the face of Farhan because of car.
But the most interesting part is that our friends Asim bhai and Dr.Zawar never showed up.
They kept chilling in the stream.

Anyways, after this break we started enjoying again.

[ali.sprite1]

While we were enjoying in water, Dr.Zawar went to the mazar of Peer Chutta for Fatiha and namaz.

[ali.sprite1]

Mazar of Peer Chutta from stream.

[ali.sprite1]

I went to the mazar to call Zawar who was busy in photo session and chit chat with locals.

[ali.sprite1]

Dr.Zawar is working with S.S.G.C. and is responsible for surveying and mapping. Therefore, he used to travel a lot in remote areas of Sindh and Balochistan. So he is used to to mix up with locals easily.

[ali.sprite1]

Life around mazar.

Cooking preparation.

[ali.sprite1]

We dragged him out of here and left the place in order to reach the cave city as soon as possible.

[ali.sprite1]

Now it was time to move further to our next destination Gondrani Cave city which was far from here.
Some closing shots by Zawar.
