I’m Zuhair from Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. I’m passionate about travel, nature, and meeting people from around the world. I have a diploma in Hospitality and Tourism, and I’ve been guiding travelers through the stunning mountains, valleys, and unique culture of Gilgit-Baltistan for several years.

I love adventure, off-roading, exploring wild places, and sharing traditional stories and tea with people. I enjoy learning about other cultures and showing the natural beauty of my region.

My English is not very fast, but I can understand and speak clearly. I'm always happy to connect and learn from new people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve done extreme off-roading across some of the most dangerous and breathtaking routes in Gilgit-Baltistan as a 4x4 driver. One of the most unforgettable experiences was guiding travelers through snow-covered mountains, remote valleys, and frozen passes. I’ve seen a wild brown bear in Deosai (the roof of the world), a snow leopard in Nagma Valley, and many markhors in the wild near Skardu and Hunza. Nature, adventure, and adrenaline — all in one journey!
