Ganish Village

Hello,

Good Morning.
In Hunza we have three old villages.Ganish village is the most

oldest village in Hunza.Basically Ganish means the ''junction of road''.

In ancient time the there was a ''Silk Route''going to different areas.

The ancient people were going by this way to China,Tibet,and India,

Afghanistan,Ghandahara.Specially the monks,students were going to

Ghandahara for study about Buddhism.

The settelment in Ganish is very interesting.When Islamism has

came in Hunza,the local people has built five mosque.Which its wood

carving is really interesting.And the pool in centre of Ganish Village

is brriliant,because the people said that,it used for training of swiming.

In 1970 there was a big flood on Hunza river,because of this flood

arround 70 percent village has dimaged.And it was saying that,there
was 14 towers arround the village for watching the enemies.But now
there is only 1 or 2 towers are left.
