THE REAL HUNZA TOURISTS DON'T SEE! NEVER SEEN VILLAGE LIFE IN PAKISTAN

This is the Hunza you have never seen before- the raw, untouched beauty as Immy and Tani explore it in the -20 degrees winter of north Pakistan! #pakistan #hunza #travelvlog

In this episode we start our day at the famous MarcoPolo Inn hotel in Gulmit. Our stay here was very comfortable and we would like to thank our hosts for making this day possible. We make our first stop to a local families home as they welcome us with some traditional GRALL (authentic Hunza dish). This experience was life changing for us.
We then made our way to a carpet weaving center located in Gulmit to see how Hunza carpets are really made. Traditional weaving in Hunza was historically quite basic — limited to a few village elders making coarse goat and yak hair rugs. The Aga Khan provided support for the Hunza workshops dedicated to the training of young women, under Turkmen master weavers. More than 250 women are now skilled carpet-weavers and earn decent wages.
After an incredible experience with some extremely skilled weavers, we headed to another local home. This one was a little different and we felt it was a more modern version of the first home we visited. The most beautiful thing was the structure of the house. The structure of a traditional Hunza house basically stands on four main wooden pillars plus one to three additional small pillars. These pillars are made of juniper, apricot, walnut or other locally available wood. These pillars are often covered by geometric patterned woodcarvings. The traditional geometric designs on these pillars are inherited over centuries. Because of its unique wooden frame the house is earthquake resistant. If even the walls were peeled outward during an earth quack the frame would remain standing, protecting the main structure.
We finished our local unseen experience with a lovely visit to the Gulmit museum which we would highly recommend on your next visit to Hunza.
