K2 climbers try to master the art of cooking the perfect 'chapati'

South African-born Swiss explorer and adventurer, Mike Horn, is currently in Pakistan in a bid to conquer the second highest mountain in the world, K2.

The climb is likely to be one of the more challenging tasks the mountaineer will endure in his life, but it is a unique competition that seems to be getting the better of Horn. During the expedition, Horn and his group of explorers take a break from a hard day of tackling the K2, ”the mountain of our dreams”, and take part in a hilarious ‘chapati‘ competition.

They are first taught to knead flour by their cook, Khalil, and later to make perfectly round chapatis. Mike posted a video on his Facebook account on Monday about them having fun making chapatis.



Horn has been documenting his adventure on his Facebook and Twitter accounts. We suggest you follow him if you want to make the perfect chapatis at high altitudes.

Every time I see K2, the feeling of touring Pakistan climbs Everest and the visa officer at Pakistan embassy kick me down to ground :(

Over 6 weeks we have traveled many miles, seen many things and come to the end of the road. Now we walked to K2 basecamp. For all of you who have been following our journey - this is where the real adventure begins. My boyhood dream of climbing K2 is here. ‪#‎DrivenToExplore‬
See the series of videos in my playlist - "The Road to K2".

Damn that background, only if Pakistan was a fully developed country, this placed could be a truly heaven ! Looks like a fun track to drive or drift around.

You can't take a car there and you won't ever be able to, developed or not (thank God for that). Maybe you could drop it off from a helicopter only to see how long it would take for it to disappear under the world's largest glacier outside of the poles. That is the Baltoro and it only allows people to walk over it.....at times....

And the people who know what it is, understand it, find it heaven exactly as it is. They come from all over the world and then trek 9 days to see this place; The last true wilderness left on the planet.

I know i can't take a car there, it's just a fantasy, drifting on those snowy planes.

That's what I tried to explain, those are not planes, cars cant go there. This is what it looks like from close up,

This is one of the most, if not the most, serious treks in the world. Takes serious skill to traverse this place.
