The whole Hunza Nagar view was right in front of me while i was sipping tea at Hunza Baltit Inn in Karimabad. I could see High Rakaposhi peak on my left while Ultar peak and Baltit fort were shining on my right. The sun was already about to set, sky was getting darker and dim [...]

After a good local balti meal, i asked Chef Abbas of  “Khaplu Palace & Residence“ if he has something sweet to offer with local touch. “We eat lots of apricots. Baltistan is famous for dried apricots. It keeps us warm since its cold throughout year. I can make Apricot mousse cake for you.” Said Abbas. APRICOT MOUSE CAKE? The [...]

First it becomes part of my travel memories and secondly of course if you are traveling and hungry, anything will taste good. This hotel, not so fancy but happened to serve us the best oil filled parathas, fried eggs [...]

I remember how i first started collecting maps, guide books and every relevant content to travel back in my childhood. I really wanted to travel. Had never traveled that much back then. It was always my first priority. Every single book shop that i visited, i’ll spend whole time of mine at the travel and photography [...]

  Being one of the nominations, like every other nominee in the auditorium, all i was waiting for them to announce my set of awards. It was like a numb feeling of whats happening around me. I could not feel it. I could not wait for the moment they announce the winner.  It’s not like [...]
