Our Past Expeditions and Unforgettable Memories
Expedition
Twenty one days to Concordia
Six guests, fourteen days on ice, and a weather window that held just long enough for the Gondogoro La.
Journal
A full moon over Masherbrum
A night at 4,300 metres, and why we now carry insulated sleeping tents on every Baltoro departure.
Field Notes
Kutwal Lake, out of season
We ran Haramosh three weeks later than usual. Notes on what changed and why the late window may be better.
Crew
The people who carry it
The Balti crew who walk every Baltoro departure, how loads are set and why we cap weight below the limit.
Trek
K2 Base Camp & Gondogoro La
Some people spend their holidays by a pool. Others walk for nearly two weeks across a glacier to stand beneath a mountain that has no idea who they are.
Trek
Fairy Meadows & Nanga Parbat
Let us manage expectations. Nobody at Fairy Meadows hands you a welcome drink with a wand.
Travel Guide
Skardu Travel Guide
Most destinations pick a specialty. Mountains, or lakes, or deserts. Skardu looked at the list and said, 'Yes.'
Trek
Shogran & Makra Peak
There is something suspiciously relaxing about Shogran. Maybe it is the pine smell.
Trek
Musa ka Musalla Trek
From a distance, Musa ka Musalla looks like a gentle green giant. Almost friendly. Like a mountain that would help you carry your groceries.
Travel Guide
Neelum Valley Travel Guide
Some places look beautiful in photographs. Neelum Valley makes photographs look like they are not trying hard enough.
Trek
Ganga Choti Trek
Not every mountain adventure needs ten days, three porters and a backpack heavier than your younger sibling.
Adventure
Paragliding at Khanpur Lake
There is a moment just before takeoff when your brain asks a reasonable question: 'Are we really doing this?
Day Trip
Swaik Lake, Kallar Kahar
Somewhere among the dry hills of the Salt Range, a small lake is trying very hard to keep a low profile. It is failing.
Travel Guide
Swat & Kalam Travel Guide
People call Swat the Switzerland of the East. That is unfair to Swat.
Hike
Nathia Gali & Mukshpuri Hike
Not everyone dreams of climbing K2. Some of us simply want a beautiful forest, fresh air and a plate of pakoras at the end.
Winter
Ratti Gali Lake in Winter
You have probably seen Ratti Gali in summer. Turquoise water, green meadows, wildflowers and about four hundred people taking the same photo.
Culture
Chilam Joshi Festival
Imagine a valley where spring is not just a change in weather. It is a reason to sing, dance and share milk with everyone you love.
