So well at around http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Pakistan/Northern-Areas/Minapin/blog-307340.html So the film crew that was in town organised a night of traditional Hunza dancing in order that they could film it for their documentary. All the westerners in town were invited as guests. The sword dancing was particularly cool. All sounds fine. Until that part of the evening when they ask the tourists to dance. Now I know that only a few of you have actually seen me dance but I'm sure the rest http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Pakistan/Northern-Areas/Minapin/blog-278855.html Friday September 15thAfter a few relaxing days in Karimabad it was time to leave for Minapin and Rakaposhi Base Camp trek. We had breakfast checkedout and then walked down from Karimabad to the KKH. We hailed a Suzuki that was going to Aliabad a sort of market town with onward minibus to Minapin. It took about half an hour to get there during which we had to have all our lugages on our knees t http://www.travelblog.org//Asia/Pakistan/Northern-Areas/Minapin/blog-91927.html
