Restored second half of article. It had been deleted by an anonymous user in an apparent act of vandalism. Lexington1 ( talk) 04:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
The disambig page Hunza should be like this:

If the Hunza lived until 100 years old they would be vastly studied as obviously they have some secrets that modern medicine ahs not answered. I sincerely doubt this claim, and want to see evidence.
I cant be bothered to remove it as I know it will return, but can someone look into this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.184.30.132 ( talk) 19:25, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Culture and Traditions In Northern Pakistan "Chitral, Gilgit, Hunza and Baltistan" Noroz is celebrated as a socio-religious festival. It is also celebrated with much fervour in Balochistan and in the urban centres of Karachi and Lahore. The day coincides with the coming of spring season on March 21, but the celeberation continues for weeks. In Baltistan, the main feature of Norouz is gifting of coloured eggs to friends and playing polo, volley ball, hockey and football, westling, tug of war alongside folk dances, songs and music and exhibition of handicraft. While in Balochistan, the festival is marked with outdoor feasts, and the traditional jumping over a fire to wash away sins and usher in a fresh start. The origins of this festival are pre-Islamic and date back to when Pakistan was part of the Persian Empire for several thousand years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.255.42.114 ( talk) 09:05, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Kautilya3, I would appreciate if you would be working with me on this, as I am still new, instead of being so aggressive. I am willing to learn and improve as an editor, but it becomes difficult if you just revert without discussing it with me. The source clearly spoke about Brahmi graffiti. I used that, and used other common knowledge to develop my edit. I should have used this [1] article as well. But, that was my mistake. Please help me improve the article with these sources, instead of fighting with me. I am old enough to know when I am belittled. [1] Kindly give me your suggestions on how you want to develop my work. Zakaria1978 ( talk) 03:50, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

The region has many works of graffiti in the ancient Brahmi script written on rocks, produced by Buddhist monks as a form of worship and culture. [1] With the majority of locals converting to Islam, they had been left largely ignored, destroyed or forgotten, but are now being restored. [2]

Hi, I am not sure if the following qualifies as reputable source because it's a private homepage but maintained by renowned Himalaya expert Günter Seyfferth. He writes the altitude difference from Ghulmet to the summit of Rakaposhi is 5,900 m over a distance of 9 km, thus the deepest gorge in the world even beating the difference between the summit of Dhaulagiri and the bottom of the Kali Gandaki Gorge in Nepal. Maybe worth adding to the article. (The largest altitude difference of 7,045 m is between the summit of Nanga Parbat (8,125 m) and Gunar (1,080 m) over a distance of 22.4 km.)

The Hunza Valley is located in Gilgit-Baltistan which India claims to be part of its territory and so does Pakistan. So it is not truth to state that the valley is in Pakistan. Srivatsan ( talk) 20:43, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hence it is appropriate to state in this Article that Hunza Valley is in Gilgit-Baltistan region of India. Srivatsan ( talk) 20:46, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
I don't understand your logic or statement. If you read my proposal correctly I am saying entire Jammu and Kashmir region including Gilgit-Baltistan I'd part of India. This is the official position of Republic of India. Everything else is speculation or politics. Srivatsan ( talk) 14:28, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Agreed. If both India and Pakistan claims the entire state as their own, why is the page curre tly state that Hunza Valley is in Pakistan? If you noticed that is exactly the change I made in the page. Srivatsan ( talk) 11:41, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
