Salam brothers

Thinking of travelling to nanga parbat base camp. I have gone through some of the websites and would like to know if anyone has gone there and how was the experience. Also, which of the tour operators should one use? I've gone through a few of these but don't know which one should I go with....

The experience there is always soul soothing. You just fall in love with the calmness, the death trek, the beauty above and last but not least, the imagination and thinking of the people living in these remote areas now. How they can live here. What they do? What they did when there were no road access even.

That is life bro! People survive in the remotest of places :)

If you have been there, would appreciate if you can please give your feedback as to how to go about it.

I'd seriously prefer you to take a route to Chillas from mansehra via KKH Behsham-Dasu-Kohistan route. Might take you 10hrs but you won't regret it later when you come back to Karachi. It might feel hectic sitting in the bus or van or coaster and furious driving might lead you to several heart attacks but seriously this will also prepare you for the Raikot trek to Nanga Parbat. Surely, take a van from Mansehra in early morning after Fajar to 8 AM to chillas via KKH not from Kaghan-naran-babusar road. You'll regret later. However, spend a night in Chillas. Take jeep, or toyota to raikot bridge the next morning at 7-8AM it will take about 1-2 hours I remember. then reaching there, Take jeep from Raikot bridge, you'll see many of them standing there. Take their number as they are booked for 2-way drive. Tell them that you'll coming after 2 days or whenever you want., so he will be there at FairyMeadows right where he will drop you. Note down his name and number. Well, it will take 1 hr-1.5hrs in the jeep till you cross tattu viillage and so. Then there is a walking trek which you'll have to cover. It will take 3-4 hrs straight for us to climb up to fairymeadows. It will already be 4 PM maybe till you reach on the top. So you'll rest enjoy. Most probably you wont see Nanga Parbat's face becuase of low lighting due to cloudy weather. But if you're lucky enough you'll get to see on the first day too.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
