Pakistan
We visited this spectaculair country in 2002 and 2003 with our Toyota Landcruiser. More about this great trip on the old website.
On this page you will find some of the many Kodachrome slides we took, rescanned and newly processed. More to come!

Borith Lake, a superb camping spot not far from the Karakoram Highway (KKH). Our Landcruiser is the with car in the right corner. Our friends drove a grey Landrover. The sharp peaks are the Passu Cones, with the 6106m Tupopdan.

The Passu Cones and the 6106m Tupopdan as seen from the Karakoram Highway.

The Karakoram Highway near Passu and the Passu Glacier.

The Gilgit river near Phander, between Gilgit and the Shandur Pass.

Polo is the most popular sport in the Northern Areas, Pakistan.
Here at the polo ground of Gilgit, the star players have a chat with their fans.

The Gojal area consists mostly of steep barren rocks, but the high altitude valleys like the Shimshal Pamir are beautiful alpine pastures with grass, flowers, yaks and sheep.

The Hunza valley and the massive Rakaposhi (7788 m) and Diran (7266 m) mountains.

Karimabad or Baltit is the former capital of the Hunza Kingdom. The Baltit fort, the ancient guardian of the valley, is beautifully restored and from here you have a superb view of the Hunza valley.

From Karimabad it is a short but steep walk to Ultar Meadow, a small and green meadow surrounded by Ultar (7388 m), Boyohagur (7329 m), Hunza peak (6270 m) and Bubulimating (6000 m). If that's not enough, you have the Ultar icefall which is more than 1000 meter high. An unbelievable scenery for a meadow with a size of 2 kilometer!
