Among the tourists Northern Area is
famous for its cherry blossom season. In March April and
May the valley is full of flowers, and Panoramic view
across the Hunza and Nagar Valleys incorporate three
snow capped peaks over 7,000 meters (Rakaposhi 7788Mtrs
and Ultar 7388Mtrs), providing a contrast to the natural
environments of Hunza. The view of Hunza from Karimabad
in spring is incredible, though it remain spectacular at
any time of the year.
For Himalayan mountaineer Eric Shipton,
Hunza was "the ultimate manifestation of mountain
grandeur" - the most spectacular country he had ever
seen. Few would argue. It inspired James Hilton to write
his modern fable, Lost Horizons, set in a land of peace
and plenty, where people never aged.
There's some truth to the myth. Scientists discovered
that, free from social stress and succored by a
monotonous diet of apricots and low intake of animal
fat, the Hunzakuts did enjoy longevity. Many
centenarians still work their fields in Hunza. |
