Afghanistan Frühjahr 1973 - Teil 2:
Richtige Straßen gab es nur wenige, und in vielen Gegenden waren Räuberbanden unterwegs; es war sehr gefährlich, in manche Gebiete zu fahren. Die Religion war der Islam, aber in manchen Bergregionen noch nicht sehr lange, dort hatten sich auch noch Gebräuche aus früheren Zeiten gehalten. In diesen Gegenden hatten Regierungsorgane (z.B. Polizei) wenig Einfluss. In den Linienbussen, die zwischen den großen Städte verkehrten, fuhr neben dem Fahrer vorn immer ein Wächter mit einer uralten Vorderladerflinte mit, der den Bus vor Überfällen schützen sollte.
Uch or Uch Sharif Urdu: اوچ شریف) (Greek: Alexandria En Indo Potamo) is located in 75 km from Bahawalpur in Bahawalpur District, South Punjab, Pakistan Uch is an important historical city, being founded by Alexander the Great. Formerly located at the confluence of the Indus and Chenab rivers, it is now removed to Mithankot, some 100 km from that confluence. It was an important center in medieval India, as an early stronghold of the Delhi Sultanate in the 13th century during the Muslim conquest. Uch Sharif contains the tombs of Bibi Jawindi, Baha'al-Halim and Jalaluddin Bukhari, which are considered master pieces of Islamic architecture and are on the UNESCO World Heritage Site tentative list.
It is believed that in 325 BCE Alexander the Great founded a city called Alexandria on the Indus at the site of the last confluence of Punjab rivers with the Indus.[1] Nevertheless, some historians believe that Uch predates the advent of Bikramjit when Jains and Buddhists ruled over the area, and that Mithankot or Chacharan Sharif was the true settlement of Alexandria.[citation needed] In AD 712, Muhammad bin Qasim conquered the city and during the Muslim period Uch was one of the centres of Islamic studies of South Asia. There are several tombs of famous mystics (Sufis) in Uch, notably the tombs of Syed Jalaluddin Bukhari and his family. These structures were joined by a series of domed tombs; the first is said to have been built for Baha’ al-Halim by his pupil, the Suharwardiya Sufi saint Jahaniyan Jahangasht (1307–1383), the second for the latter’s great grant daughter, Bibi Jawindi, in 1494, and the third for the latter’s architect.
Flooding in the early 19th century caused serious damage to the tombs, including structural problems and the deterioration of masonry and finishes.[2] As the problems have persisted, the "Uch Monument Complex" was listed in the 1998 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund, and again in 2000 and 2002.[3] The Fund subsequently offered financial assistance for conservation from American Express.[4]
Uch from Wikipedia,
The cathedral Mosque Kul Sharif. Kul Sharif was well known at the last period of the Kazan Khanate. He was the leader of the Muslims clergy and the supreme seid before the fall of the Kazan Khanate in 1552. It is known that seids were the descendants of the prophet Muhamed...
Pilgrims crowd the main street in front of the entrance to the shrine of Moinuddin Chisti as the evening goes by.
The signal box at Golra Sharif North Jn is located between two diverging routes just north of the station. So that the signalman can view all train movements, every wall has windows. Normally, the wall at the rear is windowless. UK signalling rules require the signal to be replaced to danger after the tail light has passed the signal. Obviously, you can’t do that if you can’t see what’s going on! I assume with our colonial history, Pakistan Railway rules are similar to ours. The signalman at Golra Sharif Jn North Cabin soaks up some sunshine to warm up on 16th November 2025.

Malam Jabba (also Maalam Jabba, Urdu: مالم جبہ) is a Hill Station in the Karakoram mountain range nearly 40 km from Saidu Sharif in Swat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is 314 km from Islamabad and 51 km from Saidu Sharif Airport.
Malam Jabba is home to the only ski resort in Pakistan.[1] The area also contains two Buddhist stupas and six monasteries that are scattered around the resort. The presence of the monuments at such a height indicates that the area has been inhabited for over 2000 years.
Two trekking trails are located near the Malam Jabba resort. The first passes through the Ghorband Valley and Shangla Top and starts about 18 km from the resort. The other trail passes through the Sabonev Valley and is about 17 km from the resort.
Malam Jabba ski resort
The Malam Jabba Ski Resort, owned by the Pakistani Tourism Development Corporation, had a ski slope of about 800 m with the highest point of the slope 2804 m (9200 ft) above sea level. Malam Jabba Ski Resort was the joint effort of the Pakistan government with its Austrian counterpart. The resort was equipped with modern facilities including roller/ice-skating rinks, chair lifts, skiing platforms, telephones and snow clearing equipment.[citation needed]
In late June 2008, the Malam Jabba Ski Resort was set on fire and destroyed after being closed for more than a year. Residents said a large portion of the resort had been reduced to ashes and the militants also damaged chairlifts and a tower belonging to the meteorological department. The Pakistani government had long since lost control over the administration and security of the valley and had abandoned the resort, laying off its employees there. This was due to the war in the Swat valley between government security forces and Taliban militias (who were likely relocating from nearby FATA and Afghanistan).[2] The Pakistani government accepted a Taliban truce in the Swat valley.[3] The Taliban started infiltrating armed members into the adjoining state of Buner and openly invited Osama bin Laden. In May 2009 however the army started an offensive against the Taliban and retook the town.[4] The ski hill at the resort has now been rebuilt and is fully operational.[5] The ski track has undergone reconstruction and rehabilitation.The hotel is still awaiting reconstruction.

The crowd was building up as the time for the arrival of this train came nigh. Thankfully, we climbed up on the foot-over bridge before the arrival, otherwise we would've been caught in the almost trampede-like situation. See it for yourself!

Explore: Jun 12, 2008 #447. Golra Sharif shrine near Islamabad in Pakistan. Photo taken during my tour of Pakistan in 2006. This was the first time I visited such religious shrines and since I mainly travelled alone I was always extra cautious in terms of people's sensitivity to photography. If they weren't happy about it, then fine:-) I didn't have any problems, however. This is the entrance to the mosque and has different styles of Arabic calligraphy on the marble facing.
