Glacier Breeze Restaurant Passu Hunza

  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.

This thoroughfare is the only one connecting the 2,400 residents of the village of Shimshal to the outside world. The jeep bumps along a sloppy mud road carved between the country's mountainous north, its tyres running with breathtaking precision along the very edge, where nothing but air lies between them and the snake-like river winding hundreds of feet below. More than 3,000 metres above sea level the vehicle has no room for error, its other side just inches from scraping along the rock face, its passengers worriedly monitoring how anxious the driver appears. For his part, Shahid Karim spends as much of his time watching the mountains themselves as he does gauging how close he is bringing his jeep to the edge.

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...
