LARAM TOP: While the cold weather deters many from going into the open after sunset in the mountains, it is a routine for people inhabiting Laram valley of Lower Dir district.
Wali Rehman, a 55-year-old chowkidar taking care of a rest house in the scenic Laram hills, walks for around five hours daily. He walks from his home to the rest house and then back home as he receives a monthly salary to take care of the rest house.
Laram Top is home to dozens of rest houses, constructed by people in private capacity. However, there is no such facility built by the government for the stay of tourists. The area is frequented by a large number of people to enjoy the beauty of nature, the cool weather even in summers and forested mountains.
