About the author
Mustansar Hussain Tarar
97 books467 followersMustansar Hussain Tarar (Urdu: مستنصر حسين تارڑ) is a Pakistani author, actor, the first Morning Show presenter and a pioneer trekker - in his own words: a vagabond.
Having made a name for himself by taking the mantle in Pakistan's mountaineering community, Mustansar Hussain is widely recognized as one of the most well known personalities in Pakistan. Though the origin of his fame is usually considered to be his established and decorated career as a writer, Tarar can also be recognized as the foremost endorser for tourism projects in Northern Areas of Pakistan, having exorbitantly increased the array of tourist exposure to the areas by becoming both a mountaineer and an adventure author who uses these locations as backdrops for his storylines.
Mustansar Hussain's literary proficiency as an author often overshadows the fact that he has been an active mountaineer for a very extensive period of time. Having embarked upon several painstaking and challenging tasks such as the ascension of K-2 and the surpassing of the treacherous "Chitti Buoi" Glacier among others. More significantly, both of Mustansar Hussain's professions often intertwine and relate, since he uses his experiences on his expeditions as travelogues. Though some of his publications have met lukewarm reactions due to supposed exaggeration, he reflects on this predicament with the notion that "words or even pictures cannot successfully express the beauty and splendour of nature in it's true spirit."
Tarar's first book Nikley Teri Talash Main, a travelogue of Europe, was published in 1971. He has so far over forty titles to his credit which include many genres of literature; travelogues, novels, short stories and collection of his newspaper columns and television dramas. He has been one of the best-seller fiction writer of Pakistan.
Mustansar was born in 'Jokalian' a small town in Punjab, Pakistan in March 1939. He spent his early childhood in the village and moved to culturally rich Lahore, witnessed the independence of Pakistan in 1947 and the events that took place at Lahore. His father Rehmat Khan Tarar opened a small seed store there. Mr Tarar got his schooling from Rang Mehal Mission High School and Muslim Model High School, Lahore. He then got admission in Government College Lahore , a college that owns the credit to polish several intellectuals of Pakistan. In 1950's, he went to London for higher studies. In 1957 he attended the World Youth Festival in Moscow and wrote a book named 'Fakhta' (Dove) on that experience. In 1971 his first travelogue Nikley Teri Talaash Main was published. It led to new trend in Urdu literature. He also became a television actor and from 1988 was for many years a host of PTV's live morning transmission Subuh Bakhair (Good Morning). His unconventional and down to earth style of comparing earned him great popularity. He called himself the 'Cha Cha Jee' of all Pakistani children and soon became known by this title.

Once a friend recommended me to watch a video travelogue of Mustansar sb about Haramosh valley. Enjoyed a lot and watched 3 to 4 times. Now just finishing his book about the same, i must say what a beautiful description of the journey. Very fine details of valleys, meadows, glaciers and natural splendours. Especially the description of Haimal village, the stream that was on its way and Mani glacier was mind blowing.

حراموش واقعی ناقابل فراموش ہے۔ ہمیشہ کے طرح بہت ہی کمال کی تحریر ہے۔
May 31, 2024
کل رات یہ کتاب ختم کی ہے اور طبیعت پر ابھی تک اداسی چھائی ہوئی ہے۔
تارڑ صاحب نے 2016 میں حراموش کا سفر اختیار کیا تو تب انکی عمر ستتر سال تھی۔ اس سے ایک برس قبل انکا دل کا کوئی آپریشن ہوا تھا جس کے بعد بقول انکے اللہ نے انکو نئی زندگی دی تھی۔ تب انہوں نے حراموش(جہاں وہ پہلے کبھی نہیں گئے تھے) جانے کا ارادہ کیا۔ اس سفر سے واپسی پر ڈاکٹر نے انکو صاف صاف کہہ دیا کہ اب وہ پہاڑوں پر، اتنی بلندی پر اتنی پر مشقت ٹریکنگ اور ہائیکنگ کر کے نہیں جا سکیں گے۔ گویا یہ انکا شمال کی جانب آخری ایڈونچر تھا۔ یہ بات مناظر کا بھوکا آدمی ہی سمجھ سکتا ہے کہ، خواہ عمر یا بیماری کی وجہ سے، اگر کسی کو اپنے من پسند علاقوں سے دائمی دوری کا سندیسہ مل جائے تو وہ انسان کتنا اداس محسوس کر سکتا ہے۔
میں چونکہ خود مناظر کی بھوکی ہوں اور وسائل کی قلت کے باعث نتھیا گلی سے آگے جا ہی نہیں سکی، میں نے شمال کا ہر سفر تارڑ صاحب کے سنگ کیا ہے،شمال کی ہر وادی، ہر چراگاہ،ہر گلیشیر اور اس سے سرکتی برفوں، ہر آبشار اور ندی کو تارڑ صاحب کی آنکھ سے دیکھا ہے۔۔۔تو یہ کوئی اتنی انہونی تو نہ ہوئی اگر اس سفرنامے کو مکمل پڑھ چکنے کے بعد میری آنکھوں سے آنسو رواں ہو گئے۔
آپ تارڑ صاحب کو بھلے مبالغہ آرائیوں کا بے تاج بادشاہ کہیں، لگا دیں ان پر الزام کہ جہاں تتلیاں نہیں بھی ہوتیں، وہاں بھی وہ گھڑ لیتے ہیں، لیکن پھر ستتر برس کی عمر میں حراموش کا سفر کر کے بھی دکھا دیں اور اتنی محبت بھی کما کر دکھا دیں کہ کامران اور عاطف جیسے دو انتہائی مشاق فوٹوگرافر اور اپنی فیلڈ کے ماہر لڑکے آپکا سگے بیٹوں کی طرح خیال رکھیں، اور ہنزہ کی گلیوں سے گزرتے ہوئے صمصمام اللہ بیگ آپکو بلا تردد اپنے گھر لے جائے اور اپنی اہلیہ سے ملوا کر کہے کہ یہ ہے وہ خاتون جس نے دو تین دہائیوں قبل آپ کو جھروکے سے آواز دے کر کہا تھا "آپ نے ہمارا ہنزہ کا پانی پیا ہے؟؟!!"
آپ یہ کر کہ دکھا دیں۔۔۔۔۔

Although it contains the signature tone of MHT sb. but certainly a good book to read. "Mustansar Hussain Tarar " sb. given travel writings a whole new dimension in Pakistan and there is no doubt he is the guru of such writings.

As Tarrar Sb said, Haramosh travel would be the last one for him as far as Mountain peaks and their difficult hiking is considered. Pleased to read his great travel writings on Mountains.

Though written in his trademark style but not as good as his older travelogs, i think Tarar sb is now off the track, his recent books are not up to the mark,
Currently reading
