Meet the men who navigate arguably the world's most dangerous road in order to ferry goods to remote mountain villages.
The Lowari Pass begins in the Pakistani town of Dir and winds its way through the tribal regions bordering Afghanistan.
Hell's Road, as it is known among locals, is 240km long and forms the only supply route to the small villages in the Chitral valley in northwestern Pakistan.
It is a road where even the slightest error can be fatal.
The 20,000 inhabitants of Dir make their living off the road, with tonnes of goods loaded and unloaded from trucks each day. Trucks are the only means of transport in this mountainous region.
