Friends of Kashmir, welcome in Blankonthemap, the Northern Kashmir web site !

Much of mountaineer climb on the giant of Baltoro whereas not far, the superb valley of Charakusa, Khridas, Nangma, Homboro and Kondus be populate of isolated towers and superb granite spires which remain out of the world. Charakusa valley opened only since 1984 and that its access is strictly regulated because of the militarized zone of very close Siachen area, always disputed between India and Pakistan.
Exploration is continuing, when spy satellites furrow the skies, at the time where whoever can consult high quality satellite images from home. Remember that the majority of incredible rock towers and rised enormous pillars of the area were discovered by Westerners only fifteen years ago. This page is devoted to the one of the greatest geographical discovery of these last years, of these valleys which for some like Homboro and Khridas were discovered 5 years ago! It's not only for political reasons but only for geographical reasons (difficult access) and thanks to mountaineers whom one could also describe as exploring adventurers. We have choice to continue to furrow the trodden ways, or to leave it ! I invite you to do by consulting this web page.

Much of mountaineer climb on the giant of Baltoro whereas not far, the superb valley of Charakusa, Khridas, Nangma, Homboro and Kondus is growing by isolated towers and superb granite spires which remain out of the world. Charakusa valley opened only since 1984 and that its access is strictly regulated cause of the militarized zone of very close Siachen area, always disputed between India and Pakistan.
Exploration is still continuing, when spy satellites furrow the skies, at the time where whoever can consult high quality satellite images from home. Remember that the majority of incredible rock towers and rised enormous pillars of the area were discovered by Westerners only fifteen years ago. This page is devoted to the one of the greatest geographical discovery of these last years, of these valleys which for some like Homboro and Khridas were discovered 5 years ago!
