The Apricot cake is worth the climb

We went to Glacier Breeze Cafe and Restaurant for dinner on 6.7.2018, because we wanted to get one of the famous apricot cakes on our way back from a visit to Passu village, where we spent some time with a relative of the Chef.

Our Trip to Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

Since, we were travelling together for the first time we weren't looking for adventure, tourism. We were just looking to getaway, relax and spend some quality time together.

Backpacking in Pakistan is a one of a kind adventure; this is a country which will raise many an eyebrow and steal many a heart. The only danger with backpacking in Pakistan is not wanting to leave. Before I went backpacking in Pakistan, I was unsure what to expect. Pakistan travel advice from my government is basically one gigantic red X. The media has painted the country in an unfortunate light, a fact most Pakistanis are painfully aware of. Wherever I went, I was greeted by friendly faces and incredibly helpful people. Combine that with relatively cheap travel costs, plentiful treks and truly stunning mountains and you have one hell of a great backpacking destination.
