Back in 2001

I had the honor of serving as the Liaison Officer for the Austrian mountaineering expedition of Mrs. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner on the Diamer Face of Nanga Parbat in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

Mrs. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is one of the world's greatest mountaineers and became the first woman to successfully climb all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks without the use of supplemental oxygen.

It was a great privilege to host Mrs. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner in Pakistan, particularly in the magnificent mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan. I am proud to have been part of her remarkable mountaineering journey and to have contributed, in my role as Liaison Officer, to her successful expedition. by @hidayathussain.1

Me Back in 2013

11 September 2013

I had the honor of meeting Reinhold Messner, the legendary Italian mountaineer, at Gilgit Serena Hotel.

Reinhold Messner made history in 1986 by becoming the first person to climb all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks without the use of supplemental oxygen—one of the greatest achievements in the history of mountaineering.

It was a memorable privilege to meet one of the world's greatest mountaineers.

My son, Mr. Fazal Wadood, was also with me on this special occasion, making the moment even more meaningful and unforgettable. by @hidayathussain.1

A Memorable Moment from 2005

On my far right is Mr. Rehmat Nabi Sahib—my former boss, a close friend, and the former President of the Tour Operators Association of Gilgit-Baltistan.

He is a senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) worker who contested elections from Raikot, Diamer, and is well known among the party's senior leadership.

Mr. Rehmat Nabi is the owner of Fairy Meadows Tours and the renowned Raikot Sarai, Fairy Meadows, Diamer, one of the world's most famous tourist destinations.

He has made an outstanding contribution to the promotion and development of tourism in Pakistan, particularly in Gilgit-Baltistan. His dedication and vision have helped showcase the region's breathtaking natural beauty to visitors from around the world.

On my left is Mr. Ashraf Aman Sahib, the first Pakistani to climb K2 (8,611 meters above sea level). On 15 December 1994, he invited me to join the Nanga Parbat (8,126 meters) South Face Winter Expedition, where he served as the Liaison Officer.

Mr. Ashraf Aman is widely regarded as a pioneer of adventure tourism in Pakistan, particularly in Gilgit-Baltistan. He also played a significant role in bringing international organizations, including the EVK2CNR Italian Project, and several other development initiatives to Pakistan. His contributions to mountaineering, tourism, and regional development have left a lasting legacy.

Both Mr. Rehmat Nabi Sahib and Mr. Ashraf Aman Sahib are my teachers, mentors, and close friends. I have had the honor of learning from these two legends.

This photograph was taken in 2005 outside the Fairy Meadows Tours office, adjacent to Jamal Hotel Gilgit, almost opposite Park Hotel on Airport Road, Kashrote, Gilgit.
