Chilas to Jagalot….Now I was in tourist country- the first I have noticed- all Pakistani tourists. I have also noticed quite a few motorcycle tourists on the road- maybe some of them are foreigners- impossible to tell.
Another thumbs down hotel in Jaglot and no internet.
Crossed over to the other side of the Indus and an easy 50 kms. to Gilgit.
I was greatly relieved today by being able to withdraw cash from an ATM. It is not such a simple matter in Pakistan. In Lahore I had to go to 7 different ATMs before finding one that would accept an international Visa card. I was afraid I might not find a single one in Gilgit. I was also able to buy an essential Allen key I would need for any flat tyre situation.
The hotel here in Gilgit is good. Here is a short video of the Indus
