Local languages spoken include Burushaski, Wakhi and Shina, although many people understand Urdu. The literacy rate of the Hunza valley is considered to be more than 95%. 



Hunza valley has been described as a role model for Pakistan in terms of its high literacy rate and school enrollment figures. Virtually every child is trained up to at least high school level. This valley is comprised of terraced ridges running from the high pastures down to the river, with extensive irrigation channels bringing melt water from the glaciers to the terraced fields and villages. A wide variety of crops are cultivated here; including potatoes, barley, wheat, and vegetables along with apricots, apples, cherries, almonds, and other fruit or nut crops. Hunza was formerly a princely state bordering Uyghurstan also called Xinjiang, autonomous region of China, to the northeast and Pamir to the northwest, which survived until 1974, when it was finally dissolved by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The state bordered the Gilgit Agency to the south and the former princely state of Nagar to the east. The state capital was the town of Baltit, also known as Karimabad. Another old settlement is Ganish village. Hunza was an independent principality for more than 900 years. The British gained control of Hunza and the neighbouring valley of Nagar between 1889 and 1892 through a military conquest. The then Mir or Tham, ruler, Mir Safdar Ali Khan of Hunza fled to Kashghar in China and sought what would be called political asylum. Hunza valley is one of the attractive valleys of Pakistan.

Abbottabad


Abbottabad is One of the Finest City of Pakistan

Abbottabad has a cool climate, and one of the country’s finest hill-station retreats is an hour away at Thandiani and  Abbottabad  is very attractive for tourists and Abbottabad  is a city located in the Hazara region of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in northeastern Pakistan. The city is situated in the Orash Valley, 110 kilometers north of the capital Islamabad, 130 kilometers from Rawalpindi and 150 kilometers northeast of Peshawar at an altitude of 1,260 meters and is the capital of the Abbottabad District. Kashmir lies in the east of the city. The city is well known throughout Pakistan for its pleasant weather, high-standard educational institutions and military establishments. It remains a popular hill-station attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. Abbottabad has been attracting tourists to the city since the colonial era, as it is a major transit point to all major tourist regions of Pakistan such as Nathiagali, Ayubia and Naran. 



It is a charming town spread out over several low, refreshingly cool and green hills. Thousands of tourists visit  Abbottabad  every year in summer and winter from throughout Pakistan. Southbound cyclists should take a rest and contemplate the scenic mountain route via Murree rather than the truck choked Karakuram Highway. Apart from changing money for an excursion into the Kaghan Valley there’s little reason for other travellers to make a halt. Abbottabad, was the headquarters of the Hazara district during British rule of the Indian subcontinent. It was called after Major James Abbott who founded the town and district in January 1853 after the annexation of Punjab. He remained the first Deputy Commissioner of the Hazara district from 1849 until April 1853. Major Abbott is noted for having written a poem titled, Abbottabad, before he went back to Britain, in which he wrote of his fondness for the
town and his sadness at having to leave it. In the early 20th century, Abbottabad became an important military cantonment and sanatorium, serving as the headquarters of a brigade of the Second Division of the Northern Army Corps. The garrison been composed of four battalions of native infantry, of the Frontier Force and two native mountain batteries. 



In October 2005 in Abbottabad was devastated by the Kashmir earthquake. Although most of Abbottabad survived, many older buildings were damaged or severely damaged. The city is bounded on all four sides by the Sarban hills, from which residents and tourists can see breathtaking views of the region and city. The location of the city and the hills allows Abbottabad to experience pleasant weather in the summer and cold winters. The Dor river flows south of Abbottabad through the town of Harnol, eventually reaching Tarbela Dam, situated west of Abbottabad. Neighbouring districts are Mansehra to the north, Muzaffarabad to the east, Haripur to the west and Islamabad Capital Territory to the south. Abbottabad has a humid subtropical climate, with mild to warm temperatures during the spring and autumn months, hot temperatures during June and July, and cool to mild temperatures during the winter. The temperature can rise as high as 100 °F during the mid-summer months and drop below 23 °F during the extreme cold waves. Snowfall occurs occasionally in December and January, though it is sparse, while the heavy rainfall events occurs during the monsoon season stretching from July to September that frequently cause flooding in lower lying parts of the city.
