“Boot or jeffers is there a border crossing into Pakistan named.....Bumboret?”

Yes.

See first map in post #127. There is a stream named Bumporet Gol located 12.5km southwest of Chitral. Presumably, it goes up into the mountains to the southwest that form the border with Afghanistan. Any pass there would likely take on the name of the most prominent local feature, the stream. The climb should be roughly the same as for Dorah Pass, to the northwest.

That was an interesting snippet you posted in #133. Especially the part about them being mysteriously flown out. Are you on to something, Dog?

Look how close this capture was to Kashmir...up near the little finger of Afghanistan pointed into China. This guy was in transit with a Pakistani guide to get him into Kashmir I bet.

Curious - what are the typical weather conditions are military guys are facing right now in these tribal - no-man type regions -

I mean are we talking at such high-elevations that it is actually cold up there - (which would make sense if they are high within the mountains) - just curious.

Great work by the way - very interesting to look in on -
