Nice to see this. Sorry to be picky but maybe you could have said "traditional" instead of `primitive`? Nevertheless spectacular landscape. I went through there in Jan 1978. Best wishes

@ordjay thanks for the comment, I should have thought while we did the voice over, its true, cant change it anymore though...

Nice film. I'm curious, how much did it cost to hire the train?

Is it a misprint, or has Hunza been moved since the last time I was there. Last time I was there it was north of Gilgit, in the Karakorams!

Still enjoyed seeing Dera Khyber!

Thanks!

well, a film is also a short glimpse of a long trip, so how to get from the kyber pass to hunza is just not mentioned, but of course its not right there. thanks for watching.

cheers nws

It is a good attempt to promote yourself not this pass or the ppl. I feel that you have intentionally tried to portray them negatively. The international politics or better to say, the Great Game, has tarnished the image of these good and friendly ppl.

I dont see any negative promotion of the local people here

primitive way of life? I think the commentator is very much confused. Most of these people have sky tv, fridges, etc etc and every modern amenity you can think of.
