It took me to much time to reach beautiful Chitral Valley in Hindukush so I decided now to fly out the mountains to Peshawar… If the weather is good there is daily flight from Chitral to Peshawar. The cost is not high – like 50 USD, but it is still twice more that the fare for locals. I was excited when they said that the flight is operated by the military C 130 aircraft because the hard terrain conditions… It was my first time in such a plane… They can take 80 passengers into the giant body… Impressive! The only disadvantage were very little and dirty windows so I had limited possibility to take the pictures of the mountains during the flight.
In the afternoon I was wandering again – after 31 years -around the famous Peshawar bazar… I found a lot of changes: no gun-sellers, much more noise and the pollution. After 3 hours walk in the smoke generated by auto-rikshaws and cars I has already the headache… Tomorrow I want to escape – by train…
