Most regular 2x2 vehicles will reach low incline locations without issue, as long as there is no rain, snowfall etc. But many beautiful locations cannot be reached at all without 4x4 cars. This is our humble effort to assist the public and travelers. Please let us know of any mistakes or discrepancies on email: [email protected] Call us: +92-42-35959054. SAFE TRAVELS! SS AA YY RR ..

Abstract Soil pH is an important factor for desirable crop productions. However, due to soil amendments it is changing and negatively impacting on agricultural produce and production. A total of 162 samples tested from three different land use classes (agriculture, barren and commercial) collected from four valleys of district Gilgit in Gilgit-Baltistan province of Pakistan. Different valleys and land use classes surveyed revealed a differential scope of pH level. However, in general entire soils are alkaline and pH ranges from 8.35 – 9.03 (average 8.65). Similarly, agriculture and barren lands in Gilgit town, Danyor and Sultanabad show relatively close affinity (average 8.52 and 8.62 respectively) as compared to Oshikhandas (average 9.02 and 9.03). Continuous unplanned use of chemical fertilizers and commercial wastes are continuously influence soil pH in the area which need a regular follow-up by the Government agriculture department. At the moments, farmers are totally ignorant about soil health status and such a technique or facility to monitor these parameters to optimize their agricultural productivity.

The data comes from field work, in-depth interviews and focused group discussions in four valleys including the Bagrot valley near Gilgit. The high mountain communities of the Karakoram have lived in agro-pastoral settings with unique socio-cultural legacy and limited mobility. Dwellers of the valleys have received outside interventions cautiously with a gradual approach and have been able to appropriate the development projects in their contexts with varying degrees of resistance. The dynamics have however changed ensuing the culmination of local kingdoms replaced by government institutions, opening of the Karakoram highway and intervention by Non-Governmental Organizations such as AKRSP. Another dimension of development is the evolution of an institutional mechanism grounded within the valley.

E-mail: [email protected] 3Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Rosenstein 1, D-70191 Stuttgart, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The distribution of Apteroloma anglorossicum (Semenov, 1890), A. harmandi (Portevin, 1903) and A. sillemi Jeannel, 1935 in central Asia and along the Himalayas is summarized, and the collecting circumstances and ecology of all three species from Gilgit District, Pakistan are described in detail. Revised diagnoses of all three species are provided, habitus and important morphological structures are illustrated, and available types have been examined. Apteroloma jankovskii Semenov and Znojko in Semenov, 1932 is confirmed as junior subjective synonym of A. anglorossicum. Apteroloma hein- zi Schawaller, 1991 is newly treated as a junior subjective synonym of A. harmandi. Key words: Coleoptera, Agyrtidae, Apteroloma, taxonomy, new synonymy, distribution, Palaearctic region Introduction Agyrtidae are a small family of staphylinoid beetles, with more than 60 valid extant species in eight genera, distributed in temperate areas of the northern hemisphere (with one genus known from New Zealand); most of the species display a relict or disjunct distribution pattern (Newton 2005).
