well my friends - I am in love with the Northern Areas of Pakistan - These are pics from a trip that I did couple of months ago to Gilgit and Skardu - Most of you must have seen and visited these places - but still - this time look at it through MY EYES

Thats the Shyok river near KHAPLU about a 100 km from Skardu.Peaks in the background are part of Masherbrum group.

That lonely structure is actually a mosque in an otherwise desolate surroundings - located a little above the Khaplu village on the mountain side.

This the boys primary school in the small village of MACHULU thats about a 10 KM trek from KHAPLU town. Mountains in background are Masherbrum group. I wish I was a school going kid enrolled at this lovely school.

This terraced area is the property of the whole village of MACHULU - they grow fruits and vegetables here - every family owns a small area here.

I went to the place three years consectively with friends.... and God I have never seen a place so untouched, so magnificiant and so awesome. You need at least a month to visit all the spots if you go at the right time of year.

Travelling has always been a fascination and since i read and heard and watched pictures related all the dangerous tracks about our Northern Land, and specially 'bout concorida, i just want to experience that chilling ur spine kinda fearful and at the same time exciting sensations

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif

Waiting for the day when i could have a chance for it…not that im bahadur enough to go for it but then i think its the spirit that counts more…

kashish and abdullah

I would recommend u 2 read Mustansar hussain tarrar’s travelouges specially the ones about the K2 expedition - Nanga parbat and Snow Lake - Very interesting and absorbing stuff

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif

17

I have read 'em alreadyyyy and yess they are very interesting indeed

Think of the money that Pakistan could be generating in tourism if we had a stable government and less corruption.

Not many people in the Western Worlds even know such beauty exists in Pakistan and they're would be even more, once we get our Kashmir back

amazing!

I remember there was a time, back in the early 90s when there were so many tourists who came from countries like germnay, holland etc to visit these places, and they were so happy to see these places... They even stayed happily with families in Pakistan rather than hotels, and it was a unique experience to get to know the people of Pakistan better, but our extremists scared them away now... The tourist industry in Pak is now virtually dead, despite having such good potentials...
