We are searching for guides, because we are living for Pakistan tour.
hoa precisely did you get visas without a tour itinerary?
Welcome to pakistan..❤❤As a guest, I can provide you all my time and respect.....may be , I will not be a true guider😢
Amazing new story. Same old man told me in '95 that they are all descendants of convicted people from Mir of Hunza and Shimshal was used as a prison due to its inhospitable/remote/inaccessible nature. Most (but not all) of these prisoners were of political nature. They made their own road in 2003 i believe.
So a valley of convicts?
@@IndoPakCanvas Majority is political enemies, since the area was kingdom before 1947.
That’s interesting! I hadn’t heard about that
