History

According to oral tradition, the settlement of Ganish already existed in the mid-fifteenth century when the Burushaski-speaking sub-regions of Hunza and Nagar were under the kingdom of Gilgit. Ganish was recognised for its strategic location on the branch of the Silk Route leading out of the Karakoram into Uighur China (Xinjiang), but has now suffered from its location on the Karakoram Highway.  The living historic village, popularly known as Ganish Khun, is about one thousand years old, with a small community working towards improving its quality of life. Berchatin,Budinkuch,Shiskinkuch are the main castes in Ganish while China used to stay in this village because Ganish lies on the ancient Silk Route. Traces still can be seen on the Karakorum Highway near Ganish Bridge, and are nowadays known as the Sacred Rocks of Hunza.

These unique structures, which were decaying owing to the ravages of time and lack of financial and technical resources, have been restored to some of their old glory with the assistance from Norway and Spain. Few years ago there were 14 ancient watch towers built to defend the village from attack, but now only three of them are standing in good condition. People of Ganish used to be famous for their raids against Nagar. In the 19th century this was Hunza’s main stronghold against Ismailism, and today it’s an integrated Shiite community. It’s Hunza-Nagar’s oldest settlement with an ancient village centre bursting with rejuvenated classic Hunza architecture. Caravans from Central Asia and
