I have always considered myself an intrepid traveller. The thirst for exploring places in remote areas has been in me since I was a kid, and I am glad to have been able to travel to some of the best destinations as an adult.

Some of these include the Spiti Valley in India, the Tadrart in Algeria, the Pamir mountain ranges in Tajikistan and even the Antarctica, all of which I thought were very exciting. Then I met a like-minded traveller who told me about Gilgit Baltistan in northern Pakistan, and highly recommended that I go there.
