Bidding fairwell to the beautiful Hunza valley this morning we headed for the long scary drive through the mountains to Skardu
The route took us on a journey with the Himalayas on one side and the Karakoram on the opposite side divided in the middle by the Indus River

Today’s highlight was very special
Standing at a spot where three of the biggest mountain ranges in the world meet

Lost in the mighty Himalayas with views also of the mighty Karakoram 🗻
Flew over Nanga Parbat, 9th highest mountain earlier today on route to Skardu. Met another guy who had climbed Broad Peak this summer.
Had hoped to catch a glimpse of K2 but it’s hidden from view at Skardu
Will be keeping an eye out as we journey north to Gilgit Baltistan and the Hunza area
Such amazing beauty ❤️

After a nights torrential downpours the hills were alive with the sounds of gushing water
Benbulben stayed doggedly under the heavy thick cloud combined with fairly constant rainfall and sodden terrain.
For one brief fleeting moment at the head did the valley appear 😍
It was one of those days you might have chosen to stay under cover
In spite of it all we headed home not sensing defeat, instead a feeling of achievement 💪💪💪
Well done to all
