Near the small checkpost of Deeh about 40 km from the Khunjerab pass and the remote border to China.

A huge mudslide had covered the entire road with tough mud and there was no going around it…

One of the biggest rockfalls/landslides we saw.

I don’t know why Lole never was re released into the Wild after her rescue and recovery. And even though our meeting took place with her in captivity, it was a powerful experience to scratch the chin of one of the rarest creatures on earth.

This is “Lole”, she is one of the last few remaining Snow Leopards left on the Planet. She was rescued by local men while trying to cross the river when she was only 6 months old. Now she is an adult and is under the care of the local wildlife protection that keeps her in an enclosure outside the small village of Sost.

Pakistani Creativity

Behind me is the Grand Trunk Road witch used to be one of the most important and busy trading routes in the world. Originally stretched from New Dehli to Kabul.

The Pakistan Rangers

The Wagha border ceremony outside Lahore. The whole thing basically is a contest between the Indian and the Pakistani rangers about who can shout the loudest and kick the highest. While looking as angry as possible.

The culture difference hits me in the face as soon as i entered Pakistan with one of its many decorated cargo-trucks.
