The Siachin Glacier

The north of Pakistan boasts undoubtedly the worlds most stunning mountain scenery. Forget about those touristy Himalayan trials in Nepal, if you are looking for real wild mountain beauty, then Northern Areas are the place to go. The extreme northeastern part of Pakistan is dominated by the craggy Karakorums, whose glaciers are the worlds biggest permanent mass of snow and ice outside the poles.


Worlds Tallest Cliff

Trango Towers are amongst the many jewels encountered during the epic trek to K2. Standing tall like guardians of the great glaciers, the biggest member of the group, the Grand Trango, features the worlds greatest nearly vertical drop; nearly 1340 meters. They also offer some of the most technical rock climbing and extreme BASE jumping opportunities.



The most Mysterious Tribe

Although un-contacted tribes still exist in unexplored rainforest regions, Kalash are possibly the worlds most mysterious group. Surrounded for thousands of kilometers by Islamic strongholds, they are the only tribe
which has kept its pre-Islamic belief religion. Their exotic European features have inspired many theories about possible origins but nothing substantial has yet been proven. Their long term existence is however in doubt due to
increasing tourist exposure and Islamization.
