The fabulous knot of mountains where the Western Himalaya run into the Karakorum, the Pamirs, the Hindu Kush, and the Pir Panjal, has more rivers, climbs, treks, history, politics and warfare than could ever be encompassed in a single book.

There are still many hundreds of kilometers of first descents left in Pakistan.
