Danial Shah-Travel Photographer
I'm an Explorer, a Travel Photographer,a Writer, a tea lover and the founder of iExplorePakistan.com, currently based in Karachi, Pakistan. I travel all across this country and capture the beauty around with my lens. I always wanted to experience the real travel. I wanted to know how a nomad experiences the adventures throughout his journeys all alone. There came a time when I just packed up and left for the Northern Areas of Pakistan, currently known as Gilgit-Baltistan. The place famous for its highest peaks in the world and known as Roof of the world. I learnt how I can survive living alone, spending nights with no electricity, phone, mobile. Only mountains, snow peaks, bright shiny stars and the rivers. I realized how beautiful Pakistan is. Not only north, but the landscapes of Balochistan, the Hospitality of Pathans in Khyber, the hard working Punjabis in their farm fields, The Sufis shrines of Sindh and a lot more. My throughout aim is to explore and capture beauty around the world :)
