- This is my third year living in Hunza with my two children. In this vlog I have tried to give a comprehensive response to the FAQs that I have received in the past 2 years. What made me take this decision and how I made it possible and other implications. I would gladly answer if you have anymore questions.
This time, I am on a quest to spend the whole year in the mountains, experiencing all the seasons. I am going to be the first urban Pakistani woman to spend the entire winter in the mountains, along with children. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook for more stories on my first winter in the mountains and a lot more. #365daysinhunza #wintersinhunza #gilgitbaltistan

Sadia,you have been able, not only to dream, but to chase these too.It shows your strong belief in yourself n confidence.Stay where your heart draws satisfaction n happiness.Praying for your well being n success!
Thank you so very much.
Wow that’s amazing to see you living in Hunza! My dream place!
I first went to Hunza 30 odd years ago and fell in love with this place and it’s people. Since then, I always dreamed of living there but work and life kept me away. I went back to visit two more times since then but it’s not easy for me to just uproot myself from the other side of the world and make Hunza my home.
I’d love to see you make a vlog about your daily routine in Altit especially shopping for groceries in those small shops and talking to local people.
Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to your vlogs.
I am a Bangladeshi Widow. I have three sons. No girls. The eldest son lives with his wife in America. The middle boy does business in the country. The younger son will be admitted to the undergraduate. There is no peace in my country. Living in the state of adulteration. I have heard that, people of Hunza community are stretch free. They have no worries. Everything from the air to the water is very natural. So they do not have any disease. Hoping for peace. So, I want to live in Hanza for a while. Is it possible mem?
I cant even explain how helpful this video this. Totally respect your decision ❤
Thank you so much 💓

Last year me 7th October apni birthday ky lya first time Hunza aye the or Dill wahi kahi un paharo me he reh gya ha shaid 💕 Hunza ky log or landscape I love it 💕
Mera dil bhi idhar hi reh gaya tha jub pehli dafa yahan ai thi ❤.
Super video and the way you are replying everyone's queries is amazing...
It takes a courage and patience to shift from one big place like Lahore to a small city like Hunza...
Since you mentioned that healthy eating is a myth but the atmosphere is healthy at least wese bhi healthy eating habits depends on the person not the environment...
Well I really admire the big decisions you took for your life and wish you best of luck and lots of happiness and great life ahead... ameeen :)
Ambreen thank you so much for the encouragement. ❤

Just living is not enough
how much is the average rent per month if I want to rent a house in the central Hunza (with internet). For a couple one or two rooms.
I can't answer that precisely because there are no hard and fast rules and it also depends on the location of the house. But seriously, they can demand ANYTHING from you. If you want more details then please contact Salma: 0313 5401123.
Nice video 👍👍👍
Home schooling kese ki jati or ap kese karti hai us per ek video bana den please sister
Okay. I will try my best to make a video on it.

Rate of crime in GB is 0. peoples r so humble and very loving I also want to live in GB. I appreciate to you and your faimly.
🙏🏻🙏🏼
Well really good to see so in 2023 are you still there?
No, we are not there currently.
Amazing and credible venture by you. Are you still living in Hunza?
Not currently. Plan to go back again in the future. Filhaal residence is in Islamabad.
3 rooms house ka rent kitna hy wahan or kiya hum karachi se wahan akr use purchase b kr sakte hain?
Purchase karna itn simple nahi hai. Mujhay purchasing kay baray mein zada nahi pata. Rent bhi koi fix nahi hain. Yahan bedrooms wala system nahi hai.
Mam kia ap bta sekti hen ky hunza mein makaan ka rent kitna hai for two persons?
I am sorry, I have no idea.

