[usmanshafqat]

Only khurram and myself were brave enough to go a little far on the bridge. i think we went almost till the middle of the bridge before the boys called us back because we were short of time.

After ganesh we went back to karimabad and found a reasonable room in a reasonable hotel, don't remember it's name.
rested for some half an hour and left for karimabad bazaar. it was time to do some shopping

[usmanshafqat]

in karimabad bazaar, the first thing we went for was the famous cafe de hunza walnut cake.
Having eaten the juicy, soft and fresh apricot cake at glacier breeze we were expecting this to be very special too. but sadly it wasn't.
it shouldn't be called a cake in the first place. we were expecting something soft and juicy, and what we got was hard and dry.
didn't like it at all.
Expensive and over rated. 200 for this small piece.

Can you add exact location of Glacier Breeze Camp site on google map?

It's already marked on google maps sir.
the campsite is right behind the restaurant.

[usmanshafqat]

after spending a few hours in the shops, we had quite alot of stuff to put in our already overloaded car
Khair, after shopping we had dinner and then went for a walk outside the hotel. Enjoying our last few hours in hunza reliving what we had seen so far and how impressed we had been with the people and the land itself.
Little did we know that the best part was still to come
