I visited towards Hunza upto Khunjarab and Astore velly to Desaie and Minimerg areas. Could noit visit Rama lake side due to shortage to time. Tourist attraction areas in Astore are Rama, Deosaie . Minimerg side is also very much beautiful and so attractive but you need a 4WD vehicle and permission from Pakistan Army (From chilim and ownwards towards minimerg). PTDC motel is in Rama
