NARAN – A German tourist has been safely rescued by Mansehra police after getting lost while hiking in scenic mountains of Naran.
A clip of tourist praising the efforts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police has gone viral on social media. The woman told authorities that she started climbing a hill behind her hotel at 5 PM and reached the top within an hour. She attempted to find a path to a nearby hill but was unable to locate a safe way down.
At dark, she returned to the shepherd’s cabin and decided to spend the night there, as coming down in the dark was hard walk. Despite the cold, she was relieved when rescuers arrived with torchlight and guided her to safety.
