Baramulla 19 Dec.. //
In an era where achievements are often amplified by noise and publicity, Wajid Khan of Old Town Baramulla stands apart as a quiet yet powerful symbol of determination, discipline, and love for the mountains. A committed mountaineer and trekker, Wajid Khan has carved his name into the landscape of Kashmir’s high-altitude exploration through sheer grit and perseverance.
From the demanding trails of Sinthan Top to the untouched serenity of remote alpine terrain, Wajid Khan has explored more than 132 alpine lakes, many of them rarely visited and largely unknown. His journeys are not casual treks, but carefully planned expeditions that require physical endurance, mental strength, and deep respect for nature.
Adding to his remarkable list of achievements, Wajid Khan is the first individual from Baramulla to summit Peak Ramesh Thong, the highest peak of the Pir Panjal range. He is also the first from the district to successfully complete the exploration of more than 100 alpine lakes across Kashmir, a feat that places him among the most dedicated grassroots explorers of the region.
What makes his journey truly inspiring is the humility with which he carries these accomplishments. Without sponsorship hype or public attention, he has represented Baramulla with dignity, courage, and consistency. His expeditions reflect not only adventure, but also a strong message of environmental awareness, self-reliance, and responsible exploration.
At a time when the youth are searching for real role models, Wajid Khan’s journey offers a powerful example. Rooted in his soil, connected to his land, and driven by passion rather than recognition, he proves that world-class achievements can emerge from local commitment and silent hard work.
Wajid Khan’s story is not just a personal success, it is a matter of pride for Old Town Baramulla and the entire district. His achievements deserve recognition, encouragement, and wider acknowledgment so that many more young minds are inspired to follow paths of purpose, discipline, and positive ambition.
Baramulla salutes Wajid Khan for his grit, courage, and unwavering commitment. The mountains may be his path, but his journey belongs to us all.
