A Town Run By Women
“Heaven is all around us. All we need is perception.”
Gulmit. Beautiful, beautiful Gulmit.
I would not be wrong if I said Gulmit is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth.
It is a secluded town is District of Hunza, located in the Gilgit Baltistan province, in northern Pakistan.
I still remember everything like it was yesterday.
How the gush of chilly wind welcomed me when I stepped out of the car.
How I inhaled the freshest breathe of clean, pure air, feeling more awake than I ever had felt.
I was instantly rewarded with a breathtaking view of the majestic mountain with their glazed, frosted tips. Exactly how I had imagined them to be.
Somehow I had stepped into a painting. Or the most beautiful dream, I have ever had.
