Book Description
With mountains on all sides, the economy that has developed in the area is as rugged as its surroundings. Beyond the wheat and maize . crops they harvest each year, the residents of the area experience an abundant yield of a large variety of fruits and nuts. From apricots to apples, peaches to pomegranates, walnuts to almonds, grapes, mulberries and sweet cherries-the agricultural base of the economy still can feed most of the families.
Some export of this bounty is possible to the down-country parts of Pakistan, but much of what the area produces cannot survive the long, difficult trip down the Karakorum Highway-the all-weather road that passes through the area, linking Pakistan and China.
