Autumn in Gilgit-Baltistan brings with it a vibrant color palette, as the hills and slopes are covered in leaves and snow, making the region more picturesque than in any other season. With its dynamic landscape, there is a reason the valley is often referred to as 'Heaven on Earth.' From vibrant tones of orange and red to soothing shades of yellow, the season brings a spectrum of color and beauty.
Autumn in Hunza Nagar, Gilgit-Baltistan, is the most exciting season in Pakistan. At the end of the summer season in September, the orchards begin to change color, much like a bridegroom in the colorful dress of his wedding day. These fantastic changes bring a glorious transfusion to the human spirit, offering happiness and pleasure. In October, it offers a breathtaking view among the high mountain peaks, ranging from 7000 m to 7800 m. Above the snow line, from the water channels to the colorful rocks, you’ll find sharp ridges, nallahs, maize, millet, vegetables, sunflowers, waterfalls, lakes, and even duck hunting opportunities. Enjoy the landscape with its natural beauty—God’s gift to humankind. The areas are abundant with colorful flowers, gushing streams, and roaring waterfalls, particularly in Gilgit-Baltistan.
