"I had the pleasure of meeting Abdullah in Pakistan two years ago. His knowledge of the history of the country in all realms was extensive and greatly added to my ability to enjoy the stunning scenery and cultural wonderland around me. He has a thriving sense of adventure and there was never a dull moment in his company. I have found a great friend in Abdullah and am looking forward to seeing him succeed in this new role in the mountains he calls home.

"Abdullah is a very passionate and caring person and has all the qualities of a good guide. When you are away from everything in the wilderness you need a reliable and a trustworthy guide on your side. I met him in 2018 on our trip to K2 base camp and we went through some unexpected weather & challenges and he came through all the time. He is very knowledgeable and has an innate ability to make friends which is very much needed when working with locals. I wish him well and know with the grit that he has will do great.
