What is the security situation these days in the northern areas? Is it safe for foreigners to travel there?
Always has been. That Nanga Parbat episode was an attempt to damage exactly that image.
I know that actions have been taken to catch the criminals. A trip for next year would be possible if there are no further attacks. What do you say?
This video is about a Singaporean's solo journey down the Karakoram Highway. Coming to Pakistan wouldn't be at the back of my mind few years before this trip. It was only after I read this booked called "3 Cups of Tea" that made me realise Pakistan seemed quite different from the image portrayed by the media.
I read more online and travelers talked about Pakistani hospitality. True enough, just 2 weeks there and I am overwhelmed by the hospitality and human kindness I received. If you haven't felt it before, maybe you should consider a trip here and immerse yourself in this beautiful place.

Here is the story of three friends, Thomas, Horacio and Hernan, travelling in the Karakoram mountain range. They flew their para gliders at high altitude and for long distances in their quest for new record flights in Pakistan.
