Very nice pictures. Here in my state, it is very much similar except the lush green valleys' abundance in northern areas. That's only found in other states like Uttarakhand, Himachal, Arunachal and J&K. Here in Sikkim it is more about snow, ice, waterfalls and rocky areas with greenery bordering southern state and northern Bengal.

Very nice pictures. Thanks!

This reservoir has been made by the locals to produce electricity, there is a power generation unit at the end.

This is the turbine room for that reservoir.

The Magic Of Hunza Is Hard To Depict; where the glacial water of Ultar is known for some therapeutic distinctiveness, which, in favorable circumstances have caused the aboriginal populace, long life and a very low ratio of heart diseases.

Hunza

Hidden behind the mist is the Diran Peak (7266 m). Below is the Nagar Valley, Northern Areas of Pakistan. In Nagar heights seems to be unlimited. Rakaposhi (7788 m) is in Nagar and is the Biggest Slope in the world.

Hunza was previously under the domination of Nagar and collectively called Buroshall and their capital was Capal Dongs. But afterwards divided Buroshall into Nagar and Hunza and declared the river as the border.

Nagar was famous for its polo team. Until 1972 it was the unbeatable team of the northern areas.

The whole area of Nagar is declared as a community park to prevent the hunting of many endangered animals such as Marco Polo sheep, brown bears, snow tigers etc.

Malka Parbat is the highest peak in Naran Valley region in northern Pakistan. It is 17500 feet/5334m high. It is very challenging and is still unconquered.

Shandur Top (el. 12,200 ft.) is a high mountain pass that connects Chitral to the Gilgit in Pakistan.

The top is flat, a plateau and can be crossed between late April and early November. The grade is very gradual, and the area is crossed by small streams of trout. Grazing in summer is plentiful.

Every year there is a polo match played on Shandur Top between a team from Chitral and a team from Gilgit.

Deosai plains exists some 4000 meters above sea level. One finds a lot of suspension bridges and water streams just like this one. These plains spread over thousands of square Kilometers and it takes more than five hours on jeep to cross these giant plains. Remain covered with snow most of the year. Can be accessed from Skardu or Astore Valley.

paradise on earth....

God has been kind to us, the nation's fathers have been kind to us. Let's give back to our country by preserving it and keeping it clean (literally and symbolically speaking)


officially, the Northern Areas are known as FANA -- these are federally administered areas. Very rich in cultural heritage, and very scenic -- as seen throughout the thread.
