One has to cross the bridge which is constructed over Indus river to enter Darel.Entering Darel, one has to pass through many thickly populated villages before reaching Gumari, headquarters of the tehsil. The first village that welcomes the visitor is Gayal tucked in the rugged mountains of Hindukush. The village is noted in the valley for its wooden houses. Almost every household in the village carries an intricate carving -- indicating the social position and status of the owner in the community. However, the door frames of the dwellings are ornately carved.An old wooden mosque also dots the landscape of the village. This mosque is a great specimen of wooden architecture and a blend of local and foreign elements. Arcade facade of the mosque carries interesting schemes of floral designs.The front of the mosque is an open space with a wooden platform for Jirga.
