HUNZA - A REMOTE HIMALAYAN COMMUNITY

Hunza is a remote feudal community lost in the backdrop of the Himalyas. On the old caravan route from India to Tibet and on to Cathay - taxes being levied on these travellers. Many of the locals are descendants of the soldiers of Alexander the Great. Marco Polo would have travelled this way on his journeys of exploration.This film, made in the 60s shows Hunza as almost a "closed" community with little or no crime, no need for money, no shops, no hotels - is this still the same now?

Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of treasure. What a shame it is paradise lost, we have a lot to learn from their old humble yet fully functional ways of living. No crime, all sharing the fruits of their labour and so on just beautiful living

@azzy314159 IT IS ACTUALLY THE HIMALAYAS.

the karakoram mountain range is the beginning of the himalaya

[azzy314159]

It is not Himalayas Dummy.

Hunza is in the KARAKORAMS.

That is how accurate yo are. Check your facts before you open your trap.
