Hereby I would like to say a few words in favour of our guide Amanullah Khan. I the 13 days he has been working with us, Ive learned to know how as a very experience, knowledgeable and reliable guide. Moreover he is a n agreeable person to work with, which is very important if you cooperate for so many days. Amanullah Khan is a very worthy guide and he deserves the greatest trust and respect.

June 2007 Baltoro K2 BC and Ghondogoro La Trek On the 15th June 07 we travelled with Karakorum Explorers to K2 Base camp. Not knowing what to expect, we found it to be an amazing experience, breathtaking views and amazing surroundings. Everything was so well organised, we were so well looked after. If anyone has any reservations about going to Pakistan, Don,t forget the media hype and have the adventure of a lifetime, we certainly did. Thanks Karakorum Explorers Ruth Davis N.

Here I send you the recommendation. This is about the amazing days we stood with your guides. Promise: they are fantastic people. I'm sorry of my English: maybe the recommendation is quite short but it is difficult for me to write a good English composition. Thank you for all. And, please, answer me to know that your received it well. Recommendation: We made a trekking last July from Chilas until the base camp of Nanga Parbat. Our trip was a tribute to Joan Colet, a Catalan alpinist that died ten years ago after climb this mountain. We had a really nice days and we think that our guides and porters were fantastic. We were lucky to meet some of the people that help the ten years ago expedition and all of them remembered what happened then and helped us in our tribute purpose. I hardly recommend this trekking, that only few people choose: the natural views are heart stopping and the calm and purity of this remote place are amazing. You can totally disconnect from your daily life and spend some special days discovering another world. Talking about the food, maybe it can shock you the first day. At least in our case, it was completely different of our habitual food. But, I promise that our cook was excellent: he always surprised us with different dishes and (this was the only problem for us) he really liked the spices.

September 2006 We were pleased to see a smiling face at the Islamabad airport. Now it is already time to say good bye. We know very little about your country and your people but in such a short time you have shown us so much, learned us so much and told us so much, we are almost certain it will not have been the last time. You know so much, your driver so perfect, you always surprise us with unexpected stops (like the trout fish you bought for us along the KKH!!) Now it is very difficult for us to find a good way to express our thanks for all of this. How can we be grateful to you? Roger Marlier - Brigitte Van de Vijver Belgium roger.marlier@skynet.be

Dear Nasir, Our first days are very strange at home, people on the streets are not waving to us, smiling at us, like they did in Pakistan. Thank you for the trip, we enjoyed ourselves immensely, the guide was fantastic and very efficient, the driver was fantastic and very careful, and we miss your little jeep already. We felt safe and secure all the time, despite what our media says about the situation there, and everybody was very friendly. Now we are trying to convince our friends to accompany us to Pakistan next year for the next trip, but unfortunately due the political situation everybody thinks we are crazy! I hope that everything will calm down and you will have all the tourists you deserve. Thanks again for the excellent service, and feel free to use my name and e-maild address on your web page. Best regards: Julianna Mayer

June/July 2006 Karakorum Hindukush Jeep Safari It is now nearly three weeks since the great adventure in your country, and still I can´t stop thinking about it every day. We had a really fantastic time and I am sure everyone would say the same. Thank you both for your care and such a good itinerary. Everyone we had with us just went out of their way to help and make our trip as enjoyable as possible. It has been so hard to tell people what we did, saw etc. I will just have to encourage more people to come and experience your wonderful country. Don´tworry I have started already!! It was a great pleasure meeting you both and I hope that one day I can return to those beautiful and wild mountains of yours. Thank you again for an adventure never to be forgotten!!!! With best wishes Caroline Buchan Australia

