The town is surrounded by dry rugged mountains and sand dunes. <br /> <br />The weather is unquestionably cold at the start of the year, but if you’re prepared and have packed appropriately you can enjoy the many activities and festivals that take place during the Hunza & Skardu winter. There are popular cultural and sporting events and some incredible wildlife experiences, but perhaps best of all is the amazing phenomenon illuminating the dark winter skies known of course as the Northern Lights. <br /> <br />Northern Areas Of Pakistan is your destination for daily Exploring with fresh videos every day. <br /> <br />Follow my social media accounts for daily mind-blowing Destinations. <br /> <br />Subscribe us on YouTube - <br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNzOkZEcKBRPK949JLZuxLg <br /> <br />Follow us on Dailymotion - <br />http://www.dailymotion.com/northernareasofpakistan <br /> <br />Follow us on Twitter - <br />https://twitter.com/NorthernAOP <br /> <br />Like us on Facebook - <br />https://www.facebook.com/northernareasofpakistan <br /> <br />Follow us on Instagram - <br />https://www.instagram.com/northernaop <br /> <br />Follow us on Pinterest - <br />https://www.pinterest.com/NorthernAOP <br /> <br /> <br />If you have any copyright issues then please contact me directly on - <br />northernareasofpakistans@gmail.com <br /> <br />Thanks for taking the time to view Northern Areas Of Pakistan Videos.
