Hunza
The Hunza valley lies in the midst of the 7.500m high, snow covered mountains of the Karakoram Range, just North of Gilgit, where the Karakoram Highway follows the Hunza River North to China. Local tradition says, that the Hunzakot in the valley: are descendants of ' five lost soldiers 'of the army of Alexander the Great. In reality this is probably just a fable arising out of the distinctive physical features and proud characteristics of the Hunza people. Today many Hunzakot's can be found further down the Hunza valley, in the villages around Gilgit or have relocated to Karachi, where the Aga Khan's educational, cultural and medical institutions provide income and employment to many.
