As our visit to Passu Glacier was not as successful as we had hoped for, we decided to give Hopper Valley a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be possible to travel from Karimabad to Hopper Valley by public transport via Aliabad. We ended up hiring a driver, though. We met a German man, Carsten, at our guesthouse, and he joined us to split the costs. Getting an own driver was a good idea, because he made many stops on the way so we could see much more than just the Hopper Valley. Private day tour with the nice driver and his Landrover costed 3000 rupees altogether (around 18 euros).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sights on the way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our first stop was the 1000-year-old village of Ganish, the oldest settlement of the Hunza Valley. Even though a big part of it has been destroyed by floods, it was an amazing historical place to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110068-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"In the village of Ganish\" class=\"wp-image-2206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110068-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110068-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110068-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110068.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>In the village of Ganish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_100347-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Views from the village of Ganish\" class=\"wp-image-2203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_100347-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_100347-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_100347-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Views from the village of Ganish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our next stop were the sacred rocks of Hunza. On these big rocks next to the Karakorum Highway thousands of years old buddhist inscriptions are still visible. It was kind of interesting to see, even though one gets quite fast bored staring at rocks. But the views behind them were stunning as ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110075-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The beautiful view behind the sacred stones\" class=\"wp-image-2207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110075-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110075-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110075-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110075.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The beautiful view behind the sacred stones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110080-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Up on the hill sits the oldest fort of the area, Altit Fort\" class=\"wp-image-2208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110080-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110080-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110080-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Up on the hill sits the oldest fort of the area, Altit Fort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our driver had another surprise for us. Before driving to Hopper Valley, we also had a small stop at a ruby mine. It didn\u2019t sound very interesting, but as we managed to find stones with tiny ruby pieces attached to them, we got excited. While Johanna and Carsten focused on the ruby search, Seri explored the long dark tunnels leading through the rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110092-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"On our way to Hopper Valley we saw some cool trucks\" class=\"wp-image-2210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110092-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110092-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110092-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110092.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>On our way to Hopper Valley we saw some cool trucks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110086-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Men at work\" class=\"wp-image-2209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110086-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110086-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110086-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110086.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Men at work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On our way to Hopper Valley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we started our way towards the Hopper Valley. We drove by a riverbank where local families had built camps. They live there to search diamonds from the river. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110104-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The tent village at the riverbank\" class=\"wp-image-2211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110104-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110104-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110104-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110104.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The tent village at the riverbank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then we started ascending to the mountains. Breathtaking mountain views, goats, the vivid autumn colors\u2026 you know, the usual. The sand road leading up was rather narrow at some points, so it almost got exciting. We passed many small villages with streets filled with happy kids on their way to school, seemingly excited to see some foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_120513-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Near Hopper Valley.

From here it would be around 2 hours to walk to the glacier and back. We were offered a guide, but we refused, confident that we will find the way on our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110134-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The glacier seen from up\" class=\"wp-image-2213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110134-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110134-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110134-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110134.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The glacier seen from up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could see the glacier from afar but wanted to make it on top of it this time. The descent was quite steep. When we finally arrived at the side of the glacier, we searched for a way to get on top for a long time, as it was all muddy and hard to cross. The hard work paid off, as the views from on top of it were quite spectacular. We\u2019ve never stood on a glacier before (the one in Passu doesn\u2018t count).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110143-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Goats on the glacier\" class=\"wp-image-2214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110143-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110143-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110143-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110143.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Goats on the glacier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_132041-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"Never been on a glacier before\" class=\"wp-image-2205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_132041-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_132041-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191025_132041-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Never been on a glacier before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After getting back up, all the way to the Hilton Restaurant, we had a lunch there and then drove back to Karimabad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A trip to recommend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t often do daytrips like that.

As you could fit at least five or six passengers to a Landrover like that, it\u2019s also very affordable when you share the costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
