Panoramic View

This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is. Dennis Rodman

The Heritage

Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings. Walt Disney

Sports

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in football and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win. Ian Botham

The Rainbow at KKH

It's a good thing that when God created the rainbow he didn't consult a decorator or he would still be picking colors. Sam Levenson

Old settlements

The coming and going of the seasons give us more than the springtimes, summers, autumns, and winters of our lives. It reflects the coming and going of the circumstances of our lives like the glassy surface of a pond that shows our faces radiant with joy or contorted with pain. Gary Zukav

Nowruz Mubarak

Nowruz is the traditional Iranian festival of spring which starts at the exact moment of the vernal equinox, commencing the start of the spring. It is considered as the start of the New Year among Iranians. The name comes from Avestan meaning "new day/daylight".

Winter ends in Hunza

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come. Robert H. Schuller

Mountains are calling

When you go to the mountains, you see them and you admire them. In a sense, they give you a challenge, and you try to express that challenge by climbing them. Edmund Hillary

The kingdom

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more. Oscar Wilde

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music. Billy Joel

Dried apricots

Dried apricots are a type of traditional dried fruit of Hunza Valley. When treated with sulphur dioxide, the colour is vivid orange but without sulphur, it use to be more delicious to eat. Organic fruit not treated with sulphur vapour is darker in colour and has a coarser texture.

Hunza - Fairie's Land

 Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels.  But their magic sparkles in nature.  ~Lynn Holland

 The fairy poet takes a sheet

Of moonbeam, silver white;

His ink is dew from daisies sweet,

His pen a point of light.

~Joyce Kilmer

Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

~William Butler Yeats, "The Stolen Child"

Each fairy breath of summer, as it blows with loveliness, inspires the blushing rose. ~Author Unknown

The Realm of Fairy is a strange shadow land, lying just beyond the fields we know. ~Author Unknown

Wind chimes in your yard will serenade garden creatures — squirrels, fairies and angels. ~Author Unknown

Welcome to Hunza Valley

 Rush Lake 4400m, behand left Golden Peak, right Mulubating Peak. - Welcome to Gilgit Baltistan

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

Apricots Blossoms are on full swing in Hunza Valley - Tourists' season has already started.... tourists from the whole world are welcomed.

Hunza is located at a distance of 100 kilometers from Gilgit. In early 1890s, the British embarked upon a mission to annex Hunza and Nagar, which is also known as the Hunza-Nagar Campaign.

British soldiers led by Colonel Durand occupied Nilt Fort in 1890. After that, they proceeded to the Baltit Fort, but faced heavy resistance.

The British gained complete control of Hunza and Nagar with little effort. Thereafter, the Mir of Hunza, Safdar Ali Khan along with his family, fled to Kashgar in China, and his brother Mir Muhammad Nazim Khan was made the new ruler of Hunza by the British.

Natural Beauty of Hunza Valley

The destruction of the natural beauty, the ecosystems, and the majesty of mountains affect us in ways we're not even aware of. Every time a mountain is beheaded, we chop off a little part of our souls. Gloria Reuben

The Natural Beauty

I'm obsessed with the countryside: woods, forests, fields, lakes, mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music. I'm into bands that have both aspects, like Boards of Canada is a perfect example. You could listen to that type of music running through a woods. It's kind of what I wanted to achieve. Ellie Goulding
