These pictures were taken near the Khunjerab National Park post. In order to camp here, you need to obtain a permit from Gilgit!

Reached Sost and it was time to eat after a great time in extreme cold at Khunjerab Top!

Biryani at Sost! I loved it

Going back to Gilgit!

Stopover at Glacier Breeze Restaurant, famous for its apricot cake! Loved the views of Passu cones from there. A MUST visit for people going Upper Hunza!

Attabad Lake while coming back. Didn't spend much time as it was getting late and we had to reach Gilgit so I could buy the NATCO ticket

7,788m Rakaposhi! I wanted to come back and visit its Base Camp which I did after 4 months(August 2017) and that too in a single day (Diran Guest House Minapin - Taghafari and back). If I find the time, I'll make a thread about it as well

Spent the night at Pak-China Gateway Hotel near the NATCO station. Rent was 600 with two beds. A nice hotel with WiFi as well. I had a nice sleep and I left for Abbottabad at 6:30 in the morning on the NATCO Daewoo Service. Ticket was 2200 with a complimentary meal included at PTDC Besham.

Beautiful view of Gilgit Valley from the station. Loved the clouds and sun!

These were the last pictures I took. Killer Mountain Nanga Parbat from KKH! I was in love with the mountain and I came back in November 2017 on a solo trip to Astore and visited the Herrligkofer Base Camp to witness the mighty Rupal Face, the highest rock and ice wall on Earth!

I reached Abbottabad at night around 9:45 pm. It was the end of a memorable trip. It was my first solo trip and it felt really good. I hope you guys liked it and since it was my first post on PakWheels, I'd appreciate if you could give me some feedback. I might do more of these!

I would summarise the above tale as "Majestic photography skills"
I hope you will continue this trend in future also. (Y)
