Dear fellows, finally Chitha Katha Lake became our victim and we have just visited successfully this lake under heavy snow and glaciers, wanted to post on pakwheel since many days but due to studies couldn?t manage. Many misfortunes took place during this tour. And after this tour an extreme sad news of death of an extremely adventurous Person and Owner of Nature of Explorer Travel and tour company Mr. Waqas Siddique, We bought many hiking stuff from him and when we were purchasing stuff for Chita Katha, He was leaving for Gondogoro La K2, Base camp. We came back by the grace of Allah Pak, but he couldn't due to an accident and fall from glacier at Gondogoro La , May His soul rest in peace. He was an extremely loving and wonderful person. We want to dedicate this tour to him specially .............
