One can learn a lot from pictorial stories carved
by the ancients onto rocks about their lives, their environment
and their habitat.
We start by visiting the ancient Buddhist Rock Carvings
of 2nd to 4th century Ad at Shatial and Chilas before arriving in
Gilgit, an important historic town of the Silk Route. Another breathtaking
sight is the famous Ganesh rock and Sacred rock. Along the Hunza
river, we will cross the Ganesh bridge and record 2000 years of
travel by various people along the silk route. Rock inscriptions
that are best translated have been carved in various languages of
the ancient world.
Ashoka inscriptions as old as 2500BC are an astounding
vision of history as occurred during that period. A trip to Shahbas
Garha near Chardsada (between Peshawar and Swat) will be a lifetime
experience.
Come and see for yourself!
