Pakistan - Kutwal Lake

The fairy-tale lake of “Kutwal”, 3300 meters in altitude is one of the highlights of this trek. It shimmers under the shadows of Haramosh Peak 7409 Mt and Mani Peak 6684 Mts., flanked by the Mani Glacier.

Towards its South-west are the snow covered ridges and peaks of the Haramosh range presenting awe-inspiring views of the beautiful landscape while the “Bilchar Peak” (6134 Mts.) and other snow bound ridges of the “Rakaposhi Range” are towards its north and the north-west. Towards the east is the “Haramosh La”, 4800 meters high and the snow covered ridges of the “Liala Massif” (6770-6300 Mts.) and due north east are the high ridges of the “Malibuting Massif” (7458 to 7260 Mts.). It is indeed a mountain wonderland.

Pakistan - Karachi City

Karachi is the capital of the province of Sindh, and the largest city in Pakistan. Located on the coast of the Arabian Sea, north-west of the Indus River Delta, the mega city is the largest city, original capital and cultural, economical, philanthropic, educational, and political hub, as well as the largest port, of the country.

The metropolitan area along with its suburbs comprises the world's second most populated city, spread over 3,530 square kilometers. The city credits its growth to the mixed populations of economic and political migrants and refugees from different national, provincial, linguistic and religious origins who have largely come to settle here permanently.

It is locally termed as the City of Lights for its liveliness and the City of The Quaid, for not only being both the birth and death place of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah the founder of Pakistan but also his home after 1947. Residents and those born in the city are called "Karachiites".

Pakistan - Altit Fort and Village Hunza

The Hunza valley is situated at an elevation of 2,438 metres (7,999 feet). The former capital Baltit has an elevation of 2477 metres (8129 feet).

For many centuries, Hunza has provided the quickest access to Swat and Gandhara for a person travelling on foot. The route was impassable to baggage animals; only human porters could get through, and then only with permission from the locals.

Hunza was easily defended as the paths were often less than half a metre (about 18") wide. The high mountain paths often crossed bare cliff faces on logs wedged into cracks in the cliff, with stones balanced on top. They were also constantly exposed to regular damage from weather and falling rocks. These were the much feared "hanging passageways" of the early Chinese histories that terrified all, including several famous Chinese Buddhist monks.
