SAVING SHANGRI-LA - 2003-08-04

The Hunza Valley has one of the most educated populations in Pakistan, and that includes the women. As members of the Ismailis Sect of Islam, under the influence of the Aga Khan, women here have a much freer way of life than in other parts of the Muslim State...Most significantly there has been a concerted effort by the Aga Khan Foundation to preserve the very things that made Hunza so unique.
