A return trip to the Pakistan Karakoram, this time to Rakaposhi base camp.



We have passed Rakaposhi (7,788m/25,551ft) many times previously en route to other treks in the region but this year we stopped instead of passing by. Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us this year and though we had a beautiful start we were tent bound for almost 48 hours during a prolonged snowstorm which curtailed our movement somewhat, so there weren''t as many photographic opportunities as is normal on these trips. These are the best pictures I took and Rakaposhi itself tended to dominate.
