Chapter VII: K2

It is at this point in the journey that we must leave the campaigns of Alexander behind us, for the route from here on is far too precipitous for an army and its baggage. Without the discovery of dynamite, the route to Skardu would be impassable to everything but a dozen donkeys in single file. However, had the lightly loaded advance guard of Nearchus, which was sent out by Alexander to interrogate the locals, reached Skardu, they would have been greatly amazed.

There is a confluence of valleys and rivers at Skardu, and the land opens up into a wide, flat and fertile basin, where the mighty Indus slows to a virtual standstill and gently meanders through the plain. For a small population, life in this valley could be quite agreeable. The altitude makes the climate cooler than the plains of India; there is plenty of water for irrigation and much fertile land to sprinkle it upon.

By all accounts, however, Alexander and his main army turned south at Pir Sar and headed for Taxila, near modern Islamabad. There, the victorious Macedonians scored yet another victory over Porus, king of the Pauravas. Following the battle, Alexander's ambition was to push on to the east once more, skirting the Himalayas just to the south and onwards to who knows where. Once more, it is difficult to see what the true ambitions of Alexander were. He had bettered the achievements of Hercules, defeated as many Indians as Dionysus - what more was there a great king could do with a roving army?
