Snow Trek - Siri Pai (continued)

And so our 3 days of trekking up the mountain began....

The beginnings 

Initial bewilderment

Excitement at the start

Enjoying the views

Angular climb with lots to carry and soft snow, challenging much!

Took plenty of breaks

Discovered ourselves

Re-defined exhaustion

Enjoyed the beauty of it all

Loved the experience

Just like Sherpas

Regular breaks were needed

low on oxygen but high on spirit, we kept going

Rallying on!

It seemed we had been going on for days

posed for photos

Step by step, foot by foot we climbed

Through the pain, we carried on

Snow Trek - Siri Pai (continued part 3)

We had lots of trekking done and we learned some pretty nifty things

like a Snow cave

very satisfying

Like really big too

Snow sliding

which was lots of fun

and hilariously tragic (almost) - missed videotaping this, shucks

and more climbing

Making Igloos

Our own version of hide and seek

Had tea with  weetabix morning, noon and night

Learning different types of rope tricks

Found igloos too be uber cool

goofed off in the snow

played competitive and challenging games

Loved every bit of it

Got extremely exhausted

lifetime experiences

but we carried on trekking

Snow trek - Siri Pai - Part 4

Group photos galore

We marched on

High altitude had its impact

Sunrise (moon in site at 10,000 feet

Chilly night in our small havens

Morning sun was a life-saver

Ready for the last ascent

and we marched on towards the very top

when we finally got there

Excitement despite exhaustion

The patriotic spirit

Breathtaking views

Postcard pictures

Natures beauty

Glory in the snow

Igloo atop the world....or so it felt :)

It was a remarkable trip. We made memories that will last forever and friendships too. Highly encourage people to explore Pakistan. Its far too fantastic to miss out on
