PROJECT 1 - KARAKORAM EXISTENCE

046-050

046-050

A Balti porter faces Mecca above the Baltoro Glacier to begin evening prayers. The Karakoram Range in Northern Pakistan is the world's harshest and most remote mountain region. The people of Baltistan live in a unforgiving environment that has a fascinating history and culture dating back thousands of years. Besides being a destination for mountaineers, the region has been the subject of a dispute between the neighboring country of India for five decades. As a result, Baltistan remains primarily undeveloped and the area has had to endure a military presence for over a quarter century.
