"The idea behind The North Drive is to encourage others like me, preferably women, to leave their comfort zone and have the courage to go out and have an adventure of a lifetime," says Huma, who has travelled to Pakistan's northern areas a number of times.
As a solo woman traveller she says she "definitely felt safe" during her travels. "I've been invited by many local women to their homes. Normally people from the city hesitate when they get an invite from a stranger but I think we need to leave that perception behind. The world is full of kind people."
Her advice to those wanting to travel up north: "Layers, layers and more layers. A pre-workout before heading for a trek, also try having a warm beverage with you while trekking in the snow."
