Journey Continue...Ahmadabad

After visiting Baltit Fort and a nice stay in Karimabad, its time for us to move further into the upper Hunza... The travel starts from The Ganesh Village, which is said to be older than Baltit. The twists and turns of Karakorum Highway will take you deeper into the heavenly places and one can witness the true essence of human spirit in struggle with the fury of nature.

 

the first small hamlet that comes across the road is Faizabad, Khoshi in local language. This area is very famous for its variety of people, from Directors to Drivers, from By Birth Artists to Till Death ignorants all belongs to this place. The people of this place are very Friendly and lives like one family.

 

Moving further would reveal Ahmadabad, the progress made by the people of this small isolated hamlet perching on a massive rock is example of its own. People living in villages around Ahmadabad can emulate the organizational skills adroitly adopted by the inhabitants. It has a good school, football & cricket ground, Stadium and its own power house.

 

The capture above is Ahmadabad, which is pure example of what human unity can do, situated at what was once and arid rock, has been turned into heaven. Fed by the melting snow water of Ahmadabad Glacier originating from Gurpi Peak which is just beside Famous Ultar Sar.

 

So, our journey has started from Central Hunza to deep into the upper Hunza valley. One of the most beautiful place on earth with most of the world highest Peaks.
