Baltistan, North Pakistan

On the rugged jeep track towards K2 and the mighty mountains of Masherbrum and Gasherbrum. This is the Hushe Valley, where the inhabitants faced a 2 day trek to the nearest town to purchase or trade. I travelled this in 2000. This is a digital take from a photo I took…..it is the most strikingly beautiful area of the world I have visited, North Pakistan. It was then unspoiled by much tourism as it is difficult of access. I spent quite some weeks in the area and really enjoyed the people and the area. All the mountains here, on the ‘Roof of the World’ are giants!
