welcome from hunza the most gorgeous valley in pakistan
i've always wanted to come here and i've always wanted to come here in the blossom season
and boy i've been lucky this is an amazing place and i've got great weather
this is the north most area of pakistan this entire valley and it has its own unique culture
its own cuisine have you heard of hunza diet if you haven't check it out it's really amazing
so if you want to find more information on how to get here and all that you need to check the
link in the description i'm going to show you around this gorgeous place and also check out
the video for khunjerab pass because there's quite a lot of stuff that you can do around
as well as in hunza valley so without wasting a lot of time i'm gonna take you through hunza look
at that i just can't get over how amazing this place is honestly so let's go without wasting more time
so getting to hunza requires a little bit of planning the nearest airport is gilgit or you can
just come by road from islamabad but i was coming from skardu it took me a full day and night but it
was an interesting day and night you can check the link above for the full story when you're going to
hunza i would recommend stopping at this point this is just before the city of sikandrabad about
look at that view of rakaposhi honestly it's much better than the viewpoint itself
it's spectacular but the viewpoint has been ruined by over development but the main reason
for stopping here is something else the ancient silk route now this wasn't actual big circle there
was a minor artery and it followed to disrepair after the karakoram highway was built but such an
amazing thing to watch see how people built this and how this was used for trading for centuries
your trip to hunza starts way before hunza this is the rakaposhi viewpoint
i'm really tired after a long day so i'm gonna get some sleep and i'll catch you later
good morning from hunza i had a wonderful night's sleep and i'm going for my breakfast but before
look at the blossoms and the view oh my god i love this place already so beautiful look at that wow
so i'm gonna go get some breakfast and then we'll talk more about hunza breakfast with rakaposhi
once i have something amazing prepared on display today so i'm standing in the garden and i can see
an avalanche right on top of ultra peaks this little thing is the baltic food and it's coming
for it let's see if it gets there but the whole thing is amazing let's see more of it
look it's come on wow
this is unbelievable i wasn't ready for this at all oh my god it's like tiny wind pieces oh my god
look at the food it's almost disappeared and then peaks that have cleared up oh my
god i wish you could see all these teeny tiny pieces of snow coming my way and this wind wow
the best time to visit hunza valley in my opinion is from mid-april to mid-may
and if you go around mid-april you will get to see the beautiful blossom season with great weather
and not a lot of tourists around
there's nowhere in the entire hunza that offers such beautiful uninterrupted views
of the entire valley as serena and hunza i loved loved loved staying at this place
all right i am in karimabad about now and this is the time to explore hunza
the first stop is baltit fort
these are the streets of karimabad and this place is steep pace yourself let's go further
don't forget to pack some sturdy shoes with good grip you will definitely need that in hunza
i'm at the baltit fort now and this has to be the best ticket center in the entire world
i'm inside the baltit fort we just had a guided tour this place is really nice not only because
it's a fort but also because it's a great chance to find out how they used to live here
what the you know place used to look like etc etc so i'm gonna try and show you a
little bit more our tour has ended but i'll see if they give us permission to go back
good morning it's day two and it's even more pretty and beautiful than day one so i am in
the garden of serena hunza and the view here is just amazing so actually got to see an avalanche
yesterday i'm going to show you where but first let me introduce you to some friends i made
this is the run this is the ever so gorgeous rakaposhi
and right on top this little thing sticking you know where is it there that's the lady finger
and then you have alter one and altar two so this is where i saw the avalanche yesterday
what amazing place isn't it and look at the cherry blossoms
i'm gonna explore that a bit more show you the valley as well which is right behind me by the way
so that's the entire valley with the river and i'm gonna go explore a bit more of hunza today
has a special place in pakistan it has its own unique culture
its own royal family it has a unique diet which is completely preservative free and
it's amazing and the people of hunza are known for their long
healthy happy lives looking at the view of this gorgeous valley i am not surprised at all
next stop altit fort
just got to altit fort right behind me
i'm super hungry apparently you can get food here so i'm gonna do that and i'll show you the fort
so i'm ready to explore all that fort they have the most beautiful garden i've seen in the entire
area with great views so we're gonna explore that a bit as well let's go first to the board
altit fort is some 11 centuries old and it has withstood many attacks as well as earthquakes it's
one of the most spectacular structures in the entire gilgit-baltistan province
what really intrigued me is this legend attached with the fort that it was built by a prince
to impress his newly vetted wife who was completely unimpressed by the lack of
glamour in the entire area the fort is still used today for some ceremonies and festivals by locals
i am at altit fort right on top of it and the view here is no less spectacular this fort is
actually older than baltit fort but it is restored later so this place has the most amazing garden
i mean in the whole valley actually and if it weren't for this gorgeous cap i would feel a
little bit like a geisha because this is you know bloom season and there's so many cherry
and apricot blooms around oh my god i love this place i just can't get over it
look
it won't be a visit to hunza if you haven't seen a
sunset over the beautiful golden peaks and for that i'm heading to three car now
so right outside altit fort there's a lady in a shop it's called um cafe culture hunza
she takes orders and then she prepares the food at home and then just gets it to you so i ordered
food from there thinking it's not going to be much but it has arrived and look at that
it honestly looks amazing so i'm going to eat this
and then go up to the golden peaks and see the sunset
while i wait for my green tea check out the view from here a mere 30 minutes drive from
hunza is another spectacular spot that you cannot miss i'm heading to attabad lake today
these are the ancient rock carvings of hildakash and they're considered sacred
by the people of hunza another great reason for stopping here on the way
to khunjerab pass or attabad lake is the river view i mean river hunza is just spectacular here
this is about lake in hunza well this used to be a village with some 80 90 households but then
one fine day all hell broke loose and this got submerged because of a landslide
and the people had to be taken away but this has become the new attraction here
look at the color of the water here it's just spectacular so i'm gonna spend the
day here and then we're heading to queen drop tomorrow so i'll see you guys there
you can see the puzzle peaks or puzzle cones as they are known here
from attabad lake but i would highly recommend driving up
so you get a bit close to it because the scenery is absolutely spectacular
and on the way you can also visit hussaini hanging bridge
which is considered one of the most dangerous bridges in the entire world actually
now it's not possible that i come to hunza and i don't try local food so i requested the chef here
and serena to prepare some you know local stuff so i could try out some of the hunza diet here
um while i go and finish all of this on my own
i honestly plan to because it looks delicious the food has been amazing throughout you guys
