We had to buy food for the trip at Aliabad (Hunza) so our departure from Hunza was a bit late. We left Hunza at around 14:30. Had to hire a jeep @6500 Rs to bring our food and gear to Shimshal.

Spotted this UAZ bus converted to 4x4 at Aliabad. The bus was converted into camper as there were beds in the back. These were Ukrainain guys who had come from all the way from Ukraine via Turkey and Iran.

Started the final stretch to Shimshal at 18:30. Pics on the way to Shimshal village. Before the road, it used to be a three days journey form Passu to Shimshal. Now its around 4 hours. The very first jeep reached at Shimshal in 2005. The road was built by locals with the help of Agha Khan foundation. As usual, our dear government left its people at their own.

You have to confess all your sins and say Qabool hay Qabool hay Qabool hay to have the passage to Shimshal.
