jee jee aap ka mashwara achi tarha yaad hai..main ne apni copy main note kar lia tha..roz himmat karta hoon us par amal karne ki par kam chori ki waja se reh jata hoon. tareef ka shukriya 
saqi bhai: jazak Allah.
kaam chori ki waja se yah khana chori ki waja se:hehe:
jahaan tak mera khayal hai waja yehi hai warna roz roz sehat par itna nikhar na araha hota :rotfl"
This is amazing. aap ne to reply karne pe majboor kardya. Breathe taking pictures! I am literally saving all these pictures and will change my wall papers daily Inshallah :-p
I just came back from Sawat Valley a week ago and of course I have pics of all those places Kalam, mountain jheel, Malam Jabba etc. but my pics are nothing. Ofcourse the valley is just superb magar meri pics mein wo baat nahi :)
KuKri: Ziada tar tar na karo...oye! :p
Mindless: Thanks for the kind words. Koi baat nahin...pics to achi buri ho jaati hain...par jaghain to sawat wali bhi bohat fit hain. Hehe...wallpapers...waqai...these places warrant such a treatment. Thanks again :~)

apni khair manao app tar tar karna is kukri ki adat hai :D
Just saw this thread. Cool pics.
The blue color of the lake indicates there must be a lot of iron in the area. Very scenic.
Thanks for sharing the lodging info.

Uploading all pics (from the first few posts) from this memorable, almost certainly once-in-a-lifetime-trip for me :o)
**
The plane ride to Skardu-Arguably, one of the best I have had in my life. The mesmerizing snow-peaked mountains of Skardu looked majestic from the plane window
Bird’s Eye View-A view of Skardu from PTDC Hotel, Skardu
On the Roof-Another view of Skardu…from the rooftop
The Three Musketeers-My friends and I..obviously quite happy at finally having left our respective offices for the mountains
Nature’s Colors-Scenes like this are abound in Skardu. Loved the natural color combination
The Creaking Bridge-As soon as the Jeep landed on it…it just hung low…we then decided to march across on foot to cross it. Better reach the other side late than never :~p
Apni Pyaas Bujhao-My friend and I stopped by to have a ‘natural’ drink on our way
The Misty Shigar Valley
Shigar Valley-There were no visitors save us
My friend and I at Shigar Valley. The foreground and background competing for attention :~p**
**Shangrilla. I don’t know how many pictures I had seen of the place in calendars since time immemorial.
Boat Ride at Shangrilla. Rides are fun!
The Upper Kachura Lake-Please have a seat
Jheel ke Panion Main Doobta Suraj-I can look at this picture for hours and still not get tired
Satpara Lake-Welcome to the Green Waters
Satpara-It was cloudy and it drizzled a bit as well
Getting ready for Deosai Plains-The brigade all set for bonfire
Deosai Plains-First impression
Deosai-This pic looks so lunar to me…dunno why
More Deosai for you**
**Deosai-In freezing cold…nothing like pitching a tent and sipping on garam garam chai. Pure bliss!
More of Satpara…the Beautiful!
In the middle of nowhere
Shigar Fort-under renovation of AKCSP (Aga Khan Cultural Support Program)
One of the entrance doors to the ancient mosque at the Shigar village
Life after Lunch-Somewhere near Gilgit I believe
Destination Known-We are going to the mountains. Elementary!
The Road Ahead-Notice the shades each mountain boasts of. The array of shades is baffling
Making Way-One boulder at a time please!
As we begin to approach, er..more mountains!**
**Man and the Machine-Rahim and his trusted vehicle that took us places
Welcome to the Karakoram Highway-Eighth Wonder of the World
…and miles to go before..we reach Gilgit!
Rakaposhi-The Majestic!
Rakaposhi-The Sun making a final salute to the majestic mountain before it sets for the day
Hunza-Outside a shop in the main bazaar. The prices here at not for the weak at heart!
Dui Kar-A place near Hunza…where we went out to see the sunrise. What a vantage point to view the city!
As the sun welcomes Hunza at Dui Kar…
Hehe…in a traditional Hunza cap…i also tried learning some Balti but to no avail :~(
I-bex or Markhor…a goat like animal with the size of a donkey (or bigger). It’s prohibited to hunt it down since it has gone a bit rare**
**
Good Morning World-As we munch on omelette at our hotel in Hunza
Good Friends-On way to Khunjerab Top..somewhere in Passu
Yak Pulao-At Soost. Yummy? Needless to mention, i just picked on the chawal in the plate :~p
Khunjerab Top-All Snow
At 16,000 ft, you feel like you are on top of the world
Welcome to China-The board at the left hand side of the pic is where Pakistan ends
All Ice-You can’t run at this place…you will fall short of breath and that’s when the chill factor will get to you
Grazing-happy Yaks-They only thrive in extremely cold conditions. This place is barely a km away from Khunjerab top
Hunza-It sure does look a lot more beautiful when you have omelette in your mouth and chai ka cup in the hand
At the Roof-Baltit Fort at Hunza
**
**
Ancient Polo Trophy. The ball is made up of soft wood (i actually touched it to verify) :~p
Pots and Pans-Inside the fort, these utensils are present in the old Ameer of Hunza’s summer room
Prisons and Dungeons-Underground prisons for..well, prisoners!
Dark Alleys-Imagine walking above wailing prisoners. Shudders
Longevity-An elderly lady of Hunza who died at the age of 115 years.
On way to Nagar
Nagar-The chicken that we had for lunch. Please don’t call me cruel!
Hoper Glacier-Nagar
The dirty glacier on my left-It makes popping sounds as the ice pops up the small stones lying on top of it. Funny! :~D
Nanga Parbat-The Killer Mountain. You are blessed if you see it since it is generally covered in clouds. Shermeeli!**
**
The Killer Mountain-Up Close and Personal
Happy Birthday to Me-The cake which my friends bought for my birthday was cut early next morning coz we were tired as anything. Sweet of them if you ask me
Another view of Nanga Parbat enroute Rama Lake
Your Vehicle’s Llifeline-This one is motored…but on our way..we came across one which was completely manual. A chakki type thing was motored through brute force which in turn pumped the petrol into the jeep. Aww!
PTDC Rama-We were extremely exhanusted by the hectic schedule we’ve had over the last 8 or so days. Rama’s awe-inspiring beauty also helped to no end and we decided to stay there for a good 2 nights.
Rama-A view of the motel and the place itself. Serene but splendid
Starting Out-Here we start the 2.15 hrs trek to Rama Lake
Steep Side Up-We tried to take a short-cut to the trek…and we almost found ourselves climbing up a steep wall. Not easy on 14,000+ ft, i tell you
Glacier Bhai No. 1..on way to the Rama Lake
Peek-a-Boo-On to the first one…and looking forward to the second**
**
Mini-Mes-On the biggest of them all. Woohoo!
Rama Junior-Just before the main lake itself…there is this beautiful leaf-shaped Rama Junior (i named it) that is being fed underground through the glaciers
Approaching Rama Lake-Between the Rama Junior and Rama Lake
Rama Lake-I call it Satpara’s brother since both of them are so neat and green in their appearance :~D
Caramel and Vanilla-On top of the mountains surrounding Rama Lake
Behold-Read!
The mighty Karakoram, Himaliyas and the Hindukash meet for a cup of tea here! :~) What more can one want?
**
Over five years have passed since the trip. i have grown older. and wiser (or so i would like to think) 
and quite a lot has changed. but this particular streak has not.
thank you for reminding me of this. whoever did.
