Hussainabad, Mayon and Khanabad are some of the most stunning and scenic spots in the world-famous tourist part of Hunza. These magnificent, staggering places are situated at the extreme lower part of the valley. Before the construction of the marvellous eighth wonder of the world, KKH (Karakoram Highway), the jeepable road passed through these villages and this area was the only gateway to our friendly neighbouring country, China and the Central and upper part of Hunza. In the contemporary period, owing to the absence of the main KKH, in this part of Hunza, you can even experience travelling on the pristine Silk Route, which still exists in many parts of this area and invites the peregrinations who will be excited to explore and intend to refresh their knowledge.
The earlier-mentioned villages are very relevant for epic adventures and related activities like hiking and tracking. Indeed, there are many places besides, attractive and delightful sights which always offer to unfold the secrets of remnants and footprints of ancient civilisations. The locality of Hussainabad is a real haven for such activities and for those adepts who have a profound propensity and longing to reveal the secrets of archaeological discoveries. The area has an abundance of low-altitude mountains, which are indescribably congruous and gratifying for tracking and low-altitude expeditions.
Besides all that mentioned above, every visitor of this area can depict the scene of paradise in the ambience precinct to him in these villages, especially at the inception of the spring season from Mar 15 to May last, the blossoms were overwhelmed on the trees of cherry, apricots, peaches, apples, pears and numerous other fruit trees, including lush green terraced fields adding incredible scenic beauty to the surrounding areas of these villages. Such an astounding view makes a moment indelible in the life of those peripatetics who visit here with their families or Achates from different countries of the world and various other parts of our own country.
Moreover, the following imperative natural additions in the landscape compared to other parts of the entire region make these highland villages more spectacular: It is gorgeous sparkling springs, meandering streams and rivers and enchanting cascades can be observed perspicuously while having a cup of tea sitting on the chair from the rooftop of your hotel or any other residing place. The spectacular view of the well-known Karakorum Mountain Ranges, especially the peak of the magical mountain Rakaposhi, locally known as Dumany, which stands 7,788 meters above sea level, is shrouded in sparkling white snow sheet throughout the year, just in front of these three beautiful villages, Hussainabad, Mayon, and Khanabad.
As a native of the area, I assure you all that this is an additional and exclusive breathtaking landscape that cannot be experienced from any other place in the region and it will provide you with an opportunity for an enchanting episode of your entire tour. Indeed, in the world over, this is an exclusive one above an altitude of 7,788 meters indefatigable peak which can be easily viewed while travelling on an internationally famous all-weather road, sitting in the vehicle. This tour will undoubtedly give you and your kith & kin, along with your buddies, an unforgettable opportunity to obtain precious and unforgettable memories for a lifetime.
In addition to the discussion earlier, I intend to mention here that the people of these areas are friendly and utterly trustworthy, they respect rest of the human races & will never be reluctant to intermingle with the travellers, trackers, researchers and explorers who visit here from other parts of the country and abroad, aiming to explore the area and pave a way to enhance future tourism to this area. It is worth saying that the attitude and behaviour of the dwellers in these areas are always exemplary, helpful, courteous, modest and polite towards their guests.
It is suggested that the tourists must visit these stunning places and enjoy a homely atmosphere, and of course refrain from antinomian stances like anomalous and redundant hustles and bustles to evade the transpiration of a dreadful and ignominious event amid your visit to these villages. Albeit, there is nothing to worry about or feel any sort of melancholy when you are well-mannered, well-behaved amid your visits to any of a peculiar place outside of your home, even across the world and must be optimistic and relaxed and enjoy the classic creations of nature. Always keep in mind that the lifestyle and cultural civilisation of the entire Hunza is almost the same; it is also your obligation that never create a situation of environmental hazards. Most of the strata living in the highlands are always straightforward, dependable and naive. They firmly believe that visitors are always venerable to them and, they deemed on behalf of merciful and beneficent Sabaoth, the guests are an inestimable souvenir, and are completely aware of their responsibility to hold out a helping hand and definitely feel exulted ministering to their guests.
Some decades back while I was associated with daily “The Muslim” Islamabad and went to my native village Hussainabad Hunza while enjoying vacations and at the time, one of my local neighbours was busy excavating his land of Orchard for the erection of his house, amid digging the ground discovered a small pristine style pitcher which was filled with the ashes and was buried in his land some five thousand years back, this was disclosed later by globally renowned Archaeologist Professor Dr. Ahmad Hassan Dani. However, on my request, the local gentleman who owns that antique type of earthenware gladly agreed to bestow it on me. On the culmination of my vacation, I returned to Islamabad carrying my early-mentioned antique. I presented it to Professor Dr. Hassan Danni at his residence in F-8/4 Islamabad. However, he graciously accepted and admired the souvenir. Nevertheless, Dr. Hassan Danni, even without my demand, assured me that he would display that pottery in the National Museum of Archaeology, captioning my name on it. Perhaps, it is my sheer negligence that I have yet to visit the museum, even till to date never tried to find out the whereabouts of the museum.
