Hi, I’m Mubashir Rizvi from Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. I’m a passionate rock climber and outdoor enthusiast with a love for adventure and exploration. With over eight years of climbing experience, I’ve had the privilege of exploring some of the most stunning landscapes, from the peaks of Rakaposhi to the serene beauty of Naltar Valley.

When I’m not climbing, you’ll find me hiking, trekking, swimming, or embarking on thrilling bike tours. My travels have taken me from the breathtaking Deosai Plateau to the picturesque valleys of Skardu and beyond.

I’m here on Couchsurfing to connect with fellow travelers, share stories, and experience new cultures. I enjoy meeting people who share my passion for adventure and the great outdoors. Whether you’re up for a climb, a hike, or just a good conversation over coffee, I’d love to connect!

Looking forward to sharing experiences and making new friends on this journey. Safe travels
