Gilgit-BaltistanSettlementProtected
Ganish is a Village in Central Hunza Valley along with Karakorum Highway with 1000 years old UNESCO award won History. This is the first settlement of Hunza. People used to settle coming from different areas/cultures/races and customs. Gradually population grew up and some moved to other parts of Hunza. There are four old mosques which belong to four tribes in Ganish. They were built when Muslims came after Buddhists. Presently only two Old Watch Towers out of 18 have survived.
