We resumed our journey from attabad lake.

After attabad lake we reached baltit fort. i saw the real hunza as mentioned by Mustansar sb in his book during walking from main road to baltit fort.
i really liked the way of houses they built, sewerage system in front of every house. stair etc etc.

some pics on the way to baltit fort are here...
