Hi Faye,
Finally I have some time to catch up here - sorry !
Yes I was in Hunza MANY times because I always heard about it
as being the true Shangri-La, and perhaps the place where the book and movie Lost Horizon were situated.
The natural food is the best part after the friendliness of the people.
So, from the first I went to Afghanistan, I drove up the Karakoram Highway
all the way to Hunza to see it.
Then returned many times, most recently 11 years ago as guest of the Pakistan Govt Tourism Ministry for a Silk Route Conference held in Gilgit.
I also was the very first person to cross the border into Xinjiang when the border reopened in 1986 after being closed for 40 years due to the Red Communist takeover of China. That's how much I like this entire region
where the Silk Route used to go.
