About Hunza Valley
Hunza Valley's fame stems partly from locals' exceptional longevity and health—attributed to apricot cultivation, fresh water, and mountain air. The valley's terraced orchards cascade down mountainsides; apricot blossoms explode in spring. The Karakoram Highway carves through the valley; Attabad Lake's turquoise waters flooded a section creating new scenery.
