Baba Ghundi in the Chuparsan valley of Hunza is the shrine of the famous Pir of Ghund from Afghanistan who is celebrated in legend as the saint who brought devastation to the valley. The saint is not actually buried here. The Mir of Hunza maintains quarters here and used to visit the shrine every year. His subjects also revere the saint and it is said that children who are a problem for their parents have only to taste the mud from a stream near Baba Ghundi after which they become obedient and well behaved. Nazir Sabir the mountaineer from Raminji began his election campaign from here and was elected to the Northern Areas, Pakistan council. He said his parents had fed him quite a bit of mud from Baba Ghundi hence his successes in life.
