Naveed Khan is a man on a mission — a mission to make Pakistan look great again. Khan, who now runs PakistanOnFoot, has embarked on what can only be termed an epic journey of three months from Khunjerab Pass to Karachi – on foot.
Funds raised from the walk are all set to go to a good cause – a project that would enable under privileged and remote communities to fend for themselves during times of natural disasters.
After a round of selfies with military officers at the Pakistan-China border, Khan mustered the courage and took the first step in his incredible 2,300 kilometre journey to Karachi on October 1.
We follow Khan’s 2,300 kilometre three-month journey from Khunjerab Pass to Karachi coast.
Walking through historic Lahore
After walking through the scenic routes of the northern parts of the country, Naveed arrives in Lahore. From walking through the city streets to exploring the grand architecture; he captures the city’s magnificent mosques and culture.
Halfway through the journey
Khan is halfway through the mammoth journey and captures this spectacular sunset at Khanpur Lake. Calm waters and a stunning sunset gives Khan a moment of serenity.
Babusar Pass
Surrounded by nature and spectacular landscapes, Khan witnesses a light show, one of many, between Babusar Pass and Lulusar Lake.
Arrival in Naran
As the journey continues, Khan takes a walk through the Naran market. “This is after the season had ended and probably the last time I walk through a calm marketplace,” he shared. “The next ones won’t be so calm and free of pollution. But I’m hoping to meet some good people and have interesting conversations.”
Day 17
After a seven hour hike, Khan’s fingers were inevitably left numb and freezing while it became difficult to breathe. This stunning shot was captured following the 1,900m trek.
