Safar Hai Shart is a travelogue television show on-air on Express News. The show was hosted by Waqar Ahmed Malik and Mukkaram Kaleem. Safar Hai Shart was an exclusive travelogue produced by Waqar Ahmed Malik, completed on nothing but motorbikes. Two guys on bikes explored the wonders of the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan. The Karakoram Highway (KKH) is the highest paved international road in the world and often known as 9th wonder of the world. The travels started from Rawalpindi and end on Khunjerab Pass (elevation 4,693 metres or 15,397 feet), the highest paved international border crossing in the world and the highest point on the Karakoram Highway. The show comprises the adventure, thrill and depiction of native culture of Kohistan, Gilgit and Hunza. Safar Hai Shart also showed Nanga Parbat (the killer mountain) and the related expedition stories specially of Hermann Buhl, Reinhold Messner in 6th and 7th episodes.

Concept

[edit]

Pakistan is home to 108 peaks above 7,000 metres and probably as many peaks above 6,000 m. There is no count of the peaks above 5,000 and 4,000 m. Five of the 14 highest independent peaks in the world (the eight-thousanders) are in Pakistan. Tourism in Pakistan has been stated by the Lonely Planet magazine as being the tourism industry's "next big thing", but after 9/11 Pakistan's tourism sector was affected badly. Safar Hai Shart was an effort to revive the tourism activities in Gilgit-Baltistan region.
