I must admit that I did not expect much from the Khogno Khan Reserve near Karakoram. However, the reality was beyond my wildest imaginations. Nature was exceptionally kind here and in one place placed mountains, picturesque hills, granite outliers, forests, steppes, deserts, rivers and mineral springs. When I woke up the next day, I saw everything around me, even sheep, goats and camels shrouded in snow.
