"Hunza Longivity Tour" Taking the Karakoram Highway alongside the mighty Indus River one can get to Gilgit and Hunza - the lost kingdom of Shangri-La described by James Hilton in his book "Lost Horizon". Hunza has seen much of history yet it offers tranquility and peace. People of Hunza are known for their longevity and friendliness. Situated in the heart of the Karakorams, the legendary mountain kingdom of Hunza lies on the ancient trade route to Sinkiang; today the Karakoram Highway runs along this route. Very few places in the world compare with this small mountainous region, which was a semi autonomous state but is now fully unified with Pakistan. Hunza is an earthly paradise whose inhabitants are renowned for their longevity, their simplicity and natural diet. The scenic beauty of this area, with its greenery and snowbound mountains, makes it a true paradise. During the summer there is an abundance of apricots, peaches, pears and grapes. There are several glaciers and high peaks around Hunza, the most magnificent being Rakaposhi (7,788m). Hunza is also known for its unpolluted mountain air, which caused this area to be known as 'Shangri-La'. Karimabad is the main town of Hunza. The blossoming and autumn at Hunza are really worth seeing and attract thousands of tourists.
