Beautiful Pakistan - View from Lord of the Rings
This is a view of Tupopdan mountain, one of the most amazing places along Karakoram highway.
The Karakoram is a ‘who’s who’ of the world’s tallest peaks –
including K-2, second only to Everest. And its valleys deliver a glut of
glaciers, the longest outside the polar regions, with some creeping
right to the road edge. The 240-kilometer Hunza Valley is an ancient and
remote kingdom in the northeast of Pakistan, nestled close to China and
the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan. The simplicity of village life
belies the valley’s strategic and economic importance. Not so many years
ago, travel through its narrow gorges and high passes was treacherous
as local brigands supplemented meagre agricultural outputs by raiding
silk route caravans, trading slaves and capturing loot.
Pakistan - Amazing Scary Suspension Husaini Bridge
This is a shot of Mt. Tupopdan (6106m) taken at the sunset with new
and old suspension Husaini Bridge in foreground. Probably one of the
more instantly recognizable pictures you'll see in books and promotional
pictures of Pakistan is of the numerous suspension bridges that cross
the rivers in and around Northern Pakistan. And in saying that, one of
the more famous day treks around the region is known as the Two Bridges
trek which as the name suggests sees you crossing two bridges on a five
hour trek in the area surrounding Passu and the neighboring villages
before ending at Borit Lake.The trek itself is probably more of a
pleasant stroll than a strenuous effort but the setting and the scenery
is some of the best I've seen so far. Apart from crossing the two
bridges you meander through farming villages, traverse steep ravines,
cross potato and pumpkin fields as the farmers wave hello and end the
day by enjoying a nice cold drink by an alpine lake.
Pakistan - Fairy Meadows - Circles of Life
The mountain in the picture is Nanga parbat (also known as

Rupal Face rises an incredible 4,600 m (15,000 feet) above its base. To
the north, the complex, somewhat more gently sloped Rakhiot Flank rises
7,000 m (22,966 feet) from the Indus River valley to the summit in just
27 km, one of the 10 greatest elevation gains in so short a distance on
Earth. Nanga Parbat is the fastest growing mountain on Earth and it is
still growing about 7mm a year.
