Shisper Peak (6711m) a view from Hussaini Village along the KKH. Potato was the cash crop of the valley but after Attabad disaster there is no access to the down cities of Pakistan therefore people are cultivating wheat for their own use only, all livelihood vanished and people suffering allot in health, education and transportation.

Passu Suspension Bridge (701 feet) one of the most attractive tourist spot in lower Gojal, this was one of the three hanging bridges that survived in Attabad lake, the other two Hussaini and Gulmit submerged and became under the sedimentation of Hunza river, these were the only source of communities to other seasonal villages across the Hunza river. now there is no option to go to those villages except traveling very far for many hours traveling.
