Traveling accross China and Pakistan for four weeks with 16 other people allows plenty of time to get to know one another.  All of the other travelers had great stories of other trips to be put on the list for future travel.

Anas from Indus Guides helps chart the way over the top.

Thank goodness no one was hurt slipping on the ice and Phil got his lens cap back.
