Hunza Peak-Pakistan
Hunza Peak lies in the westernmost subrange of the Karakoram range in Pakistan, along with the Ladyfinger Peak. It lies on the southwest ridge of the Ultar Sar massif, the most southeasterly of the major groups of the Batura Muztagh.The whole massif rises precipitously above the Hunza Valley to the southeast.Hunza is an (in a surprising and interesting way) peaceful and beautiful place located at an elevation of 2,438 metes, it is located 112 km of north of Gil git on the west bank of the Huzza river. Weather remains pleasant from April to September, however winters are very cold in huzza. People of huzza are Ismail's and speak Burushaski and are really friendly. Hunza is famous for its (things made by hand) and (very valuable/very dearly loved) stones. Hunza Valley's tourist season is from March to October, however to me anytime spent in Hunza would be a lifetime experience. View of Rakaposhi (7,788 metres) from Karimabad is amazing, 800 years old Baltit fort is another attraction.Tourists in Karimabad also visit duiker, altit to see sunset in evening from there one can see eight different peaks and view from Duiker is just amazing and beautiful.
