⚠️ Road Safety – Skardu to Jaglot

The Skardu Road is scenic but demanding:

🚧 Unpaved segments, rockfalls, and blind turns

📶 Very limited mobile coverage — download offline maps

🕐 Avoid driving after sunset

☕ Pack snacks and stay hydrated

Despite recent upgrades under the Skardu Road Expansion Project, this road still requires full attention and cautious driving.

🏡 Arriving in Hunza – My Evening in Karimabad

After this long but beautiful journey, I checked in at Mezban Hotel in Karimabad, Hunza. A a cozy and centrally located spot with panoramic views of the valley.

As the sun set, I wandered through the Karimabad Bazar, soaking in the local culture, handmade crafts, warm people, and mountain air.

🍕 For dinner, I stopped at Pamir Pizza. One of Hunza’s most famous food joints, serving hot, cheesy pizza in the heart of the mountains.

☕ And to end the perfect day, I visited the iconic Cafe De Hunza, known for their legendary walnut cake and Coffee. The best dessert combo in the north!
