Gee janab pata hai this is according to your own perspective what you have seen and thought but since you have traveled a lot and have seen almost all the famous places and is now on route to other less familiar locations as well, so your opinion has become very important now cos you are most traveled and informed person like some others. Issy lye main nay socha kissy sayanay banday say puchtey hain. thnks Bro. you have been so kind.

and since you have been so obedient and intelligent student you get 10 out of 10 even though it is almost impossible in a subject like maasharty-aloom.

Asif bhai! i have not done any trek towards Batura side. Just seen it from KKH and from Shimshal trek (while coming back from Shimshal towards Passu). There are some stunning scenes of Batura peak while coming from Shimshal side.

Anyhow, as u have seen many other peaks and that too very closely, so u can be much better judge abt most beautiful peaks.
