Hunza Valley: A whole new spectrum of colours

[Windjammer]

Royal Garden, Hunza.
Pakistan is one of the few countries with such a dynamic landscape; rivers, deserts, lakes, waterfalls, springs, glaciers we seem to have it all in great abundance.

The much renowned Hunza valley is often referred to as heaven on earth, enveloped in the grand Himalayas and the Karakoram mountain ranges, this place has been a great tourist attraction for many years.

For me it all happened when I was 22 years old and left the home without telling anyone and reached Gilgit. I did not know where to go from Gilgit; stranded, I heard a bus boy calling the passengers for Hunza. I had heard of Hunza, so I hopped the bus and I could only paint pictures in my mind of what was coming next.

I honestly believe it to be the most beautiful city in the world and I would love to see someone refute this claim.

Hunza water is the local wine If you want the really REALLY good stuff head over to Chitral. Those guys brew their own moonshine 90% alcohol, will burn right through your throat before it even reaches your stomach.

So this is the reason why you were singing 'Mary had a little lamb' in the middle of the night in Lahore while wearing a pink tutu and nothing else !
