Entry

View from our hotel room in a small village at the Karakorum Highway, in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
If I would look more to the left I could see the Nanga Parbat, one of the highest mountains on earth.

We are enjoying the march sun, in front of our room.

After some days rest here we continued our travel to Astore.

We came with a difficult feeling, met outstanding, friendly, hospitable people and we were overhelmed from this awesome mountains in the north.
