HFF from stone fences
Looking towards Masherbrum (7821 meters) in the Karakoram range, from the Hushe village. This is one of the most isolated villages in Pakistani Baltistan and was totally impoverished and lacking schools, health care, sanitary facilities of any kind. More recently international climbers come in increasing numbers to tackle K2, Masherbrum…and a host of other 7-8000+ peaks. Thus there have been some improvements for locals, but it is still very much a simple subsistence living in a very harsh, elevated environment. It is difficult of access and women here are still wary and turn away and cover faces when strangers or men are about.
The blokes, meanwhile, jostle to be photographed. Many of them supplement income with work as porters and cooks for international climbers, while the women work all day in the fields, and endlessly in their very simple homes.
Without irrigation channels like these, which carry glacier and snow melt, all of these very elevated valleys in North Pakistan would be quite barren, as they are otherwise high altitude desert,
Have a cracker of a weekend

HFF und ein schönes Wochenende, Diana!
HFF Diana et un bon WE aussi.
HFF, Diana and wishing you a lovely weekend.
I understand: here life is simple and also poor .... who knows if the growing number of climbers can create a benefit or a detriment to this pristine environment.
You certainly can give a more precise and authoritative answer than mine!
All the best
Fabio
