During the Mahajanapada era in India, that area came under the influence of several major ancient Indian kingdoms, mainly the Kingdom of Kapisa, Gandhara, and Magadha. among others. So, after this Buddhism came to the <strong>Hunza Valley<\/strong> in the late 7th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rock-of-hunza\">Rock of Hunza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The region has several surviving Buddhist archaeological sites such as the Sacred Rock of <strong>Hunza<\/strong>. Nearby are former sites of Buddhist shelters. <strong>Hunza valley<\/strong> was central as a trading route from Central Asia to the subcontinent. It also provided shelter to Buddhist missionaries and monks who were visiting the subcontinent, and the region played a major role in the transmission of Buddhism throughout Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The region was Buddhist majority till the 15th century, before the arrival of Islam in this region. Since then most of the people converted to Islam, the presence of Buddhism in this region has now been limited to archeological sites, as the remaining Buddhists of this region moved east to Leh where Buddhism is the majority religion. Not only this but here comes the interesting part i.e., the region has many works of graffiti in the ancient Brahmi script written on rocks, produced by Buddhist monks as a form of worship and culture. With the majority of locals converting to Islam, they had been left largely ignored, destroyed or forgotten, but are now being restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hunza-is-located-at\"><strong>Hunza<\/strong> is located at:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hunza<\/strong> is situated in the northern part of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, bordering Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the west and the Xinjiang region of China to the north-east.

are in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, you have two options to reach <strong>Hunza Valley<\/strong>. Let\u2019s discuss both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-first-option\">First Option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a flight directly to Gilgit airport and then make a short 2-3 hour drive to <strong>Hunza Valley<\/strong>. There are several rental van services that you can choose from to get from Gilgit to <strong>Hunza<\/strong>. You can find regular flights between Gilgit and Islamabad through PIA, but all flights are subject to delays due to weather clearance. This option is simpler but far less exciting than the second option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-second-option\">Second Option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second option is to take a 24-hour bus directly from Islamabad, witnessing the beauty of Karakoram, Skardu, and Kaghan valley on the way. This option is best for those who love to explore new places. Once you are in <strong>Hunza Valley<\/strong>, private vehicles are primarily used for transportation, and most people rent out jeeps for the duration of their tour. You can get to the different cities within <strong>Hunza <\/strong>via bus or through your own rented transport as well. The first stop is the state capital, i.e. Karimabad. And here you go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-information-you-should-know\">Information you should know:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some helpful essentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>D.H.Q, Gilgit Tel: 058114 920253<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D.H.Q.
