This is Dhok Darial.

Dhok Darial is a dhok, a farmstead hamlet in District Chakwal in Punjab, Pakistan. It is also written as Dhok Rasha or Dhok Rāsha.

The village sits on the Potohar plateau, where the land is dry and cut by ravines. Farming here depends on rain, and families grow wheat and groundnut. The Salt Range rises to the south. Across this plateau, many families have members serving in the army or working abroad, and many of those who left still keep close ties to home.

In a straight line, Dhok Darial is about 44 km from Talagang, 46 km from Islamabad airport, 58 km from Chakwal city and 61 km from Dhudial. The full story of this village is still to be told by the people who live here and love it. This page is a place to begin that telling.

یہ بستی پوٹھوہار کے سطح مرتفع پر واقع ہے، جہاں زمین خشک ہے اور جگہ جگہ نالوں سے کٹی ہوئی ہے۔ یہاں کاشتکاری بارش پر انحصار کرتی ہے اور گندم و مونگ پھلی اُگائی جاتی ہے۔ جنوب میں کوہستانِ نمک دکھائی دیتا ہے۔ یہاں سے تلہ گنگ تقریباً 44 کلومیٹر، اسلام آباد ایئرپورٹ 46 کلومیٹر، چکوال شہر 58 کلومیٹر اور ڈھُدیال 61 کلومیٹر کے فاصلے پر ہے۔ اس بستی کی پوری کہانی ابھی اس کے اپنے لوگوں نے سنانی ہے۔
