After working as a guide for several years, I founded Climax Adventure Pakistan in 2010. My passion is to climb mountains, whatever their elevation and wherever they are. I got my inspiration from my father who climbed some 8000m peaks in Pakistan including Nanga Parbat (8126m) as part of his job of high altitude porter and rescuer.

I was born in Shimshal, one of the highest valleys in Pakistan, and as far as I remember, I was climbing mountains, whether it be with my mother to go to the pastures during summers or when I was following the foreign expeditions starting from Shimshal.

I am married to a French lady and we lived together in Pakistan, France and Ethiopia.
