The Karakoram Magazine

The Karakoram International University(KIU) has been a beacon of light in Gilgit Baltistan for decades and a medium for introducing GB to the outside world. Formerly, KIU has signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding with different international organizations and universities; therefore, developing a vast range of contacts worldwide. By promoting a positive image of GB through the power of the pen, KIU contributes a great deal to the success of the tourism industry in the region.

Until very recently, the beautiful and multicultural land of GB has lacked a potent communication outlet which is why the voices of its industrious people could never be heard beyond Gilgit's majestic mountains.

The need to fill this lacuna was sensed by the honorable Vice-Chancellor who circulated a notice to launch the first official magazine of Karakoram International University. Under the supervision of the Directorate of Public Relations, a team of students incepted a magazine within a couple of months in English to be read around the globe. The magazine aims to highlight issues of the GB region and make its brilliant people and their brilliant works known to the rest of Pakistan, and the world. 

The primary object of the Karakoram monthly magazine is to cast a positive image of the region by showcasing socio-economic developments in the region. It also aims to provide a useful platform to groom the students of the KIU. In short, The Karakoram Magazine is a brilliant creation coming out of the creative brains of Gilgit Baltistan. It is a must-read for students and professionals alike, providing a platform to the GBian crew to come together and shed light on the jewel that Gilgit Baltistan is!
