You climb into a rustic jeep and the valley opens—green terraces sliding away below and a wind that seems to push the vehicle up the spine of the Northern Range. The road tilts sharply; the engine grunts; the guide points to a ridgeline where the Paramin Valley drops away in broad, cultivated sweeps. The air smells of fresh herbs and damp earth, and the village waits with laundry on lines and dogs inspecting strangers.
