Glaciers and streams of Karakoram Pakistan:
The Karakoram is a large mountain range spanning the borders between Pakistan, India and China, located in the regions of Gilgit–Baltistan. In the last ice age, a connected series of glaciers stretched from western Tibet to Nanga Parbat, and from the Tarim basin to the Gilgit District.
Meanwhile, the formations of long Karakoram glaciers are magnificent and are linked by various passes connecting one with another. It is really fascinating to traverse one through another, which needs you to cross over sometimes impeding watersheds into somewhat new areas. It is the combination of route-finding in complicated ice flows, planning complex logistics for necessary transport, and above all the grandeur of circumnavigation into faraway high mountains. Walks through glaciers already known would be a kind of mountain trekking but not exploration
