We begin our journey in Islamabad and proceed to the beautiful alpine lush green Kaghan valley. This valley rivals any in the American Rockies and the European Alps. From here we drive over the Babusar Pass and enter another realm of the Indus gorge. This is where the monsoons are unable to unleash their torrents as they have exhausted all of their moisture in valleys like the Kaghan. The monsoon clouds have a difficult time going over the Himalayas on their northward journey. The next part of our journey takes us to Fairy Rama Lake in Astore valley, Naltar valley, Hunza valley. From Rama Lake we travel westwards to Gilgit and Karakorum/Hindukush mountains
