.....Gorakh Hill...Ultimate beauty of Sindh......Mountainier

[mountainier]

Start of hilly area, the landscape was extraordinary, as inclination from ground to the top is amazing, i have been all over the country, be it Galyat, Naran / Kaghan and the whole of Northern Areas (Gilgit, skardu, hunza, sost, fairy meadows) and much much more but the inclination from the base to the top of Gorakh hill is out of this world

greatest match in the history of cricket is coming up so more pics after the end of the match

stay tuned more coming up:)

The masjid which we saw along the road at Khuda Abad. That was the historical Masjid Khuda Abad. But we didn't stopped due to renovation work giong on. Being realistic, we didn't knew the historic background of that Masjid.

Interestingly their were four bridges en route to the top though all of them are non functional since the gravel connecting them to the main road has vanished

Beautiful rock face

Cattle rearing at the top of the rock face

Cramped room inside the Potohar and biscuits;)

The plains, ragged terrain and hills reminded me of Chillas area of KKH though the mountains in NA are about 3 times higher than what we had here and on top of that NO River Indus

Another bridge not in use:(

Gaining Altitude

Various colors en route to the top

Milestone

Midway to the top, it was a surprise to see so much greenery:)

The Path we followed

[mountainier]

MI 6 double agent checking goats for eating, unfortunately their owner came along and deprived him from this opportunity:(
anyhow latter on he convinced us to take lunch at Dadu and return to Karachi, as we were in the mood to have Dinner at Super Highway instead(H)

The temperature at this point was cooler and driver offered us with fresh and cold local water, thanks to him for the first time we were off bottled water

[mountainier]

By now we were near the top and have gained serious altitude

The most challenging part of the journey a few kms from the summit

[mountainier]

Made it at the top of Gorakh hill (sit back and enjoy)(H)

MI 6 double agent / Shakeel was cursing us for skipping breakfast;) and trying to convince us on having something solid as food before Karachi:-#, rather than enjoying the landscape:(

Amazing landscape

[mountainier]

Managed to track some wildlife;)

The drop on the other side is outstanding and is probably more than 1500 meters, the only other place where i witnessed a sudden drop like the one before you was at Karimabad's Altit fort

The surrounding area at the summit

Asim Bhai / Hakeemullah this is not Titanic and you are not Leonardo dicaprio;)

Wonderful excursion and interestng narration. Thanks for sharing. What do you think the temperature was at the top?

[mountainier]

@kn_khipk
Thanks for appreciating, the temperature at the top was about 21 or 22 degree Celsius which was a blessing since temperature at the base was 40+
