Hi.

I am looking for information, how to get by air to Gilgit or Skardu from Islamabad, India or Europe.
Where/How can I book a ticket ? Any recommended web-pages?
Are there any flights there from India (Delhi, Mumbai) or Europe ?
What may be the cost?

Regards, and thank You for any replies

I will probably visit Serbia this summer, and would like to go hiking there.

What do you think is the nicest place(s) to hike in Serbia?
I am flexible with any circumstances - all I want is the best possible hiking experience!

I've read (on Summitpost etc) about Kopaonik, Stara Planina, Suva Planina, Tara national park and Kamena Gora... what is your favourite?

Thanks

Hi all, I figured I'd do a dual purpose post here and introduce myself at the same time.

I'm a 19-year-old beginning climber from the United States presently living and studying in Spain. Mountaineering fascinates me and the little I have done so far has been a great experience. Over the coming years I hope to become a much more serious climber and have lots of success. The little mountaineering experience I do have is ...

I am a fan of classic American Blues-- favorites include Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, and Muddy Waters.

Please recommend some good modern-day performers. I don't like my music with a lot of political commentary, and I like my blues to be the hard, wicked kind-- the stuff that makes you want to grab a pack of harsh cigarettes and a bottle of rotgut whiskey and that covers the great Blues themes like unfaithful ...
