After having photographs there, we drove further into the valley and reached the end of Alpuri Tehsil. There was a small checkpost there. Its security staff was quite hospitable and soon they come to know that we were tourists there; they offered us tea. But we excused them and decided to explore more beauty on foot.

For the information of readers: There is no hotel/restaurant in Yakhtangay but 2 or 3 small dhabaas only.

Coming back to topic,
From that checkpost above, we turned back the car and parked it on the road side. Simultaneously we noticed a steep hill. All three of us started to climb that hill, after taking few steps, Kamal said:
"Hum ghalat jaa rahe hain. Ye kisi k ghar ka raasta hai". And my answer was "Yaar itni ooper kon ghar bnayega! Chup kar k chalte raho". And after some more steps forward I realized that Kamal was right
So we turned back. While trekking uphill, we felt shortness of breath. Is moqa par Kamal ne kaha:
"Yaar hamara stamina bilkul farigh hai". And I replied**(toote hui saans k saath): "Mera nae hua, sirf tum dono(Imran & Kamal) ka. Me tu Fit hun"**

Scenery was too attractive there and nature asked us to capture its beauty.
