region ahead kalam banda is meant for rain...i think that gorge capture clouds and there is no escape for clouds from that gorge...

most probably u or any one crossing that ridge suffer rain if my mountain experience is right,...

Khai to nahi :(...sirf check ki thi. Time constraint:(

So, you descend near lake beside the water fall on Dir top side and then come to kalam Banda side!
