We moved ahead with heavy heart but more we were approaching Phunder valley the nature kept surprising us with its colors. It was the moment when we appreciated our decision to choose this route for Khunjerab instead of Chilas, Naran which we covered on return. Soon approaching the Phunder Valley the “Saaza” of unpaved road ended and metaled road started which we and our bikes enjoyed a lot. (pics are evident enough
). Phunder is very beautiful valley due to its colorful pattern of fields among tall green trees, calmness, water channels, surrounded by huge mountains. Though the road was carpeted but the thing kept us slow was fascinating attraction of Phunder. Passing through we entered to Gupis where many water channels join Gilgit River. At a roadside dhabba we had lunch and moved to a petrol pump to refill the tanks.
