From Hunza Valley we drove on our way to Khunjerab Pass, a high elevation mountain pass along the Karakoram Highway at the border with China. At 16,010 feet in elevation, it’s pretty high, and you start to feel a little dizzy.
Before getting to Khunjerab Pass, we first stopped at Attabad Lake, a spectacular lake in the mountains, a result of an earthquake that changed the course of the mountains causing a dam along the Hunza River. Boat ride and tea was amazing.
We continued driving and stopped in Sost, Pakistan, to eat a quick lunch, which happened to be my first vegetarian meal in Pakistan - including dal, beans, and mixed vegetables, all of which were delicious.
Another couple of hours later, passing herds of yak and flocks of sheep and goats, we finally made it to Khunjerab Pass. It was cold, freezing cold, and the elevation was so high that if you just walk for a little while you start to lose your breath. But the views and location were otherworldly.
From Khunjerab Pass we drove down to Gulmit Village, known for having a populations of Pamiri people, and therefore Pamiri food. Although similar to the food we had in Hunza Valley, it was also quite different, but again very unique, refreshing, healthy and wholesome, using lots of whole grains, nuts, and local produce.
It was my first time to ever eat Pamiri food and to learn just a little about Pamiri culture and people.
Another amazing day in Pakistan. The next day we traveled to Karachi!

Gilgit is in India. You got the location WRONG
I love go to gilgit but i'm an Indian 🇮🇳
Delicious food
I travelled to Attabad lake and Khunjerab Pass a couple of days ago. It was nice weather at the lake but still super cold and snowy at Khunjerab Pass even in July. But the wildflowers were in season and. It. Was. Gorgeous. "Otherworldly" is the right word.
Foods so nutritious could be reason of life long span in the region. Beautiful and inspiring ! Thank you.
Breathtaking region , unexplored beauty of the world
I think I remember the earthquake Ali's referring to. I was in Kabul at the time and there were two notable earthquakes in 2008, one in Jan 08. One was at night, more violent, and we weren't sure what to do, and one in the morning when I and my friend were sleeping in the same house and we both had weird dreams of being on a rocking vessel, (large boat or trailer truck, I actually dreamt that our house was crane-loaded on the back of a flat trailer and I 'woke up' in the dream to find we had been trucked all the way to Germany). Anyway, I watch this series from time to time and as a foodie and alpine climber, I dream of going to Hunza Valley.
Everyone who reads this , we don't know each other and probably Will never but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 💓💕