Houses are not for sale over there. So the question of prices doesn't arise.
very nice
Salam rent kayak hy room ka makan?
Pata nahi....fix nahi hain rate.
You are a gorgeous woman..😍
Salaam.
Salaam. Born in Lahore, grew up in London, lived in France, Greece, Italy and America, have mad digital skills, very conscience about Islam. I want to move to Hunza, will your husband need an employee?
Let me ask him. How can you be contacted?
Can u ask what is the monthly cost of living there and kindly tell the rent i am asking coz Hunza mersmerises me and i want to spend some time in its lap
There are no hard and fast rules for rents there. It is not a commercial market where there is a property dealer showing you options. It is just a village. You can go and try your luck. The cost of living is the same as everywhere else in Pakistan.
I was just writing abt kids schooling n u told u do home schooling. Whats ur plan until which grade home schooling will gonna work. Are there good schools i hope there would b because hunza is place of ismaili community and they invested alot in hunza.
Yes, there are good schools here in Hunza. This is the most educated community of Pakistan.
As for us, I plan to homeschool my children till O levels. After that we will see what to do.

MEDICAL professional vala Agr odr shift ho to Koii job wagera ka issue to Ni Hoga na ?
I am not in a position to answer that question. Pehlay job dhondain, phir shift hon.
Assalam o alkum sister kiya ap abhi b hunza ma hain. Mane shift hona h tu mjy kuch basic info caheya.
I don't live here anymore.
You have made an excellent choice. Please inform on the following: -
1. What are the expenses of a rented house as compared to a similar house in Lahore? and is it easily available?
2. What is the electricity availability situation?
3. Heating in winters of -20 C is based on wood or gas?
4. Are locals friendly to outsiders?
Very thankful for your time.
Expenses of a rented house are almost the same as in any other city. But houses are not easily available. It is just a village and you know what village houses are like.
Electricity problem is severe with almost no electricity in winter.
Heating is done through through wood. (I have a few vlogs on it if you are interested)
Locals are friendly.
@@SaadiaSharjeelVlogs Hi, with due respect how your husband use to work in winters if there is some electricity issues going on? as i am in the same field and moving skardu like next month everything is settled down there. please reply it would be really appreciated. Thanks
Apne ghar buy KIA h ya rental h ? Agar buy KIA h to method KIA h buying k
Ghar rent oar hai. Yahan outsiders ko ghar nahi baichtay.
ager purchase karen to kitni amount me mil sakta hy?
I have no idea at all. It depends on the house and location of course.
My sister it would be nice if you could give replies to all questions and query about Hunza … especially when it comes to the rentals and if there are a some job opportunities in the Education area there …especially for women teachers… I am a US citizen but was born in Pakistan and have lived in Skardu when I was a teenager… So now after all this time when I am a sixty year old woman, reflecting back I feel confident that my area of interest is focused now and it would be nice if you could help others help the community there and breathe the air of Hunza by thanking Allah ( swt) for such an opportunity … to begin with, Alhumdulillah!
PS: I would luv to have a positive response to my question soon …
Rukhsana, people ask me a lot of questions about rents in Hunza. The reason I cannot give a clear cut answer on that is that there are no fixed rules and regulations about that here. Anybody can ask you anything ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 Rupees. A lot depends on the condition of the house and the size and location. Secondly, Hunza does not have a property market like a city. It is just a village.
As for your question about job opportunities in the education sector. The answer is that yes, there are many opportunities. People of Hunza value education and they have a very good education system in place here. I am sure you will be able to do a lot here. From finding a job, to opening a school of your own. I guess the best course of action would be to get in touch with Agha Khan Education Services for a job.

I Want to Settle there too. I am italian, my husband is from Alyabad. Inshallah we will Leave Belgium and build ouf own house on his plot.
That would be so great 👍.
Where are you residing

