Alluring Karimabad Girls

Karimabad is one of the most outstanding
historic settlements in the northern
areas.

One of the many habitats located
below the rugged karakoram mountains, it
signifies human ability to tame an
extremely hostile natural environment
for the purpose of survival. Its
topography and the nature of the soil
dictated the layout of the built fabric
and the man made cultivated terraces,
while the settlement is located on rocky
ground. Its cultivatable area was
terraced thousands of years ago to
create meandering agriculture fields,
orchards and meadows.

The houses and the
retaining walls of the cultivated
terraces have been constructed with the
use of local materials (mainly stone),
which helps in creating a perfectly
harmonious balance with its natural
surroundings. Proper karimabad is the
most recent settlement in the baltit
area. It began as a small group of
houses just below the bazaar near
hilltop hotel. Unlike the old settlement
of khurukushal khun and diramishal khun
near the fort, this settlement appears
not to have housed many farmers and
appears to have consisted mainly of the
mirs court and their employees. This
newer settlement has now expanded, in
the form of a main bazaar, to well
beyond the area around the mir's 1923
residence and stretches right up to the
settlement near the baltit fort. In
fact, karimabad now lends its name to
the larger valley of baltit including
other settlements such as brongshal,
barashal, ghaimash, mominabad and other
smaller settlements lower down the
valley along the smarkand kool; the main
channel which is connected to the ulter
stream on the east side of karimabad.
The people of karimabad are comprised
traditionally of four distinct tribal or
clan communities, namely the diramiting,
the khurukutz, the barataling and the
brong. There is a fifth community, the
beryricho.

In the past however the
beryrichos provided servants, handymen,
smith and musicians and were considered
a service class.
