Day 62

During the morning we visit the Baltit Fortress, it’s a bit hard to hike there because of the altitude and the heat, but we are rewarded with great views!

By the way… that’s a 20 years beard:

On our way to Gilgit we stop in front of Rakaposhi (also called Mother of mist and we can see why) an 7788 m peak (the 27th of the world). We wait for almost one hour to see the glacier, but it prefers not to show all its magnificence.

Entering to Gilgit is a bit shocking. Some weeks ago there was presidential elections in the country, and today is the first working day of the Prime Minister, so we find ourselves in the middle of a shouting crowd on cars, motorbikes and walking. We are not sure if they are angry or happy, but we just go to the hotel.

We met again with Lukas and Samuel at the hotel, and we have a nice dinner with Ahmar and Shaheryar. However again the food is a bit spicy for us (even asking it not to be!).
