A Jaw Dropping Journey of The Hunza Valley

  • 8 years ago
The Hunza is a mountainous valley in the Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan. The Hunza is situated in the extreme northern part of Pakistan. Hunza was formerly a princely state bordering Uyghurstan also called Xinjiang (autonomous region of China) to the northeast and Pamir to the northwest, which survived until 1974, when it was finally dissolved by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The state bordered the Gilgit Agency to the south and the former princely state of Nagar to the east. The state capital was the town of Baltit (also known as Karimabad); another old settlement is Ganish Village. Hunza was an independent principality for more than 900 years. The British gained control of Hunza and the neighbouring valley of Nagar between 1889 and 1892 through a military conquest. The then Mir/Tham (ruler) Mir Safdar Ali Khan of Hunza fled to Kashghar in China and sought what would now be called political asylum.

Road Trip to Hunza Valley GB July 2015, A compilation of videos from my road trip from Islamabad to Hunza Valley. Made a few clips on the trip, thought of compiling it into one for all of you to see. The song I chose for this is, "Tora Bahraam Khaana" by Hamayoon Khan - Coke Studio Version. This video might appeal to the people who have been living abroad for years and miss their home, Pakistan. Many of you might have visited Hunza long time ago, and there will be some who haven't had the chance to go there. If you visit Hunza, you will instantly fall in love with it, and I guarantee you, you wouldn't want to come back. Enjoy the 7 minute trip to the North.
