Autumn in Hunza

Autumn in Hunza.

 Hunza is known to be the most enchanting valley in the world. It is sometime referred to as the “Shangri – La of the Lost Horizon”.

 The beautiful valley with neat, sleepy villages, whispering streams, colorful orchards and vast glacier are surrounded on all sides by some of the greatest mountains in the world. The ancient villages of Hunza valley known as Altit & Baltit or Karimabad are situated on the slope of the magnificent 7400 m high Ultar Peak.

 Autumn in Northern Areas of Pakistan is something to be hold. This is the time of year when the trees of poplar, apricot, mulberry, peach, apple and plum burst forth into a riot of color with hues of orange, rust and red.

 There is saying in Persian, “if there is heaven on the earth it is only here, only here and only here”.
