Mir Winter Palace Gulmit
Gilgit-BaltistanPalaceProtected
The Mirs Palace is under restoration. Until the early 70s the Mir of Hunza lived here for three months of the year, presiding over local darbars (councils). A cluster of houses to the left of the palace is the original village. The tallest of these is said to be Gulmits oldest, possibly 200 years old; before the palace was built the Mir stayed in it on his Gulmit sojourns.
