The writer is a teacher by profession and a freelance writer, photographer, and backpacker by passion. Born and raised in Karachi, Naba overcame the challenges of being a single parent and ventured out to explore Pakistan as a solo traveler. Starting with small group travels, Naba eventually backpacked across Pakistan solo and in small groups, choosing to travel by public transport, living in local homes, and enjoying the simple food the mountains offer.
Naba is the author of two travelogues, "Gateway to Serenity: The Karakoram Highway" and "Walk to Remember: The Karakoram Highway". Both books are based on Naba's personal journey across Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, where she shares the culture, cuisine, lives, stories, landscape, hospitality, and simplicity of the people with the rest of the world. Naba's passion for nature and adventure began in 2013 and has inspired her to explore the unprecedented mountain ranges since then. She has researched intricate details about every place and included them for the reader's benefit, while keeping her writing real and authentic without sugar-coating anything.
Naba's ultimate dream is to settle in the mountains forever and establish a learning center for little children, and share stories of mountain people. If you're looking for a light read that will inspire you to explore off-the-beaten-track destinations, Naba's books are perfect for you.
