We've grown from a one-man show to a company of over two dozen team-members. From a handful of trips in Hunza to more than 20 adventures spanning the country! What hasn't changed is our passion for making sure you get behind the scenes to experience the real outdoor world in an authentic and sustainable manner.

There is susceptible to posing GLOF hazard in Karakoram unambiguous evidence of large reservoirs ponded by Range. Overall, 887 glacial lakes are identified in 18 glaciers. Kelly (1988) outlines the historical different river-basins of Karakoram Range, out of development and disappearance of Virjerab lake in which 16 lakes are characterized as potentially Hunza due to glacial motion.

In a short span of time, more than 4,500 community associations, namely village and women’s organisations (VWOs), were formed throughout the Region, introducing the local population to democratic governance grounded in civil society-based system. The phenomenon brought about producing significant public and agricultural infrastructures in less than 15 years. As a result, AKRSP turned into a laboratory and model of rural development for many South Asian realities. Underpinned by a qualitative case study and relevant literature review, the present research addresses the process of civil society construction in Gojal (sub-district of Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan), including the role and engagement of AKRSP: introduced by depicting the scheme of traditional social institutions in front of novel patterns of social organisation, the paper delves into the emergence of – formal and informal – civil society organisations (CSOs) in the form of local support organisations (LSOs) as federations of VWOs and related networks, whose establishment in Gilgit-Baltistan (as well as in Chitral) is a recent phenomenon dating back to the mid-2000s. 1 Fazal Amin Beg, the main author of the paper, has academic background in Sociocultural anthropology, and Farsi literature.
