Chilas is an extraordinary place in the heart of the Himalayas, where mountains meet the sky and time seems to stand still in the majesty of nature. Located in the Indus Valley, Chilas is an oasis of tranquility and beauty, attracting travelers from all over the world.
The majestic cliffs and gorges that surround this village create stunning landscapes that change their hues throughout the day with the sunlight. The view of snow-capped mountain tops and green meadows stretching to the horizon makes you forget about everything in the world except the here and now.
We do not come to Gilgit for the charm of the city, but because it is an important stopover on the Silk Road (Karakoram), and a starting point for trekking, skiing or mountaineering programs, because it has a small airport open all year round.
It is a city that brings together several villages and appear as city districts.
One of the interesting sites is the Buddha carved in the mountain to the west of the city, the Kargah Buddha, Yshani
