Trekkign in Pakistan/Karakoram - the northern areas of Pakistan are blessed with some of the worlds most rugged and splendid mountain scenery. This vast land of eternal snow is the abode of five of the worlds major 8, 000 meter peaks. K-2 pronounced as (Chogori) in Balti language is the jewel of the Karakoram range. Towards the western Himalaya lies Nanga Parbat the worlds ninth highest. Even today, these mountains are less well explored and mapped than other comparable mountain regions, and many peaks over 6000 meters remain unnamed and unclimbed. Not only does this region posses lofty mountains but some of the worlds longest glaciers outside the polar region. The Biafo and Hispar together form one of the longest traverses with possibilities of climbing innumerable peaks below 6500 meters. In no other part of the world is there such a large number of high mountains in such a confined space. This form of trekking is unique in itself unlike anything in the Americas, Europe or even elsewhere in Asia. Not only does one encounter mountain scenery in absolute wilderness but as you journey through valleys you come across some of the worlds rarest wildlife species and assemblage of plants. The Markhor, Himalayan Ibex, Shapu and Snow Leopard all survive in close proximity of these high mountain ranges.

Trekking in the karakoram, Western Himalaya and Hindu Kush is a once in a life time adventure.
