such notables as Queen Elizabeth, Art Linkletter and N.B.C., The
National Geographic Magazine, Frank Shor, Lowell Thomas, Jr., Chou
En Lai of China. Visitors to Hunza all came back with the same
identical description of the Hunza people:
"Hunza men are straight, tall, broad-shouldered,
deep-chested, slim-waisted, heavy-legged, and have full
heads of hair. Hunza women are straight, tall,
slim-waisted, developed bosoms, perfect complexions, and
luxuriant hair. Both men and women have perfect teeth and
eyesight even at 100 years and older! They are neat,
clean, intelligent and friendly. And you can't find an
overweight person.Hunza women at 80 look no older than North American women
of 40. Fatigue is virtually unknown. Hunza men over 90
years old repeatedly walk the mountain trail of 65 miles
from the town of Gilgit with a full pack and immediately
start to work in the fields again!"

On the way back I pass by some very pretty Hunza women. Their faces are uncovered, and many have striking western type features such as fair hair and skin. Their manner also strikes me as very proud and self-confident. I can’t help thinking that this is a characteristic of mountain dwellers throughout Asia.
