Hunza Valley

Entering the different lush green valleys is like a dream. Like little green dots of an oasis in between the arid rock deserts of the Karakoram, Himalaya and Hindu kush mountain ranges. Apricot, cherry and walnut trees welcome you from far away.

Nearly each of these valleys once were independent kingdoms - even today they speak their own languages, sometimes the languages differ within viewing range from one side to the other of one and the same valley.
