4. Hunza Valley in Pakistan
A hidden piece of paradise.
The Hunza Valley is a lush, green oasis in the barren high mountains of the Karakoram Mountains. Down in the valley, of untamed mountain the blue-gray, river Hunza has dug deep into the sandy bottom.
At the top of Karimabad village are blooming apricot trees, poplars and birch avenues lined with terraced fields which have been reclaimed from nature.
The people of Hunza Valley have created a small idyll, they live in small wooden houses with balconies and colorful flower beds – one almost imagines himself in the Alps. There are over 7,000 meters high snow giants that scoff every mountain in the Alps: Diran, Golden Peak, Muztagh Hispar or Rakaposhi.
Hunza is also termed as a “role model” for Pakistan in terms of its high literacy rate. The school enrollment figures are very high. Virtually every child is educated up to at least high school level.
