After a touch of morning souvenir shopping we continued with the backtracking that had begun yesterday.
Even though it hadn't been long, and we hadn't really stayed much in these places, it was almost poignant passing back through the Nagar Valley and seeing Gilgit and so on. We eventually stopped for a Chup Sharo lunch we had taken away from Hunza at a little stop near Jaglot (the first one), before turning into The Astore Valley Road.
What a road. This was the quintessential narrow and winding valley road and offered us sights I thought I could only see in films. It was quite the road in other ways too; slow going, we finally reached Astore itself by 4pm.
We carried on to Rama for more vast views, arriving at our hotel for 5pm.
That was enough for today, and even not having any wifi, phones, or hot water didn't bother us... much.
