Historic Peace Pole: Baltit Fort, Karimabad, Hunza Valley, PAKISTAN

Post at Baltit Fort, Karimabad, Hunza Valley, Pakistan, 2007. Mount Ultar Sar part of the Karakoram Mountain Rainge is in the background. It was here in December 1891 that the Hunza King was forced to submit (at gun point) to small group of British Expeditionary Forces (who arrogantly proceeded to raise their “Union Jack” flag above the fort.)