@shazzy smartian Are you from Hunza?
Plot rate ?
What was the rent for your house in hunza? And your vlog is very unique. i was looking at some hunza vlogs and stumble at your's. really glad that i did.
Thank you so much for the appreciation. My house rent in Hunza was 30,000.
Saadia how can I find rental house?
The only way to find a house there is to go there and talk to people.
Assalamo alaikum. I would like to know the religion of the people of Hunza. Also any mosque where Friday's prayer takes place?
They are Muslims and yes, and yes you will find misques to pray.
@@SaadiaSharjeelVlogs But visitors say you will never hear call for prayers...azaan while you are in Hunza
We also want to shift to hunza what if we invest 20 lakhs what business can we do over there?
That is for you to find out. I can't be of much help here.
Love how you explain everything! My family is also want to move to Hunza, can you please tell what are the price of houses there if we purchase and also please tell about the rents as well. Thanks in advance.
The rent varies according to the house size and location. I have not been living there for the past two years so don't know the latest rent.
Purchasing a house is not possible there if you don't belong to GB. You need a GB domicile for that.
What is cost of living there ??
House rent and other groceries expenses??
House rent can vary from 5000 to 15,000 or even more. Depends on the house and its location. Groceries cost the same as anywhere else in Pakistan.
hello ma'am. muje ye pochna tha k hunza k logo me bej me rehna kesy laga apko.. or hunza k log kesy hen?
Mujhay Hunza mein rehna buhat acha laga. Log buhat achay hain.
Aapi gher ki prices kya hain wahan?matlab kya aik normal person akar gher khareed sakta hai chota sa?
Yahan as such bahar kay logon ko property nahi baichtay ye log. Koi exception ho sakta hai. Magar agar aap khareedain tou har jagah ki tarha mehnga sasta ho ga. Achi or central location mehangi or zara hut kay sasta.
@@SaadiaSharjeelVlogs thank you aapi :)

Yes. Hunza mein buhat load shedding hoti hai. In fact there is almost no electricity during winter.

I am on rent. And expense is the same as anywhere else in Pakistan.
Hi there,
Just saw your vlog for the first time and it was very encouraging. Especially learning about your husband being a digital marketeer. this leads me to the question about how good the internet connection is there? do you have fibre optic/broadband level of internet available in hunza?
Well, the answer is that the internet is very good in the village where we live. But that is not the case with all the other vallies and villages.
I am not very technical so I can't say if it is broad band or fiber optics. I think it is fiber optics. But internet in our village is as good as it was in Lahore.
@@SaadiaSharjeelVlogs May I know the name of the village. I am a freelancer and looking for a house (rent) for a couple and my biggest concern is internet there.
if you cant tell your village name here for privacy reason, u can send me an email (empresarioglobal21@gmail.com). I will really appreciate. Thanks

I am sorry, I cannot. Besides, outsiders are not allowed to buy property in Gilgitbaltistan.
@@SaadiaSharjeelVlogs ok, thank you
@@SaadiaSharjeelVlogsstop misguiding people. I am from Lahore but i can show you plenty of properties in very less rates in skardu, shighar and khaplu valley.
Hi great video, can you please share resources of homeschooling.We are in canada at the moment and looking into homeschooling but do not know where to get started.Also can you share how do you plan to heat the house in winter.Do you have gas there ? Any water issues ?
Esp hot water
For homeschooling, if you are confused, feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start, then I would suggest that you read a few books and clear your thinking. That will help you know what to do. John Holt books are very famous for homeschooling.
For the resources, internet is full of them and it will not be possible for me to list them here. I also have a homeschooling blog on Facebook. You can check that out if you desire:

@@Mehreen_Asif For heating you have to burn firewood. Water issues exist as water freezes in winter. Water needs to be heated on fire/stove. There is no electricity in winters. Gas cylinders are available in winter. I have made quite a few vlogs on my first winter in the mountains.

Hi, Its Robina adeel From Lahore, We want to settle in Hunza permanently in Hunza, can you give me some details, as my elder daughter is studying in Turkey, but my younger daughter is in grade 4. can she get admission there, what about the small houses rent ? and another factor is the western life style, can my daughter live accordingly as living in lahore, is the society friendly and we heard that only ismaili muslims live there, we belong to sunni family, so is it possible for you to live there , what is the public behavior. we will shift there within next three months. so please reply me so that we can take decision ? can we get basic level facilities over there. by the way me and my husband are journalists
I should tell you that this woman is totally useless regarding these important information. She made this channel just for her own attention and nothing else. In more then 3 years she didn’t even know that people from punjab and other provinces can also buy properties. Wastage of time she is. I can show you plenty of available lands in skardu region as in hunza properties are very expensive
