Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing fine. As you all know, Pinmapple is going towards closing, so I decided to make a blog as my last blog in this, one of my favorite communities on Hive. I know many of us are going to miss this community but nothing is going to last forever. Well, let's come towards the enchanting beauty of my blog.
This time I am going to share one of my tours in the north of Pakistan, where nature feels proud of its beauty. Yes, I am talking about Gilgit-Baltistan (a semi-provincial state of Pakistan). You will feel the beauty of the whole world concentrated in this place.
Our tour consisted of 3 days, starting from Minimarg, towards skardu and then naltar valley and finally to hunza. This was part of our plan, but I knew that this wasn't something that could be done in one day. That's why we planned to stay there.
The mountains in the domel area are mesmerizing enough to make a person lose themselves. When I went there, I felt like I was lost in the beauty of these enchanting mountains. These images are from the first morning when i was staying in minimurg. Domel is the name of area where these mountains exist.
Actually there is no hotel to stay in domel and that's what i disliked there. We had to stay in minimarg that day which is a bit far from domel. Lemme show you people the place where we stayed in minimarg.
Can you spot my puma bag anywhere in the room?
The resort was quite expensive but the location was worth it. The amazing thing was that there was no fan like thing in any room of the resort because of the pleasant weather over there. That's people always prefer to visit the northern areas of Pakistan in the summer vacations.
Our next stop was safaranga dessert.
The desert is also known as cold desert because it was a river before (indus river) where you can see the sand all over there now. The place remains cold in every weather condition. And tbh i was afraid to take this sky dive so one of my cousin took this ride and i handed my camera to him.
There is an annual jeep rally which takes place in this desert now. I was amused on this piece of information that once it was a river which transformed into a desert and even the rallies take place in there.
Well, heading to our next spot, it was the skardu. Skardu has one main and important point to visit which is a tourist main attraction named as kachura lake. This lake is divided into two parts, the lower kachura lake and the upper one.
First discussing the lower kachura lake there we stayed at shangrila resort which is quite famous over there. Lower part of the kachura lake is beautiful enough to make you people enchanted but then behold your hearts before going upwards.
This is the gorgeous views from inside the shangrila resort. The good thing was that as we were staying inside the resort we were provided with a free ride in the lake otherwise it was having a expensive ticket. I enjoyed the whole flight and asked for the second one but they asked for the ticket so i said the first one was enough. Lol
So, now we are moving towards the upper area of kachura lake. The whole scenario of the crystal clear water from inside the forest like area was so beautiful. I clicked so many shots out of which this one was the best one.
How much you guys rate this view out of 10?
My elder cousin said that we should return now as our budget was going to end but i was so obsessed with these areas that i myself called the father and asked for more money. As i am the youngest one in my family that's why he loves me so much, he sent the money and we continued our pre planned trip.
Our next stop was naltar valley where we just had a stay in restaurant to spend our night. We were really tired of the whole day.
The next day we started the journey towards the great mountains of rakaposhi and some other mountains also.
The mountains of rakaposhi and the eagles nest (name of a mountain) it is named so because it will make you look to the whole nagar valley where these mountains exist like you have an eagle's eye. That's why people named them eagle's nest.
You can tell me after looking at the images that how true it is about the eagle's nest. Does it give you a vibe of being having an eagle's eye?
Well, there comes the look of rakaposhi mountains too but i waited for the night to come over so that i can capture a good shot of the rakaposhi mountains.
The rakaposhi mountains are one of the highest mountains in the world. It is also known as the killer mountain as there is a death rate of 80% if 100 people decide to climb it. I wanted to observe it closely but that same cousin was the reason and started shouting this time that we should return now. So we summed up our tour there. It was so much fun and will always be in my mind and now on my hive diary.
Thanks to @pinmapple for all the support till now and yes, it was a great journey on hive with you. Best wishes and here ends the last blog of mine with you.
Well, that's all from my side.
GOODLUCK AND BEST WISHES 👌
