This trek has some of the planet’s most amazing
scenery, in a procession of mind-blowing rock towers and shining peaks all the
way to K2 Base Camp
Surely one of those rare treks which a real trekking enthusiast and
mountain lover cannot afford to miss, as it truly is, a once in a lifetime
experience. This physically demanding but technically easy trek to K2 (8611
Mt), locally known as Chogori, involves 12 days of glacier trekking and is one
of the most visually stunning treks offered in Pakistan, unmatched by any other
mountain areas of the world.
It is indeed a pilgrimage to pay respect to Chogori, the King of the
Karakurum Mountains and the second highest peak in the World. The trail leading
to its Royal courtroom is really impressive and befitting, passing through one
of the "World’s biggest museum of shapes and sizes" as described by
one of the visitors. The mind boggling scale and size of the mountains and
monolithic towers of Muztagh (7273 Mts.), Cathedrals (5866 Mts.), Trango (6286
Mts.) and many other giants guarding the way to K-2 along the Baltoro glacier
is unmatched in the world and the panoramic vistas from Concordia, the meeting
of five glaciers and the largest concentration of glaciers in the world outside
the polar regions, are really awe inspiring, almost humbling!

survived even to this day From Kashgar it bifurcated in different directions to
Samarkand in Central Asia crossing the Pamirs and to the sub-continent crossing

Buddhist and interred some of the Buddha’s ashes at Dharmarajika Stupa. From
Taxila Buddhism flourished and spread to Central Asia and on to Tibet, China

Rohtas Fort is a
symbol of the determination and strength of its builder, Sher Shah Srui. The
fort, 12 km in circumference, is located 98 km from Islamabad in a gorge 16 km
North West of Jhelum. This huge fort has 12 gates, 4 palaces, 68 towers, 3 deep
wells and 12 – 18 meters high/3 – 5 meters thick fortification walls. The
construction of the fort started in 1543 and took over three years to complete.
The original intent in building the fort was to block possible entry of
the Mughal Emperor Humayun, who after his defeat had fled to Iran. The second
objective was to punish and defeat the turbulent Gakkhars who had control of
the valley and were allies of the Mughals. The fort could not have been more
strategically located – protected as it was by ravines and the river Kahan.
However, it lost its importance as a frontier garrison when Akbar built the
great fort at Attock on the Indus in the 1850s.

The Salt Range
comprise of two rows of low lying rugged hills that run east to west between
the Soon and Jhelum rivers from the Grand Trunk Road near Jhelum city to the
River Indus near Kalabagh. This area is said to record 600 million years of the
earth’s history. Its name comes from the vast deposits of rock salt exposed and
mined at Khewra. The salt was left behind when the sea, which extended over the
Indus plains and the Potwar plateau, evaporated 600 million years ago. The
region is also known as the “Museum of Geology”.
The
Salt Range Wetlands Complex comprised of a series of adjacent lakes – Kallar
Kahar, Khabbeki, Ucchali, Jhalar and Namal. These lakes provide an important
wintering ground for migratory birds and are core habitat for the endemic
Punjab Urial. Pakistan Wetlands Programme has launched a comprehensive project
for the conservation and protection of these important lakes.
Historically this
region is also very rich. Alexander the Great passed through the Salt Range on
his way to fought battle with Porus on the banks of the Jhelum River in 326 BC.
In the 3rd century BC, this area became part of Ashoka’s Buddhist Empire.
Towards the end of the Buddhist period, in the 6th century AD, there was a
kingdom in the Salt Range called Singhapura, probably centered at Ketas. From
7th to 10th centuries, the Salt Range was part of powerful Kashmiri Hindu
kingdom. Mahmood Ghazni invaded the region in the early 11th century. The local
tribes were converted to Islam at this time.
