This was a fantastic trek through Kohistan just as snow started to fall for the season. My guide was much older than me, smoked and carried a bagful of apples, but kept right on going. I had been living in a village nearby at 8,000 ft, but took some time to get used to this altitude at 15,000 ft over the pass to Dir. Every once in a while MJ, my guide would pull out another apple for us both, I'd take another picture and we'd have a short break. We arrived in plenty of time to check into a visitor's lodge and get a meal for the evening.
