I visited this place. It's a naturally beautiful place like heaven...if you want to see heaven on earth see this place.. but it's your own risk.. why I am saying that it's your own risk.. because this place was used in terrorism 10 years ago.. now it's the hold of the army and slowly they give the place to people live there.

Location.

South Waziristan is a hilly and forest area and is present in the country Pakistan. I live in Dera Ismail Khan and from here to reach this place in 6 hours by car.

Are this place is safe

Yes, its place is now safe. If anyone wants to visit this place surely can visit.. it was held in Taliban before 10 years ago. It's was a famous place as a name terrorists place .but now due to entry of Pakistan army it's safe.

My point of view.

I was surprised when I go there. Because here I live in this area, their weather is warm in months May, June July August, and September. But therein these month weather is a cloudy and cool area. I enjoy it a lot with friends.

Our plan about visit south Waziristan.

One day after the completion of my internship in the Hilton pharma industry in Karachi...I come back to my home located in Dera Ismail Khan. In the evening time, one of my close friends call me and tell me that we are going to south Waziristan if you want to join us it's a great pleasure for us. I replied yes why not. After 2 days we arrange 125bike which are 4 in number. We are 7 friends and started the journey towards South Waziristan.

Stay in a hotel. (Razmak place)

I forget to tell you that my one matric class fellow and close friends live there. He spent the summer holidays there because the south Waziristan area is cool. Throughout the years the season is in Winter. So when we reach our first point Razmak. It's a beautiful place. Everywhere greenery and high mountain. We booked the one two-room there and spend the night there.

Next day towards the valley

We all woke up in the early morning and did breakfast and then on the bike we find a new place. Our journey started towards the valley. I listen from people it's a beautiful place and mountain seems like they are talking to sky and clouds. After 3 hours ride on the bike, we reach this beautiful place. This place is located between two mountains. Start photographic session. After about 15 minutes distance from one hotel ..we went there and did lunch...

Army checkpoint

The army is playing a great role there. They checking everyone and ask about identity..why it's needed is because they want to prevent this place from terrorists. When we reach the checkpoint ..they ask about to tell about ourselves. where are you from and check all your identity cards? After checking they politely gossip with us. When they know our language is sariki ( sweet language in the world) they talk with us in sariki language.. and we spent 30 minutes there in gossip. After that, we go back to the hotel in Razmak place.

Towards friend homes.

After packing things in Razmak place we start the trip towards the friend's home..in the night we reach there. They are Pathan (cast). They are famous for hospitality in our country. I don't know in the overall world. When we reach there every dish for eating is present on the table.. even they made ice cream also. In dish biryani, fish, white rice, boil eggs, cool drink, mangoes, salan, salad 🥗. Even the table is full of all dishes. They welcome us and eat with us. After that gossip with each other about the cultural situation and people's lifestyle..they give us very informative info about the South Waziristan...

The lifestyle of people.

Most people are going to spend the summer holidays there. They have no job there. Everyone has their own house and field. Lifestyle is like that education is less there. They wear caps with a simple cloth. Some people have long hair. They keep weapons on the shoulder.

Angor ada(Afghan Pakistan border)

The next day we planned to go angoor ada. It's the border. After 4 hours distance, we reach the angore ada by bike. When we entered this place. We are thinking we reach the new planet. Everyone has a weapon and big hair. First I feel afraid but by their talk, I feel fine. My friend told me about the people of angore ada. Mostly Afghani people there and daily they came here by cross the border and after earning some money in a day or buy daily use stuff go back to Afghanistan (country name).

Livelihood.

There are trees here whose fruit is called the most expensive fruit in the world. His name is Chalgoza( Pinus gerardiana, known as the chilgoza pine or neja is a pine native to the northwestern Himalayas in Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, Waziristan). There are also apple orchards. Apple is also the most popular fruit here. Most of the apples in Pakistan go from here. And that is their source of income.

Mobile signal.

This is a place where no use for mobile. No signal. Life is simply without electronic things. No light no TV. Life is free from these things. Only gossip with each other. I noticed only Razmak mobile signal is there but in the overall trip, I not found the signals of mobile. I think it's a good point there people live together and gossip. No need for Mobile for busyness.

Conclusion.

This place is a great place for the trip. I enjoy it and find new words. Observe that how people live without mobile and other electronic things. No need for electricity for that people. Nature is so beautiful there.

Good to know that the place was shared to local civilians. Afgha is near to your country then, no need for passport or paper of any sort? Waiting for your next article. SuperJulalaine.
