Welcome

Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been. You've been in the pipeline, filling in time, Provided with toys and scouting for boys. You bought a guitar to punish your ma, And you didn't like school, And you know you're nobody's fool, So welcome to the machine.

Satpara Lake







Satpara Lake:
This lake is the main (and only) water source for Skardu. The water is transmitted to the houses as is. There is no filtration or processing plant. There are signs around that tell the tourists to avoid littering in and around the lake. It surely is beautiful and we should try to keep it that way.

Sunset @ Skardu







Sunset @ Hapakun



Sunset at Hapakun:
Hapakun was a camping site on the trail to the Tagafari base camp on the steep slopes of the Rakaposhi Mountains. After a couple of hours of trekking up the mountain we made camp at Hapakun. There we had this marvelous view of the sunset.
