In a nutshell
Hunza genuinely offers an experience of a lifetime!
7 Reviews The state of Hunza was ruled for over 1000 years by the same family with their seat of power at the Baltit Fort. It is located on a large rocky outcrop at the base of the might Ultar Peaks (claimed by locals that no one has reached its summit). This fort was renovated and reopened in 1997, and...
6 Reviews The ultimate climax of the trip on the KKH is the Khunjerab Pass, which is at an altitude of 4,733 meters (15,620 feet). It is one of the highest paved road connecting Pakistan Northern area to China western provinces. From Sust, the immigration post on Pakistan's side, you climb gradually till you...
5 Reviews You have to get up pretty early in the morning if you want to see a beautiful sunrise over Gulmit or Passu cathedrals. The arches on the mountain makes a setting for a beautiful and colorful show, with sun's rays hitting the ridge at an angle...resulting in a panoramic dance of light and shadows...
5 Reviews From Hunza you can also arrange a trip to snow lake(Bifao,Hispar Glaciers) Hispar Pass - The crossing point between Baltistan and Hunza valley is the Hispar pass which is at the elevation of 5151 meters from the top looking back gives a feeling of vast snowy space without a hint of vegetation....
4 Reviews Rakhaposhi is a magnificent peak, towering over 7,788 m and is easily visible from KKH and karimabad and its surrounding areas. The first major glimpse that you can enjoy is from an area called ZERO point (right on KKH) where you get a magnificent view of the peak, with glacier fed streams running...
3 Reviews One natural & most dangerous thing is to cross the rivers in Shimshal valley by perilous aerial runways, alone among the powerful elements(cable bridges) but its all a great fun..These are made by local people with local resources & area used to carry people & luggage..
2 Reviews It z a marvelous river in the valley and it add more beauty to the valley.It is wonderfull site to visit.it z fed by glaciers and flowes into river Indus.the mountains r mainly of mud rather tan of rocks.The river cuts through the Karakoram ranges.Recently a mountain has collapsed thus blocking the...
2 Reviews he green and forested Naltar Valley receives more rainfall than other areas in the Hunza Valley, and its alpine scenery is a refreshing change in the arid Karakoram. The Naltar Valley runs north-west from Nomal village, on the west bank of the Hunza River 25 km north-east of Gilgit. Naltar was a...
2 Reviews Pakistan Airlines operates daily 2 flights from Islamabad to Gilgit, leaving daily at 0645 am and 0945 am (please check PIA website as time may change from season to season). Planes are new ATR 42-500, twin propeller with a seating capacity of 48, which have replaced the ageing fleets of FOKKER-F27....
2 Reviews The Karakoram Highway starts from the town of Manshera and ends in Kashgar in China. The ride from Islamabad to Gilgit is roughly about 15 hours. However, for tourists who have time, there is another way which is much more enjoying. From Islamabad, leave for Nathiagali. Spend a night or two at...
1 Review This is the road from Gilgit to Chitral which passes through stunningly beautiful areas and the road is also stunning. It is a very rough ride and it certainly is the "highway to hell" (for some reason you get several of these in Pakistan's Northern Areas). However, this road passes through the...
1 Review The Hunza hats are famous through out the whole world. They are available at all common shops in Hunza and are very cheap. Hunza hats are embroidered by hand and are a must buy in Hunza. Hunza hats are very cheap, for less than 10$. Dont forget to negotiate. You are in PAKISTAN.
3 Reviews KKH is a feet of engineering where over 1000 people lost their lives. The road is carved through various mountains passes and is subject to landslides, especially during rainy season. When a landslide occurs, traffic can be blocked for days. However Pak Army engineers of Road Maintenance Battalion...
1 Review The city of Gilgit is impressive, but then again not so impressive. It is a big city, with restaurants, houses, hotels, etc but has no major attraction. However, it has benefited from the beauty of its northern counterparts. People usually stay here a lot. It can get very good in Gilgit, upto 40...
5 Reviews A quaint little hamlet about 20 minuted further north from main Karimabad. Nice place to go for a short hike that takes you to an old fort, as well towards Gulmit Glacier, and you end up near Borith Lake. Very quite and serene surroundings, and early in the morning you can view the sunrise over...
1 Review The dawn in these areas are mostly missed by travellers who are tired at want to sleep but please wake up for a few minutes and experience this. The dawn is beautiful, Azaa'n (call to prayer) from the Muezzin has a strange echo in this mountainous region which is refreshing. See the mountains with...
1 Review The Horse Polo of these Northern Areas are famous throughout Pakistan. The ball is hit around at amazing speeds and the horses do well to keep up with the ball. The spectators also have to be brave and sit above a low wall to which the ball hits and rebounds into play. The music also dictates the...
1 Review Rock climbing is done in Hunza And Baltistan (coming soon). The best option for rock climbing in Pakistan is definitely The Trango Towers, the finest rock pinnacle in the world. It is located in the Baltoro Glacier, Baltistan. Keep your passport and visas and also get a permit before doing such a...
1 Review The Golden Peak Range is located it the Passu-Gulmit area and are a wonderful chain of mountains that look gold in the sunlight. The best place to view them is near the Hunza River which is quite flat near this area and provides wonderful reflections of the mountains.
1 Review Fairy Meadows lie below the Killer Mountain, Nanga Parbat, which is the largest mountain in the world and the last bastion of the Great Himalayas in the West. Below it lie the calm and serene Fairy Meadows, one of the most beautiful places in this world and a definite must-see on everybody's list....
