Day2 Jhalkand to Hunza (Sunday 5th September 2021)We got up earlier in the morning for Fajar Prayer after that took breakfast (Anda bread, Muffins, Noodles and Tea) and got ready for the next stretch. Left for Jhalkand at 6:30 AM . The only route available is via famous Babusar Pass to Chilas (Zero Point) onto KKH to Hunza Via Raikot Bridge Jaglot. So had to follow the path fueled up the cars from PSO chilas. We took lunch break at Jaglot and finally reached Hunza at 4:10 PM . Checked in at Hunza De Café Huts situated in Aliabad with an open view to Rakaposhi and Diran Peak @ Rs. 1500 per hut. Dinner feast at Shinwari (Chapal Kabab). Visited Aliabad market at night.
