Download or read book A Trekking Guide to the Karakoram written by Bob Gibbons and published by . This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new guide to trekking in the Karakoram! Nestled in the north of Pakistan, the Karakoram is one of the wildest and most desolate mountain ranges in the world. Tourism here is not as developed as in Nepal, but the people's friendliness and willingness to help trekkers achieve their goals is unquestionable. Traversing turbulent rivers and tumbling glaciers below sheer rock faces and soaring towers, a trek to K2 Concordia will give more than enough memories to last a lifetime. If K2 is not for you, the adjacent Hindu Kush mountains near Gilgit, Hunza and Ishkomen offer more gentle, shorter but also spectacular trekking. Pakistan has been in the news for all the wrong reasons - it's time to put it firmly back on the tourist map where it truly belongs.

Download or read book Blank on the Map written by Eric Shipton and published by Vertebrate Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'As I studied the maps, one thing about them captured my imagination - Across this blank space was written one challenging word, "Unexplored"' In 1937 two of the twentieth century's greatest explorers set off to explore an unknown area of the Himalaya, the breath-taking Shaksgam mountains. With a team of surveyors and Sherpas, Eric Shipton and H.W. Tilman located and mapped the land around K2, the second-highest mountain in the world. It was their greatest venture, and one that paved the way for all future mountaineering in that area of the Himalaya. For Shipton and Tilman, exploration was everything, with a summit a welcome bonus, and Blank on the Map is the book that best captures their spirit of adventure. With an observant eye and keen sense of humour, Shipton tells how the expedition entered the unknown Shaksgam mountains, crossing impenetrable gorges, huge rivers and endless snow fields. There's a very human element to in Shipton's dealings with his Sherpa friends, and with his Balti porters, some of whom were helpful, while some were less so. The expedition uncovers traces of ancient cultures and visits vibrant modern civilisations living during the last days of the British Empire. Only when all supplies are exhausted, their clothes in tatters and all equipment lost do the men finally return home. A mountain exploration classic.
