You like to visit Northern part of Pakistan on your holiday. Your favorite place there is Hunza Valley. In this contest I read a user's entry he wants to visit a district Shangla in Pakistan in his next trip and as far as I know this place is also in Northern part of Pakistan. I have no doubt about the beauty in Northern Pakistan. I agree with you, if you travel there you should hire local transportation drivers because they are familiar with the roads there, they can give accurate information about the best spots, best food there. Best wishes to you.
