Basho high altitude valley

At around 4000m here, in the Himalaya, looking out across the Indus to the Karakoram Range. The mountains rise steeply and abruptly from the deep and treacherous valley below carved out by the mighty Indus River, near its headwaters. The air is thin, thé sky endless and there is a flush of autumn across the low trees and bushes.
A most remote area reached by terrifying jeep track, requiring a leap of faith as usual. Very untouristed.

I love north Pakistan very much!

A beautiful and relaxing landscape. A beautiful immensity in front of you. The Indus, the frontier of Alexander the Great's expansion. I would love to be there. You are truly intrepid and brave.
