A morning on the Arawali slopes begins with the sun slipping over low granite ridges and the smell of dry scrub warming in the air. Your feet find narrow goat paths, and the rocks hum with a slow, ancient heat as you climb. Villagers wave from courtyards of lime-washed homes; children pause to watch a small caravan of hikers thread the same lanes they use every day.
