Frozen waterfalls up to 300 m in the Hushe valley, below Masherbrum. In 2024 we organised the first ice climbing expedition in the Pakistani Karakoram, and our Hushe guides have climbed the ice every winter since. Nobody else knows these walls like we do.
In 1988 our founder Rozi Ali, a young guide from Hushe, worked with the Italian expedition that made the first ascent of Masherbrum II. In 2023 our team organised the first ascent of its neighbour, Yernamandu Kangri (about 7,163 m), by Simon Messner and Martin Sieberer. Almost 40 years after 1988, Discover Karakoram is still run from the same village, with guides, cooks and porters who grew up below Masherbrum, Laila Peak and the Gondogoro La.

Rozi Ali was born in 1959 in the Hushe valley (3,180 m) in the southern Karakoram. A senior mountain guide and tour operator, he has more than 40 years of experience in these mountains and has led many successful expeditions, including first ascents.
He worked on many of Reinhold Messner's expeditions in the Karakoram and has climbed and trekked with famous mountaineers such as Chris Bonington, Hans Kammerlander, Doug Scott, Robert Schauer, Wanda Rutkiewicz, Alessandro Gogna, Renato Casarotto, Voytek Kurtyka and Steve Swenson. In 1988 he guided the Italian first ascent of Masherbrum II (Cathedral Peak).
Today he leads Discover Karakoram Treks & Tours as Managing Director, sharing his home mountains with travellers from around the world.
