The greatest Persian scholar Abū Rayḥān al-Bīrūnī calculated the circumference of earth here 1000 years ago. He found the Potohar Plateau so flat that he could see the curvature of earth and decided this would be the ideal place to calculate the circumference of earth.His calculation is only 80miles short of modern day digital precision tools calculation and how he did it a millennium ago is mind boggling.

Gondogoro La Trek, Pakistan.


Gondogoro La is a true adventure destination and one needs to be flexible and be prepared for the unexpected!

This pass has one of the most overwhelming mountain panoramas anywhere in the world, with all of the Karakoram's 8000m peaks close at hand. Crossing this pass requires good judgement, commitment, top fitness, prior acclimatisation and basic mountaineering skills of all visitors.

Silk route, on the way to Gilgit, Pakistan.

For centuries, Gilgit has been the stopping point on the Silk Route as caravans journeyed south from Kashgar.
