"Unbelievable Hospitality" Hunza by aukjejetty

Hunza Travel Guide: 106 reviews and 221 photos

From the very first moment on we were introduced to the Pakistani hospitality in the Northern Areas. In the Hunza region we met so many people who invited us in for tea (chai), showed us around and gave us free transport. It was the warmest welcome I have ever had in a country until then. We entered Pakistan at Sust, where we also stayed. From there we walked up to Upper Sust, and were introduced to the life of Tajiks. Not many travellers stay long enought to walk the 3,100 meters up the hill.

Last visit to Hunza: Jul 2001
