I had a Pashtun party to celebrate the anniversary 2x20 - no gifts or alcohol (although alcohol can be found in Gilgit), where are meeting the Hindu Kush, Karakoram and the Himalayas. The place is like a out of control laboratory for mountaineering dreams and views in all directions were like a slap in the face for the first 1-2 days. But after some time and a few hikes mountains seem to have more human and logical dimensions.
