Also, would you suggest the use of gaiters?

I go to the north of Pakistan every year and enjoy trekking in the most amazing mountains in the world. <br /><br />I cannot emphasis the regret and pain the Nanga Parbat incident brought to me. Trust me when I say this, the people of Pakistan strongly condemn such acts of violence. <br /><br />I understand the cancellations of such trips since safety comes first, but I am also aware how hard it must have been for you to take this decision; for a trekker/mountaineer is a free bird above nationalities and the love of mountains flow in his/her veins like blood. <br /><br />I sincerely hope we will see you soon once again in the scenic majesty of Pakistan. I also hope I will be a part of one of your trips and will be able to share different experiences. <br /><br />Good luck and best wishes from Karachi, Pakistan!

How did you arrange your muleteer? How were you travelling around? Is it easy to be an independent traveller cos most of the info on the web is about organised trips. Can I be realsonably relaxed and show up and things will work out .. or is it advisabel to sort everything out in advance?
