@about safety: Try to get a flight, which will be difficult in the Dec. Although, on they way to heaven there are hurdles but you can pass by using local help, you should try to travel with some one local and use private transport.

In Gilgit-Baltistan you can fly as a bird, we don't have domestic problems, they are foreign friendly areas. Again make a local friend :)

Don't mis Hunza, the little kingdom and Shigar/Khapulo in Baltistan
