Chaprote

Chaprote is one of the earliest villages in the Hunza–Nagar District in the Gilgit-Baltistan region. It is a scenic area, in which the literacy rate is more than 80%.

Many miles of terraced fields and fruit orchards mark Chaprote, the earlier capital of Nagar Valley. It offers a panoramic view of the Rakaposhi and other peaks surrounding Nagar Valley. It is about 70 kilometres (43 mi) from the city of Gilgit and it takes a van about 1 hour to cover the distance.

Chaprote is the center of a form of shamanism called “Danyalism”.[1]
