High up in the mountains north of Pakistan, there live, oblivious to what goes on in the mainland or the rest of the world, some nomads who survive mostly on their cattle produce. They spend their summers on mountains where lush green grazing grounds await their cattle and their winters are spent at the base where they usually have a small cottage or hut to make it through the harsh weather. During one of my treks, I camped next to a village of such nomads and these were all the kids there were who gathered around out of sheer curiosity, that trek being one rarely attempted.
‘Pahari’ in this context means of or belonging to the mountains, ‘Pahar’.
