ISLAMABAD: Travel vlogger and mountaineer Asma Mushtaq has died after successfully summiting Spantik, a 7,027-metre peak in the Karakoram mountain range, during a recent climbing expedition.
Asma was born on February 7, 1992. Known as a passionate mountain lover and adventurer in the mountaineering circles of Pakistan, she was famous for her travel vlogging adventures around the world and her travels and experiences in different parts of the country.
