Lonely Planet review for Glacier Breeze Restaurant

High above the Highway, with a stairway to tastebud heaven, this excellent restaurant continues to astound travellers with its quality Hunza-inspired fare and incongruous location. Signature dishes include chicken cooked in local herbs, purziyh sahar (paneer with spicy fried spinach) and Hunza apricot chicken. There's even a kids' menu. The apricot cake is divine, and chocoholics will have their prayers answered. And there's real coffee! The tented accommodation is set up in summer and includes mattresses, sleeping bags, and hot showers. Entrepreneurial chef Ahmed Ali Khan can provide dried and vacuum-packed meals for trekkers, and runs cooking classes (Rs300, at least an hour). Inquire about the full-moon dinner where a filling set meal is followed by a hike onto the eerily luminous Passu Glacier.

Love river deep, mountain high

As the name suggests, these cascading peaks fall like symmetrical cones, rather like the structure of a cathedral.

Crossing Attabad Lake, one arrives in Gulmit and hitches an hour-long ride to Pasu over to the treacherous Pasu Glacier. Glacier Breeze, a local restaurant, offers stunning views of Cathedral Peaks and Pasu Glacier – both a trekker’s paradise.
