| This
is an adventure on its own. Among the
beautifully snow-caped mountains, through
the fertile lands and fields of Hunza
Valley and with the unique cultures
of Hindu Kush mountains, we bike through
some of the most spectacular mountain
valleys. Biking on the un-paved roads,
the actual mountain biking starts at
the spectacular valley of Dir from here
we climb up and down the Lowary Pass
and bike through the breath taking sceneries
of Chitral Valley. At Kalash, we meet
with the Kafirs, who are said to be
the descendants of Alexander the Great’s
Army and have an old life style. Here,
you have a chance of meeting a rich
yet old culture that still exists in
the Hindu Kush Mountains. Again, climbing
up-wards we reach at the Worlds Highest
Polo Field The Shandur Pass and we bike
through the Ghazar and Punial valleys
visiting people and their cultures reaching
Gilgit. From Gilgit we bike through
some of Asia’s historical suspension
bridges to enter into the legendary
Karakoram Highway, which falls into
Karimabad, the Capital of former Hunza
State. Here, we meet people of many
different cultures, who have been living
in the mountains for centuries. They
enjoy welcoming guests to their homeland
with smiling faces. In Hunza we visit
to the ancient Altiti and Baltit Forts
standing on mountain cliffs. The Hunzukuts
are the inhabitants of the beautiful
Hunza Valley, which Eric Shipton called
“Hunza the ultimate manifestation of
mountain grandeur”. In this part of
the world, Hunzukuts are the most popular
for their hospitality and longevity.
On our journey back to Islamabad, we
visit some of ancient rock carvings
at Shatial.
