Hunza Valley – All You Need to Know Before Travel

In the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan, there lays a mountainous vale known as Hunza Valley. In the northern part of Gilgit, it is present at the bank of the river passing by. The elevation of this vale is approximately 2,438 meters. When it comes to its geography, the area consists of three regions: Upper (Gojal), Central, and Lower (Shinaki) Hunza. In this article, I will cover all aspects of this vale and what you need to do if you plan a trip here.

History

The main religion of the area was formerly Buddhism. For more than 900 years, it remained an independent region. However, between 1889 and 1892, the British Empire gained control over this dale and Nagar. At that time, the Mir Safdar Ali Khan of the capital went to China Kashghar and pursued political asylum. From then, the ruling family of Ayesha (heavenly) formed on this place. John Biddulph in his book Tribes of the Hindoo Koosh write about it as; “The ruling family of Hunza is formerly called Ayesha (heavenly). The two states of Hunza and Nagar were formerly one, ruled by a branch of the Shahreis, the ruling family of Gilgit, whose seat of government was Nagar. First Muslim came to Hunza-Nagar Valley some 1000 years (At the time of Imam Islam Shah 30th Imam Ismaili Muslims). After the introduction of Islam to Gilgit, married a daughter of Trakhan of Gilgit, who bore him twin sons, named Moghlot and Girkis. From the former, the present ruling family of Nager’s descended. The twins are said to have shown hostility to one another from birth. Thereupon their father, unable to settle the question of succession, divided his state between them, giving Girkis the north/west, and to Moghlot the south/east bank of the river.”
