Gilgit-Hunza Tour

About This Trip

Since the first century BC Gilgit has been an important transactional platform on the Silk Route from China. According to Chinese Tang Annals Gilgit remained under Buddhist rule from 4th to 11th century AD and together with Yasin was called Little Bolor while Baltistan as Great Bolor. The Shins – European Shina-speaking people, invaded Gilgit in the 10th century and Shina language is still the most important dialect spoken in Gilgit. At the time of Mahmood Ghaznavi’s invasion in the 11th century, Gilgit was part of the powerful independent mountain stronghold of Dardistan. Most of the population started turning to Islam after the 15th century.
