Trekker's Trails

Foreign tourists visited Kumrat Valley Dir Upper this year There was a time when not only foreign citizens but even the neighboring Pashtuns would not come to our area without prior acquaintance. This was a time when our elders kept Kohistan Dir isolated from the outside world. Only those who knew someone local would come from outside. Those who came without prior acquaintance were immediately sent back, no matter who they were. I am talking about the villages of Kohistan Dir; at that time, Kumrat was an extremely sensitive and sacred place where the question of outsiders entering did not even arise.   Around 1895, when Umra Khan, also known as the Afghan Napoleon, attacked Kohistan Dir and annexed it into Dir, even then, the local people, despite losing everything, did not allow him access to Kumrat.

On the roof, passengers would sit with their feet hanging on both sides. When these places were filled up, people would grab onto the rails and travel hanging . The driver's name of the bus was Shabir Ustad. During the summer season, while traveling, he would stop the vehicle for a nap and rest at Talash Lower Dir, leaving the poo
