Nanga Parbat, also called Diamir, one of the world’s tallest mountains, 26,660 feet (8,126 metres) high, situated in the western Himalayas 17 miles (27 km) west-southwest of Astor, in the Pakistani-administered sector of the Kashmir region. The mountain’s steep south wall rises nearly 15,000 feet (4,600 metres) above the valley immediately below, and the north side drops about 23,000 feet (7,000 metres) to the Indus.

The British Alpine climber Albert F. Mummery led the first attempt to ascend the glacier- and snow-covered mountain in 1895, but he died in the attempt.

At least 30 more climbers (mostly German-led) also perished on Nanga Parbat because of the severe weather conditions and frequent avalanches before the Austrian climber Hermann Buhl reached the top in 1953. The Kashmiri name Nanga Parbat is derived from the Sanskrit words nagna parvata, meaning “naked mountain.” Diamir is a local name for the peak and means “king of the mountains.”

Minimarg, Astore.



The renowned Chilam Chowki is the entry point for Minimarg. Chilam at 3800M is also the entry point for Deo Sai National Park and a famous staying point due to availability of small hotels and food.

Traditional Burzil Pass – the famous trade route between Kashmir to China is the gateway to Minimarg. 4000 meters high Burzil pass provides excellent views of grassy slopes filled with flowers. A steep and long slope with interesting surroundings leads to the Minimarg from the Burzil top. Due to heavy snow at the Burzil pass, the Minimarg is accessible from July to September.

Minimarg contains everything which can leave a lasting impression on mind. The multistory wooden cottages give Minimarg a unique identity. Usually built amid the fertile and leveled fields with high lush green mountains in the background, these cottages add perfection to an imaginary like landscape. The mountain slopes are grassy at lower ends and covered with thick pine forests at the tops. A fast flowing stream with its blue waters offers deep serenity.

Minimarg is a good base for exploring Domel, Rainbow Lake and Chota Deo Sai. Domel and Chotta Deo Sai are extremely recommended areas around Minimarg. Heavily forested Domel and magnificently maintained Rainbow Lake are crowns of Minimarg. For enthusiastic trekkers, it is also possible to trek down to Tao Butt in Neelam valley from Kamri.


Due to Minimarg's proximity with the Indian border, I had to restrict my camping and trekking ambitions and was forced (read: glad) to swap my tent for a cosy shell-proof underground bunker.

Minimarg served as the perfect prelude to the spectacular lakes and roving green mountains of Domail.

Balochistan:

Sulaiman Mountains

1. The Sulaiman Mountains dominate the northeast corner and the Bolan Pass is a natural route into Afghanistan towards Kandahar. Much of the province south of the Quetta region is sparse desert terrain with pockets of inhabitable towns mostly near rivers and streams.
2. The capital city is Quetta, located in the most densely populated district in the northeast of the province. Quetta is situated in a river valley near the border with Afghanistan, with a road to Kandahar in the northwest.
3. At Gwadar on the coast the Pakistani government is currently undertaking a large project with Chinese help to build a large port. This is being done partially to provide the Pakistan Navy with another base, and to reduce Pakistan's reliance on Karachi and Port Qasim, which are currently the only major ports.[1] About Balochistan
