Travel Dairy: Lahore to Gilgit Baltistan
Day 3: Gilgit to Phander Valley
The winding road from Gilgit to Chitral is traversed by many, but savored by few poplar-lined pathways, brilliant turquoise waters, hospitable Ismaili people; these are but a few of the reasons you should take your time along the road.
A plethora of villages line the way from Gilgit to Shandur pass, but none are so picturesque as Phander (pronounced “fun-der”), a small village in the eponymous Phander Valley.
