KKH - Hunza Valley

Text written in: English

Karimabad, is the centre of the Hunza Valley, a famous place in KKH, especially for some Japanese comic fans.

It is a beautiful place, right on a hill overlook the valley, and surrounded by several 7xxxM snow peaks. I found here is a bit touristy though, souvenir shop everywhere. But it is still a good place to hang around and relax for few days. In the afternoon I walked to one of the Fort that located in a near by village, someone stopped me and ask me to pay a entrance fee to have a closed look to the Fort. But even I paid, I can't get inside. I refused and walk up to the Eagle Nest Hotel (Duikar View Point), which has the best view for the valley.

Decided to go to Rakaposhi Base Camp with Anouk and Catia, it would be my first trek during the trip. Actually I didn't planned to do any trek for my trip. But I like trekking, so...
