    great photos :) like everyone said it shows a side of Pakistan that isn't publicized too often in the news

    so where/how/when would you recommend to visit Pakistan? be interested to know :)

    Hey thanks for kind words.

    If you want to visit Mountains and love autumn this is the time, If you will like to see Deosai Planes (17000 feet) with beautiful flowers and Brown bear May to August is best time. If you will like to see Deserts and explore streets and ancient buildings best time starts now, as in summer they are really very HOT.

    If you have security concerns, well let me tell you these are most peaceful times in past 11 years ! I see lots of people from Europe visiting Pakistan especially north of Pakistan where K2, Lady finger peak and Fairy Meadows are located.

    As you know travel is incomplete without meeting people

    Life is very hard for these folks, they spend whole winters poisoned in their homes underneath snow ! A lot families die due to landsliding.

    I understand your desire
    I understand your desire not to have your images ripped off but, the bold "PROOF" over every image is very distracting.

    All I can see is the word PROOF. I'm sure the photos are nice but the watermark is VERY annoying. I made it through about 3 images before I couldn't take it anymore.
