Local people are very friendly & hardworking .
I am a strong believer of enjoying the journey as much as destination. So journey from Gilgit to Phander offers scenic beauty, with river travelling with you side by side the whole time & fruit trees laden with fruits..
We made a game to guess the fruit tree n then stopping over to check n asking locals to eat the fruit fresh from gardens...
Apricots , peaches , almonds & apples...
