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.

Our Trip to Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

To be honest, I've never written a travel blog before so I'm not sure how to go about it but here goes. My husband and I took a weeks trip to GB, Pakistan from 9th-16th July. Since, we were travelling together for the first time we weren't looking for adventure, tourism. We were just looking to getaway, relax and spend some quality time together. I'm going to use this space to answer the most commonly asked questions about our trip. We took a bus from Islamabad, that took us straight to Gilgit. It's called 'NATCO' which is short for The Northern Areas Transport Corporation. It took us about 16 hours to get there with a about 3-4 stops in the middle. The bus leaves at 10 p.m which is good since you're able to spend most of your time sleeping and the travel time doesn't feel too long - at least it didn't to us. We were expecting it to feel like forever but it didn't. The views are nice but monotonous and the way itself isn...

A scenic place to enjoy a coffee while having a break in traveling. Half owned by a Thai lady, the cafe offers coffee, which is not common in small Pakistani towns. Located uphill from the road. Definitely worth visiting, popular also among locals.

The best way to backpack in Pakistan, through the eyes of a foreigner

Backpacking in Pakistan is a one of a kind adventure; this is a country which will raise many an eyebrow and steal many a heart. The only danger with backpacking in Pakistan is not wanting to leave. Before I went backpacking in Pakistan, I was unsure what to expect. Pakistan travel advice from my government is basically one gigantic red X. The media has painted the country in an unfortunate light, a fact most Pakistanis are painfully aware of. Wherever I went, I was greeted by friendly faces and incredibly helpful people. Combine that with relatively cheap travel costs, plentiful treks and truly stunning mountains and you have one hell of a great backpacking destination. The security situation in Pakistan is currently under control and, with the exception of the Afghanistan border regions; most of the country is perfectly safe to visit. On some occasions, you will be assigned a free police escort – read about my experience trekking with mine – to keep an eye on you but the...
