"K2" Highest Peak of Karakoram Range

k2
Most of the high peaks in Pakistan are in Karakoram range, the highest of which is K2 also known as Mount Godowin Austin. It  is the second-highest mountain on Earth after Mount Everest. With a peak elevation of 8,611 meters(28,251 ft). It is located on the border between the Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang, China, and  in Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan. The word k2 is derived from notation used by the
 Great Trigonometric Survey and sketched two prominent peaks by k1 and k2. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain due to the difficulty of ascent and the 2nd highest fatality rate among the "eight thousanders" for those who climb it and it has never been climbed in winter. An Italian expedition finally succeeded in ascending to the summit of K2 on July 31, 1954. K2 is a much more difficult and dangerous climb, due in part to its more inclement weather and comparatively greater height from base to peak. There are many routes to access but Abruzzi Spur and North Ridge is mostly taken to ascent.

Top Mehndi Designs: Indian, Arabic, Pakistani

Mehndi   is the application of  henna  as a temporary form of  skin decoration  in the  Indian Subcontinent , as well as by  expatriate  communities from these areas. Mehndi decorations became fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they are sometimes called  henna tattoos . Henna is typically applied during special occasions like  weddings  and festivals like  Diwali ,  Bhaidooj , Teej  and Eid. In some  Hindu  festivals every woman tries to have Henna done on her hands and feet. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of  keratin  which binds temporarily to  lawsone , the colorant of henna. Henna was originally used as a form of decoration mainly for brides. We are sharing some beautiful Mehndi designs for your beautiful hands
