Pakistan is unstable due to the abundance of information about terrorism. The Kashmir conflict zone remains a constant threat to inexperienced tourists. However, there is a place in the north of the country – the Hunza Valley (in Gilgit-Bakistan province) – that is often affectionately called "a haven of paradise."
The hills ablaze with golden hues, the majestic snow-capped mountains, the optimistic smiles… all have been perfectly captured through the lens of a Vietnamese tourist.
Autumn arrives, painting the hills and mountains of northern Pakistan in golden hues.
The Hunza Valley is one of Pakistan's most beautiful places, situated at an altitude of over 2,500 meters above sea level.
This is a fertile land, enriched by the alluvial deposits of the Hunza River and meltwater from snow-capped mountains over 7,000 meters high.
Phandar is a village located at the end of the road from Gilgit, so it's almost isolated, and life moves at a very slow pace.
The panoramic view of the Phandar valley is as beautiful as a watercolor painting.
Not only is this northern region of Pakistan covered in golden leaves, but it also boasts some of the world's highest snow-capped mountains.
Pakistan boasts a vibrant civilization with architectural structures ranging from Buddhist and Hindu to Islamic styles, spanning thousands of years of history.
The rows of poplar trees glowed brightly as they caught the first rays of sunlight.
The Gilgit River suddenly becomes calm as it flows through Phandar.
Suspension bridges spanning the river are a characteristic mode of transportation for the Hunza people.
The locals are friendly and always optimistic, with a smile on their faces.

In this land, people connect with each other through afternoons spent basking in the sun and sharing lighthearted conversations throughout the day.
Hunza is known for its fruits, especially apples, tangerines, and bananas. Here, the locals do not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides to grow their fruit trees.
Pham Minh Hai, a Vietnamese tourist fortunate enough to experience the life and scenery of Pakistan, shared: “My emotions overwhelmed me one morning when I pulled back the curtains. Paradise was no longer just a fairy tale; it was right before my eyes, intensely powerful yet utterly serene. The photos I took and the words I used to describe it are nothing compared to the true beauty of this place.”
