it takes to. run over a mission. but that. sixty dollars a month is the average pakistani son or a few drivers would accept the risks of the pos for that money so come our is offering a one thousand dollars bonus each way a bonus the younger drivers find irresistible with dignity and to get them a little fun says i don't know really know what a bit of the was about a bit of it was in a can or so this because the finish that i see the thing. that was there to pay them and they said. that but enough of it but did. it so did it in. my. business of done and it was effective.

to. get out there with a guy for the border here. at seven in the morning it's time to start i'm i. the journey along the ari pass is far from being a picnic over two hundred forty kilometers the road snakes through the mountains and breathtaking cornish is in syria should take one day to reach the destination but there are a few drivers that can manage that i would however is eager to get the trip over as quickly as possible despite the danger he wants to make as many journeys as possible in order to take advantage of the bonuses so he drives without stopping and seems to spend his life behind the wheel of his truck. but that is better than it did i got to the world most of them but because of my. own well a lot of people bought a good deal out of. the wood has been a drive of a ten year is the truck is ageless. has been stuck forever on seven hundred seventy

six thousand kilometers. the brothers don't appear to care and have decorated the truck in their own fashion photos of benazir bhutto to form a collage with those of the indian pop stars young pakistanis idolise. two thousand metres up on the first difficulties. melting snow shoes from torrents that's why it's through the road dozens of metres at a time creating holes in landslides. tell us more. about how they get there they want a. bus to get a lot of. come to see them like that but. they don't know. what i want they put out dick said but they think that they.

every trip damages the tiles further cut up by the shop brought some already deformed so kind of checks them one by one for any risk they might bust. the lhari pass poses one problem after another to help them relax the drive a smoke the local drug. is just what was that that that that. you know what.

his head elsewhere the words condition only adds to the dangers of the road drugs are one of the main causes of accidents. four years ago faced with an increasing number of injured the pakistani government financed the construction of a tunnel through the mountains i thought. that i. dumped all of that i think that it wasn't there to fold up. well but that. i would lives just a short distance away before tackling the mountain roads he stops to kiss his children goodbye. that. but. and then they give

up. the bell for the look at the day with. the word has three kids two boys and a go in this valley where religion is paramount the women are obliged to hide themselves from the glances of a man would even for his wife and his daughter for meeting the crew if. it's a photo manager of that and that's over that was the couple. of what side is k.c. and. this us. like that. beastie steps but there was a. this if to that. question play less that alice was. used to she went.

after a two hour pause the brothers resumed their travels the hardest part of the ascent is about to begin. it's an area where the melting snow causes avalanches and landslides. within an hour they will have climbed one thousand meters to a height of three kilometers as. a climb that poses a stern challenge to even the most experienced drivers. god if you know. the truck struggles to make ten kilometers an hour on the steep climb.

at twenty eight hundred meters the lack of oxygen causes drowsiness and concentrating becomes a chore. the smallest movement requires a real effort. and staying awake is a major challenge. three hundred metres to go before the pos had a chance to rest. that's out willful. can't put it that water. though it. was the moment gravity. because it was but the other one got out that day the guy in the hot tub the correct place to find

out what a lot of beer. or a. look outside the tavern the driver's check their merchandise is securely fastened. to the experience of the inside of his relax from the strain of the climb and good themselves for the next leg with a hearty meal of boiled mutton the local speciality. would cover the said visitor where you always are going to go which. i did do. several from just order to go it was get you the way you could try to. tell you by james at the steps of this. place you. wouldn't his brother head off to face the forty five bands. i think most

moron. but i just know it already got it. was a. lot of. credit that we wouldn't suffer. still but this outfit . to go shooting the curves becomes a physical battle. the goal is simply go downhill without ever stopping and pray no truck is coming the other way.

the melting snow has turned the road into a muddy track braking too harshly means using control and a one way ticket over the edge into the ravine. zone it's a composite one of. a good. bus i'll go if i was going to. look up but i got up. oh well at the. end of. the wood i was his life to the perfect control of his truck. but he has no control over nature of

course and is at the mercy of the sudden i have a launches that sweet old before them such as this electricity by the. us did. you know what it was a good. bottle of. one final bend and the brothers finally in the chitral valley. the road is better here that surfaced and protected by the foothills and it will

soon be time for collins driving lessons. but there's bad news in store just a few kilometers further down in the valley. thanks. to the mountain has slid onto the road making any further progress impossible. thanks. thank god for that but thank you thank you. thank you but rather than rust away you know it. is i felt all of them was one of the stuff i don't know i didn't know what. but thank you for that i've done . thank. the sight of a man. intern is unstable and there's

a constant series of rock falls. below risking life and limb the workers labor nonstop to open the way through. my only thought of going beyond what you know of that body not a bit. of a. walk breaks loose and hits the front of the truck. before. on either side of the one behind the some thirty trucks wait for the road to reopen and. some of the truckers of been stopped for days some more patient them out as poss the time as best they can. i do it's a political. road rather local and always look what

i'm going to. get. out there. was that a problem. it's a small tract of a such a huge mounds and everybody's pinning their hopes on the big government that is being sent out from drop a few kilometers away. is renowned throughout pakistan for its splendid trucks. and it's no coincidence. since the small town is where the most famous trunk decorating company in the valley some mean and co can be found. it's a family run business that attracts clients from all over the country. that have been endangered as you kind of and i think that that generation if they're going to ration by fifty would've wanted to. know. her second is because everything

i'm a how about this thinking that i'm going to work a good to be pushing to keep ideal question. because cahill think i. get a lot of credit the friday got it got me somebody. the following morning on the stretch of road that's being closed the much anticipated bulldozer finally arrives it doesn't take long to clear a path through the rocks i. thank you thank us.
