I proudly come from Shimshal Valley in Hunza, one of the most remote and highest settlements in Pakistan, known as the valley of mountaineers. When I started guiding, there were almost no women in the trekking field, and the first five years were extremely difficult. I saved from my guiding income to pursue climbing, with no sponsors. Today I run my own tour company, organize winter sports activities in remote Hunza valleys, and work as a freelance guide with renowned national and international companies.
