The expedition will start from Shimshal Valley, a frontier village in Pakistan, situated in the extreme Karakorum. It segregates the Pak-China border and dividing point of Central Asia. Shimshal Village is well known for its reputed high passes, rich culture, and hospitality. The village is situated at 3300m above sea level. The temperature drops to -20 C in winter. Having this extreme weather in the village, one can imagine the extreme conditions and cold that would be on the mountains in the massive Karakorum!
The expedition base camp will be established at Shujrave around 4486 m. From Shujrave, these mountains will be attempted. The expected temperature will be approximately -30 C to -40 C.

A documentary of the expedition will be made for a leading TV channel and those who would be interested in airing it. The expedition seeks to educate youth about mountain sports and to bring awareness of and promotion of women’s adventure. The second theme of the expedition is to send a positive image to the world that the country is peace loving and everyone is welcome to explore Pakistan. It is also our aim to expose Pakistan adventure potential areas; to show the world that Pakistan is rich culturally, historically, and that its mountains are unmatched in the world in the beautiful and peaceful Karakorum, Hindukush and Himalaya. These huge mountain ranges are heaven for trekkers, photographers, culture observers, historians, researchers, film makers, and mountain and nature lovers. The adventure potential area of the Pakistan Karakorum is the most beautiful and soul attracting. It is one of the best tourist attraction points in the world. The roughness, beauty and fierce towering mountains are awe inspiring for all walks of life and interest. The variety of adventure has been experienced by many world class adventure lovers, trekkers, and culture tour makers. It is our hope to also give exposure to Pakistan and its wonderful and beautiful mountains, valleys, glaciers, and to also encourage youth adventure and the top most objective of the promotion of women’s adventure.
