Itinerary
Over 700 years old, Baltit Fort is a symbol of Hunza’s historic resilience. Perched above Karimabad, it offers panoramic views of the Hunza and Nagar Valleys with a dramatic backdrop of snow-covered peaks. A guided tour (entry fee required) brings the region’s fascinating past to life.
This bustling bazaar in the heart of Hunza offers a unique cultural shopping experience. It features traditional clothing, handwoven carpets, organic dry fruits, herbal oils, and intricate jewelry. The market also hosts several eateries known for serving authentic Hunza cuisine.
Dating back more than 900 years, Altit Fort majestically sits on a cliff above the Hunza River. Its well-preserved architecture and sweeping 360° views make it a highlight for history and photography lovers. The site includes the Kha Basi Café, a traditional restaurant offering meals made from local produce. Guided tours are available for a fee.
Located within the Altit Fort premises, this cafe is a culinary destination in itself. It serves traditional Hunza dishes made from organic, locally sourced ingredients, in a serene and historical setting.
A community initiative empowering local women, the Ciqam Project showcases handmade artifacts crafted using local materials. It's a great place to appreciate and support Hunza’s indigenous crafts where women are being empowered to make a decent living while serving the community at the same time.
An architectural gem reflecting centuries-old design and lifestyle. The village is a living museum with traditional houses, community spaces, and local handicraft shops that preserve and promote Hunza’s cultural heritage.
Located a short drive and hike from Altit Village, this viewpoint offers an unforgettable sunrise experience. The first rays of light illuminate peaks like Rakaposhi (7,788m) and Diran (7,266m), casting a golden glow. Other peaks visible include Ultar I & II, Lady Finger, and Golden Peak. It's one of the best spots to view both Hunza and Nagar Valleys.
At over 1,000 years old, Ganish is the oldest surviving settlement in Hunza. Its historic mosques, wooden carvings, and cobbled streets reflect a rich heritage and offer insight into early mountain life and architecture.
