Zeeshan who has been trekking for the last seven years, claims that he has recently launched his own club namely Compass crew trekking and Adventure club.
“I launched this club last month after repeated insisting by friends and some youngsters in our locality and this summit was the first attempt of the club, which we accomplished successfully on June 12, 2022,” he says.

Inspired by his friend, Tufail Qurashi, Zeeshan started his first trek to Alpathar frozen lake in Affarwat Gulmarg. And later, he joined the Jammu Kashmir mountaineering Adventure Club in 2014 and since then he has not looked back.
 “Since then I have explored 40 lakes including Barafsar, Nilnag, Durinnar, Trusar, Yemser, Khemsar, Alpather, Chuharnag, Shilsar, Gangbal, Nundkol, etc,” he claims, and added, “My dream is to summit Mount Everest and K2 if sponsored.”
