Some more trout....

Another fact about trout for general knowledge; trout with red or orange/golden dots are those which live in shallow water while the ones with dark blackish dots are caught from deep waters (though difference is not much clear in pics but it is very much evident when you see them in real).

Qayyum sb: the target killer of trout . Water is icy cold but see the strength of retired fauji;

Water springing from the stones

This tree is a great blessing for the local people... It is very oily, you just need to show fire & it catches fire like it is soaked in kerosene oil. A great blessing for harsh winter of this area which occupies 8 out of 12 months. Its skin is also used to oil the tawa for making khush parathas

I don't think it is birch tree.... Will confirm its local name from my team mate & update it here. This tree is found only on the West i.e Ghizar side of Gilgit & not in Hunza side. I remember people using its skin to oil the tawa.
