A Gilgit General Tip
by l_joo
This tip is being build on the spot, in the village of Gilgit. I just arrived this morning by bus from Mansehra town. 430RS each 16 hours approximately taken with 'Out of this world' scenery, completely beyond words. Nobody knows how to describe it yet, only eyes can see it. Gilgit is just a small village surrounded by hundreds kms of semi-desert mountainous terrains and also the famous Indus river which accompanying me all the way. I saw one of the highest peak in the work named Nanga Prabat (8100m++). The overall impression is just amazing, on top of the world. I will be heading to the famous border pass called the Kunjerab Pass soon in few days' time.......
On the way to Gilgit

This picture is basically what you can see from the bus, long distance bus from Mansehra or Islamabad, depends where you begin. Click the picture, its a big Indur River, this river is very strange, there's not lifes on the river banks, no vegetations. The bus drive some 4 hours only all these, dried and lifeless.
Landscape to Gilgit
by l_joo
Landscapes are about this for overall the surroundings of Gilgit town, the town is actually a big valley full of greeneries and not many inhabitants but very comfortable feel, tranquil especially, basic, ancient, and rural peoples made up all, I like it so much. Picture is still on the bus to Gilgit, some 3 hours before, one side is huge mountains, one side is Indus river very deep and wide. The bus is in between, crazy scenery I have to say.
The crazy landscape

Still on the bus, don't get over excited. Now you look out to your windows, the lanscape is just crazy, hopelessly beautiful, even the local Pakistanis had to strectch their necks to look, I was almost loosing control to shout at the stupid driver to stop for a rest but not a good idea, so I just keep snapping photos.
In early morning

Now the sun is rising at 7.30am somewhere before Gilgit, still looking at the mountains surrounding in front, still very exciting but the bus driver won't stop, gotta wait but looking. The was an Afghan guy sitting behind me with legs up to my head, I don't know what's wrong with his behavior but let him do it.