"Dear Nasir, All our party thanks you and our guide Arman very much for the great job you did. Our expedition to the outskirts of Chitral and Hunza is the best walk we have ever made. I especially appreciated the freedom and amplitude that you gave us : I had a genuine feeling of taking part in the organisation of the trip, and not just being a tourist following his guide. I regret that our guide had to cancel the first three days over Shah Jinali Pass because the porters’ fees did not meet your expectations. I had a very friendly and quiet time in the Northern Areas and the North-West Frontier Province. Everyone was warm and welcoming to us. The best is that we did not see any other visitor for two weeks. For you it must be a pity, but that is exactly what I was looking for in Pakistan ! I hope to come back to Chitral with my family, and maybe climb one of those summits I contemplated during the trip. Best regards, Jan Laarman, Lille, France"

June 2007 Baltoro K2 BC and Ghondogoro La Trek We recently went on a 22 days trek to Baltoro Glacier/K2 Base camp and Ghondogoro La with the company Karakorum Explorers. The trek was very well organised, guide was very professional, friendly and committed to us and our needs, making our experience in Pakistan most enjoyable and unforgettable, a once in a lifetime adventure. Our guide Mr. Amanullah is a credit to his company and country, he is a hard working, honest, intelligent man and could not have asked for anyone better. James David Smith N. Ireland

16/07/2001 To Whom it may concern Nasir Hussain, Karakorum Explorers Nasir was our tour leader on the inaugural Exodus K2 and Ghondogoro La Trek, basically from Skardu to Hushe - Ghondogoro La - Concordia - Askole and back via Skardu to Islamabad and as a regular monthly Exodus client I consider myself qualified to place him amongst the best. His knowledge of the Karakorum ranges must make him the Karakorum Kid and patience in spelling every mountain and glacier to us was exemplary. His planning of every detail on th etrip and ability to deal with unforeseen emergencies left nothing to chance. On the trail there seemed to be no one who didn,t know himm or give him their respect and apart from oviously being very ppular with all has an extremely personable and likeable nature. On a personal note, he was always there when you needed him, whether to lend a helping hand at gushing river crossings or dodgy srambles where the path had disappeared or to anser my inteminable Questions for which I was really grateful. I wish him and Karakorum Explorers every success in the future. Exodus Bob Rober Thomson 11 Calderwood Road NewLands Glasgow G43 2RP Scotland 16.07.2001

Comments on Concordia + K2 TREK July/Aug 2001 1. Overall very very good leading and guiding from Kazim and his team. Very considerate to the group for people walking at different paces and over difficult terrain. 2. Generally very good and interesting food for evening meals and breakfast. Arrif was very good as the guide too, especially on the long K2 base camp day

K2+Concordia Trek very well organised Kazim excellent at getting things done efficiently. Very good bus transfer + very very good driver on the KKH.

I have completed teh K2 base camp & concordia trek with Exodus. Kazim was our head guide. He proved to be a very competent and reliable guide. I had every confidence in him & his decisions. He was good company. I would be very please to have him as the head guide on any future trek that I may undertake. DR. W.O.Robert FFARCS

September 8, 2001 From the moment I contacted Karakorum Explorers by mail, I have been extremely happy with their service. I think the tour they organised for me gave me the broadest view of Northern Pakistan within my limited time frame. They have been extremely professional, prompt, courteous and helpful during my stay here. My guide Nasir was well educated on the region and its history. My visit to Pakistan was exceptional. I couldn,t have done any of this without Karakorum Explorers help. I would use them again and recommend their services to anyone visiting the area. I had a great time. Thanks. 32 Elmwood St. Valley Stream, NY 11581 USA

To whom it may concern: Nasir Hussain Karakorum Explorers Nasir was our tour guide on the "K2 and the Gondogoro La" trek from 23/6/01 to 17/07/01. I found him a most pleasant and polite individually who was both knowledgeable and competent. In particular he patiently answered our many queries, whilst remaining unflustered by unexpected difficulties along the way. He was clearly well know and like by porters and staff, and organised the large number of support staff unobtrusively and well. In addition it was clear he was know and respected by many whom we met along the trail. I can unhesistatingly recommend him.
