Pakistan is not only rich in landscape but also has vast variety of foods. Gilgit baltistan too has toothsome dishes to offer.

One of the most famous & mouth watering dish is Chap shoro.

It is basically a local dish of Hunza nagar.It is cooked on weddings & special occasions.

I loved the one made in chicken flavour , ate it from Hidden paradise Hotel near Baltit fort.

You can also have it in mutton & yak meat. But they will be a half done as locals like to eat it that way & dont fry meat much.
