I *love* this series of images. Don't know why exactly, but in my mind, they are the best. Superb.
I have to wonder if JRR Tolkien visited this place before writing the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Mordor for sure.
The entire TR was captivating, I quite enjoyed it, especially since I only found it after it was completed and I could read it in its entirety. Well done.

The book was by Galen Rowell. I thoroughly enjoyed it and tried to base some of my photographic compositions on his (such as the Trango Towers ones).

Thanks for the detailed report - I'm just starting my research for a trip next year, so you've given me plenty of great tips and ideas!
What about Gondogoro La, I read somewhere that this year it is opened again. Do you have any news regarding it.

Gondogoro La was open this year. Numerous groups went over, although we did hear of at least one incident of rock fall/avalanche related injuries when a group descended down the wrong line.

Definitely should try to do Gondogoro if possible. Makes for a great loop and huge views from the pass - as long as you are a decent acclimatizer. Most of our group felt pretty miserable that high even after spending weeks getting there. I did it way back in 1994. Despite the steepness, steps were already formed and so it wasn't too bad. Porters had sneakers (and a rope).

what is a good travel insurance for this trek for a Canadian citizen? I basically want it just in case we need emergency evacuation. Can Ido this trek independently or need to go through a Travel agent.

I used RoamRight Insurance's Adventure Package, which covers you up to 18,000ft.
I booked the flights to and from Islamabad myself. The trekking company should be able to do the rest (call them and talk it over).
