Enjoying the warmer days in a lush garden in this laid-back city was exactly what we had been looking for. We still did a bit of sight-seeing as well. And once again we learned that it is not good to have any fix plans while you travel. The plans tend to change anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110316-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Streets of Danyor\" class=\"wp-image-2281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110316-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110316-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110316-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110316.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Streets of Danyor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110291-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Do you see the laughing goat?\" class=\"wp-image-2274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110291-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110291-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110291-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110291.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Do you see the laughing goat?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Danyor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would have probably never heard of the town called Danyor, right next to Gilgit, if it wasn\u2019t for the Karakorum Bikers. While Seri got his Pakistani evisa in a few hours from sending the application, Johanna was asked to present a letter of invitation, even though we had submitted the same attachments for our applications. After asking around, she managed to get the invitation from a company called Karakoram Bikers. Part of the deal was that we had to book a few nights from this company. Therefore our next destination was Danyor, where they have a homestay called Five Giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First evening in Danyor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Danyor is a small, laid-back town, but is has a busy central bazaar. We arrived at the bazaar from Aliabad with our new Czech friend Pascal, aka Shit Pee, with a fully stuffed minibus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191027_145808-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"The fully stuffed bus\" class=\"wp-image-2267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191027_145808-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191027_145808-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191027_145808-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The fully stuffed bus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We didn\u2019t have to walk long, until a pick-up truck drove past us and the kids standing on its back yelled us to hop on. You don\u2019t even have to hitch-hike in Pakistan in order to get a ride. There was only a small path that wasn\u2019t marked on maps leading from the dusty main road to the guesthouse. We were greeted by Nawaz and his baby dog, Loki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110274-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Loki <3\" class=\"wp-image-2269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110274-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110274-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110274-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110274.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Loki &lt;3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guesthouse was basically everything we had been hoping for. A peaceful place with a lush garden with fruit trees, and the weather was much warmer than up on the hills of Karimabad. Nawaz, who was a really nice guy and also an excellent cook, prepared us some curry. The dinner, which we enjoyed traditionally sitting on the floor, was delicious. After eating Nawaz put some fire in the oven. A warm place was what we had been missing for the last evenings. So, we stayed our whole first evening cozily at the guesthouse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110273-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Dinner time in Five Giants\" class=\"wp-image-2268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110273-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110273-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110273-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110273.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dinner time in Five Giants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sightseeing in Danyor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day Shit Pee continued his way to Islamabad and we two did some sightseeing in Danyor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110277-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Nawaz ready to bring Pascal to the bus station.

During the construction of the Karakoram Highway at least thousand men lost their lives working in the extreme conditions. Majority of them were of Pakistan origin but some also Chinese. Around hundred of the unfortunate Chinese construction workers are buried on this graveyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110288-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"China Yadgar\" class=\"wp-image-2272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110288-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110288-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110288-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110288.jpg 1872w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>China Yadgar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we headed to a suspension bridge (again).

Being this late on the year at the Karakoram area means that getting to many places has gotten more difficult because of snow. That\u2019s why we decided to skip our initial plan of staying at Fairy Meadows and hiking to the Nanga Parbat Base Camp. We needed a new plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After researching the possible options for some hours, we decided to travel to Skardu, some ten-hour bus ride from Gilgit. The next morning, we were all packed up, ready to leave. And then we got the info that there has been a massive landslide last night and that the road to Skardu was completely blocked. There\u2019s another road leading to Skardu but it was also closed, because of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hoped that the landslide area gets cleared by the next morning, so we stayed one more day in Danyor. Maybe it was good anyway. We had some time to do laundry, write the blog and play with our little friend Loki. As Nawaz was busy and not too much around and there were no other guests, we could just enjoy ourselves and for a change even cook our own food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110308-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Loki pretending to be a peaceful dog\" class=\"wp-image-2278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110308-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110308-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110308-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/P1110308.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Loki pretending to be a peaceful dog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day we wanted to move on, no matter what.
