Inside the real Pakistan : The mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan

In April 2014, three friends embarked on a journey to Gilgit-Baltistan, the northernmost territory of Pakistan, where Karakoram range and western Himalayas converge. Home to five of the world’s ’eight-thousanders’, the region is one of raw beauty with snow-capped peaks rising from the valley floor. Our journey takes us from Gilgit to Passu, via the Hunza Valley, passing through Karimabad, Nagar, Gulmit, and across Attabad Lake.
