My Lord Listening you is a kind of intoxication. I have stopped reading books but listen and relisten you. In this way i live few moments in my dream world of trekking.😊
In August 1990, I reached Shuwert from Askole via Biafo-Sim Gang-Braldu glacial system having crossed the 5700 metre high Lukpe La between Sim Gang and Braldu. In 2010 I trekked from Shimshal village to Shuwert to photograph it for another assignment.
Very thorough and informative, Salman saheb. Thank you for all your amazing work! Also, commendable how you stick to or include Urdu words even for technical terms like watershed, make the videos accessible and doing a service to the dying language.
Thank you very much, sir. I do not approve of the current fashion of sprinkling Urdu speech with words of English which have common and known equivalents in Urdu.
I did Shimshal pass trek back in 2014. We reached till the lake but didn't go forward till Shewart. If I had known this before we might have included that in our trip as well. Keep up the good work Salman. So much information. You should be having million of views on your videos.
Thank you very much, Aqib. Sadly, Pakistani travel writing is nothing but rubbish which does not tell you anything of value. I am trying to do my best to make information available.
I think Shimshal is the hardest trekking area in Pakistan. You are constantly going up and down. Up 500 metres, down 600, then up again 700 down 500 and so on it goes on and on. And then there is Chaffchingal north of the Shimshal River! That is simple a killer.
Watched the video attentively. Agreed with you. but with due respects River Barhmaputra and Sind, both originate from Tibetian Platue great lake Mansovara not from somewhere from Central Asia. plz🙏
We ceded the entire Shaksgam Valley to China in 1963. Before that the Indian border went over the Aghil Pass on the right bank of the Shaksgam. I have old maps showing the old border.
@@Daradajee Wrong. It was never controlled by China. You need to read my book "The Apricot Road to Yarkand". In the 1880s China did not want to have anything to do with troublesome Karghalik. Bhutto, Agha Shahi and Ayub ceded a huge chunk of subcontinental country to China in 1963.
Actually pakistan ceded some area from Wakhan corridor to China. Secondly Pakistan ceded areas beyond Karakoram Pass, because of that area today China is at advantage.
