Hey everyone,

I'm planning a 1-month budget backpacking trip across Gilgit-Baltistan. I want to keep costs around PKR 150,000 total by using local HiAce vans, shared jeeps, hitchhiking, dhabas, and budget homestays/camping.

Rough Route: Gilgit \rightarrow Ghizer (Phander/Yasin) \rightarrow Hunza & Gojal \rightarrow Skardu/Baltistan \rightarrow Astore/Fairy Meadows.

A few quick questions:

* Ideal time of the year for this?

* Is PKR 4,000–5,000/day realistic if I completely avoid private transport?

* How easy is hitchhiking and catching early-morning shared jeeps along this route?

* Any quiet, cheap hidden gems in Ghizer or Baltistan worth visiting?

* Are locals generally fine with tent pitching near homestays/fields for a small fee?

* Any tips for keeping transport costs down on rough tracks like Fairy Meadows or Deosai?

Appreciate any advice or feedback! Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a 1-month budget backpacking trip across Gilgit-Baltistan. I want to keep costs around PKR 120,000–160,000 total by using local HiAce vans, shared jeeps, hitchhiking, dhabas, and budget homestays/camping.

I just got a brand new, Pixel 10 straight out of the box, but I'm running into a massive headache trying to set up Google Wallet contactless payments.

When I try to add my card, I instantly get the infamous error screen: "This device can't be set up to pay contactless. Your device doesn't meet security standards. It may be rooted or running uncertified software."

Here is the weirdest part: My bank actually authorized the setup and deducted the verification amount from my account, but Google Wallet threw this error at the last second and blocked the card from being added.

What I've already checked/tried:

The phone is 100% stock, unrooted, and brand new.

Play Protect Certification in the Play Store settings says "Device is certified."

A third-party Play Integrity API Checker says the phone passes the integrity standards.

I've already cleared the storage/cache for Google Wallet, Google Play Store, and Google Play Services, and restarted the phone. The issue still persists.

Has anyone dealt with this on a fresh Pixel setup?
