In 1960 present Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims, His Highness the Aga Khan, paid his first visit to Hunza valley.
His visit was part of a comprehensive tour that included meetings with the Ismaili Jamat in Gilgit and Ghizar as well. Today the Ismailis of Hunza are celebrating this day with religious zeal and fervor.

It gives immense pleasure that for the first time mowlana Hazir Imam visited Northern areas. The people were living a very hard life there was no proper road and other facilities available . Imam of the time went to saveral places and met the jamat and saw their condition . It was blessing for the area as today we see the progress in the northern areas. Salgirah Mubarak
