HunzaNagar

HunzaNagar is a region located in the Gilgit-Baltistan province of Pakistan. It is situated in the northernmost part of the country, bordered by the Hunza River to the west and the Nagar River to the east. The area is characterized by rugged mountainous terrain, with snow-capped peaks and deep valleys. Historically, HunzaNagar was divided into two distinct but closely related princely states, Hunza and Nagar. These states maintained separate administrations until their accession to Pakistan in 1974.

The people of HunzaNagar, primarily of Burushaski and Shinsha dialects, have a rich cultural heritage. They are known for their unique traditions, agricultural practices, and a historical reputation for longevity. The region is a significant tourist destination, attracting visitors with its stunning natural beauty, including the Rakaposhi mountain, the confluence of the Hunza and Nagar rivers, and ancient forts like Baltit Fort. The economy is largely based on agriculture, with apricots, walnuts, and wheat being staple crops, as well as tourism. The development of infrastructure, including roads and hydroelectric power, has been ongoing in the region.
