One of most beautiful and rich cultural region of Pakistan, it can boost tourism economy to sky, we just need to do some basic steps. We need to preserve the fading culture, we need to support their traditions and to promote then across Pakistan. Many foreigners want to come we should facilitate them. .photography is one of amazing people promoting their land, i am thankful to him along with parkash to roam us around the villages.
Its my second visit and i guess i will be coming again as well.

Whats your opinion?

A Village that has its own vibe, the streets are lively with sweet smiles of kids and old people sitting in the sunlight. The farmers are busy in the fields, kids are accompanying you to the different streets. I visited this place in Spring blossom and this made me visit again in fall colors. It’s 1 hour from Khaplu towards siachin. I have always tried to bring new villages to you and to promote tourism but please respect the norms of the area.

Have you heard of this place before?

One word SubhanAllah for the sunset i have witnessed, Sharing my favourite landscapes of autumnal week. I have explored amazing new villages this year and exploring more… My style of photography is different, i use to get into unseen villages unexpored areas and try to promote those villages. I have walked for kilometers in past three days, from one corner of the village to another corner. I met people i met kids. I got most unique frames that i guess i am the first to capture. I am blessed that Almighty Allah always shows his best nature to me. This sunset was Surreal, it was magical.

People use to ask take us with you, i walk a lot all day without food while exploring different areas. So you also do solo travel and you will find way beautiful scenes..

I was using Sony a7r5 with Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II, Sony a7m4 with 70-200mm f2.8 GM II

Are you waiting for my Autumn Photos?

First destination that i started traveling was Naran but after 2011-2012 i stopped staying here due to overly crowded Naran. But the best thing i still love is this PTDC in fall colors. It’s such a unique place out of no where you find amazing yellow colors in NARAN in ptdc garden…

I was in Naran Yesterday and it was amazing to see Naran PTDC colors.

Amazing Hunza, this place is now a must visit in Autumn, winters and spring. Summer people have made it so much populated.

Hunza Valley, i have seen before the concrete structural damage to this valley, i used to walk from japan chowk to Ali abad and towards Altit fort khabasi, i have no words to describe the first autumnal feel in those streets 12 years back. I have so many amazing friends and some are my family alike friends with whom i always discussed to stop this brutal construction that will ruin this beautiful place. And the days has come, Karimabad now almost filled with concrete structure. Who to blame? Policy makers? Locals? Bureaucracy? Don’t know who. No one has the answer. Now it’s 4 years i am not shooting karimabad. Not even staying in karimabad. I stay in upper hunza now gulmit and above villages of gojal.

Our policy makers should do something atleast for the community who have been effected badly with excessive tourists coming there way, locals can’t do this effort but the Govt.

I wish there must be some Planning for tourism Ban construction for next few years in karimabad if there are more tourists let them visit upper hunza and nagar valleys. This is the only way to protect our beautiful destinations.

Do you Agree?

The land of vast deserts, Volcanoes, majestic mud mountains, and stunning blue beaches. A place where rugged islands meet breathtaking terrain and seascapes. It’s where my forefathers lived, and it’s where my heart will always return. I will continue to capture the essence of this beautiful, brave, and hospitable land, sharing its untold Vistas through my lens for years to come. Keep sharing this part of Pakistan with the World. A Heaven for Content creators & Photographers.

Do You Believe Balochistan is Underrated?

Finally, I am now able to print Calendar for all provinces separately. i am sharing some wonderful Photographs from Sindh, A Place i have visited very few times and that for some project work. But this province has a lot to be Photographed. From my recent trip to sindh, now i have drive all the Sindh Coastal Highway to Jewni, Balochistan, 200+ KM sindh and 700+ Kilometer of Makran. Still i have to visit again for proper Photography purposes. Sindh coastal highway with amazing Windmills looks surreal landscape. Check shot no 2 for reference. Flamingos 🦩 are my love too, can’t wait to travel again soon. Makli graveyard, Shahjehan mosque, Thatha, Nagarparkar villages or Sukkur lansdowne bridge there are many flavours of sindh i added in this post. Scroll and see, share with your friends from sindh.

My little friends the ones i interact the most, few of these innocent kids i have captured multiple times and visited their homes with their portrait prints or frames. They are most friendly and most welcoming. I remember many of them and try to visit them again and show then their portraits. The Happiness on their faces seeing themselves is always indescribable.

I will be sharing more portraits. The first Portrait i captured 6 years ago. I have visited her again with my family in 2022. She was grown up and i ll share another portrait of her soon.

I Hope you must be enjoying fall series. Keep sharing
