In the Northern Areas of Pakistan, amid the rugged Karakoram Mountains, lies a relatively isolated region called Baltistan. The Balti people have struggled in this beautiful and harsh environment, but because men were able to find work as porters to assist mountaineering expeditions, many families enjoyed a meager income to supplement their subsistence lifestyle.
