A 26-year-old foreign woman trekker has died after falling off a cliff in Pakistan's scenic Hunza-Nagar district of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Yu-Ching Chang, a Taiwanese national, fell from a cliff in Hunza valley on Friday as she and a French climber, Xaurier, were returning from the nearby glacier, authorities said.
Dawn reported that Xaurier informed Gujal police and local people about the accident and a team comprising six policemen and 12 local youths were dispatched to the area to rescue the Taiwanese tourist.
Her body was recovered yesterday and was taken to central Hunza by the rescuers.
The Hunza valley is equally popular with tourists and trekkers, who often trek here in some of the world's most dangerous mountain passes without guides as the area is considered relatively safe for foreigners.
