I get what you are saying. I didn't feel this way when I was in Hunza, but Skardu... although equally beautiful, made me feel trapped. The scenery along the road to Skardu was so off-putting, I'd never want to travel on that route again. I couldn't put a finger on what I was feeling at that time. But yeah, I felt confined.

I thought it was just me because my husband couldn't relate to me on this.
