    I visited the Hunsa valley in the 1980s, when it was still traditional and very isolated.
    Very difficult to to reach. I was the only tourist. A beautiful place!

    As a busy young mom I rarely take time to watch things. This was stunning. I am American born to Pakistani immigrants. I am trying to repair my relationship with food since Ramadan 2023. I am obese, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Eating Whole Foods is hard in America where fast food is cheaper than fresh fruits and vegetables. And people prefer fast food over these “bland boring” foods. These fast food franchises have glamorizes their bad food and over portions and using apps and technology to get to us. I am done. I am going back to my roots. Fasting 14 hours minimum daily and eating fruits and vegetables and plant based proteins and occasional meats. I feel better and hopefully the scale will show better too. Took me 30 years to realize this and I know it will take me years to take these 100 pounds off. But in the process I hope my kids will never have this poor relationship with food like I did. I hope they will appreciate the food naturally grown and we have set up the backyard with planters to grow our own tomatoes and other vegetables to gain some appreciation of our natural world.

    A few years ago, in mid-life my health had plummeted to an all-time low. I attended a Lifestyle seminar by Dr Errol Brice on an Organic Plant-based diet. It took me over a year to transition. In two years, I lost 90 lbs, only taking one pill, but the dosage was cut in half, and am in peak health at 65. When I see the unadulterated land in which fruits and veggies contain peak nutrients, I can only wish for a place like the Hunza Valley to purchase my produce. Love the documentary!

    Thanks for showing me home man. It's true that a lot of things have changed today. But, life has become much easier for the people of Hunza now. There was a shortage of food once in the region, but people don't have that issue anymore. People have been exercising less now due to all the ease they are enjoying. The lifespan is still very high in the region. My grandma is around 95 years old. I believe that the secret to a long life is mainly due to connectivity of the people, less stress, and healthy minds. People don't worry about things and have all the time in the world. The food and environment play a good role in longevity, but happiness in general plays a very crucial role. The people of Hunza are mainly fun-loving, respectful, and cheerful.

    I first learned of the Hunza region in a couple of books I read while living in Hong Kong around 1989 for three years., loaned to me by people who used to trek there regularly. I never managed to get there myself and over the years the political climate and other priorities in my life have prevented a visit to Pakistan. Maybe, one day, my dream will come true. This film has brought the dream back. The Hunza valley reminds me of the Zanskar region and the high mountains which make up the valley walls, an area I have managed to visit. The story of how food has changed in the region by the imports of food from outside is a common story of areas once famed for their remoteness. The staples of peas, buck wheat and barley are similar in the Indian Himalaya, but the improvement of roads and increase in tourism has also changed the diet of local people. Someone I know really well has, this year, started selling ice cream in Padum, the main town of Zanskar, with a machine they invested in, the main ingredient being milk cream imported in cartons from outside the region. A wonderful film and with an articulate commentary.

    We were connected to a great extend with North-eastern part of Pakistan in the past, that's the reason I'm not surprised by looking at the similarities between us, be it the geography( high peaks all around), livestocks( like yaks), eating habits (buckwheat pancakes, barley, wheat, peas), Vegetation ( crops, and apricots,apples,walnut) ,language (their Balti language ) & people (resemblance to some extend).
    BTW I'm from Ladakh,India and the situations are the same here, as we are also witnessing rapid changes, which seemed interesting at first but now this urbanization seems going out of our hands after Government of India declared us as UT in 2019 and is affecting our native/old lifestyle because of limitless tourists influx.
    Hoping to visit there once to feel our historical connection ❤

      Sorry, this doddering dotard does not have an Instagram account and does not intend to have one or any such social media.. He doesn't communicate in soundbites. He prefers ancient ways such as email.
      Anyway, I have also travelled to Kaghan Valley. Again, in the 1960s. Out of this world!

    How are the Hunza people preserving their culture in the midst of the dominant Islamic neighborhood? Are they still as remote as they used to be or the main stream Pakistanis are gradually eating up their unique culture? Are Buddhism and nature religions of the region (or at least the cultural practices) still alive or have become victims like Bamiyan and Hindukush?

    • @Seedsofdiscovery
      @Seedsofdiscovery  9 місяців тому

      From what I understand, since the building of the Karakoram Highway, the region is far less isolated than before. There is more mixing between the rest of Pakistan and Hunza. Regarding religions, islam became dominant quite late in the region, there are still some shamanic practices but I don't believe Buddhism is still practiced.Hunza people are very proud of their culture and try their best to preserve it and as any culture it evolves with time. The local branch of islam practiced there is the ismaiili branch of shia which is quite progressive.
