Gilgit-Baltistan Travel Guide

Pakistan

One of the best autumn one can experience anywhere in the world and it is in Hunza. The image captures one the highest peak in the region, Rakaposhi (7788m - ranked 27th in the world) covered with clouds at the sunrise time. The image is taken from a point called Eagles Nest and it is unique in a sense that almost 11 or so peaks above 6000m can be seen from this spot. #Rakaposhi #EaglesNestHunza #TravelPhotography #Hunza #Autumn

Natural lake surrounded by 7 mountains.
When you travel on the Karakoram Highway linking Pakistan and China, you pass Sost. A must stop and final destination of many pakistani transport trucks, which can't pass to the neighboring country. It surprises the decoration of the vehicles, painted and full of adornments.
In the middle of the Hunza Valley, Karimabad is a locality of another time. Alexander the Great arrived there and his legacy is still present today. Many Pakistanis in this area have blue or green eyes, like the Macedonians who once accompanied the conqueror.
