Top Places to Visit in Hunza Valley
No Hunza tour is complete without visiting these iconic destinations:
1. Karimabad — Heart of Hunza
Karimabad is the main tourist hub of Hunza Valley. The vibrant Karimabad Bazaar offers local handicrafts, dry fruits, traditional Hunzai clothing, gemstones, and authentic local food. This is where most hotels and guesthouses are located and the best base for exploring Hunza.
2. Baltit Fort — 700 Years of History
Built over 700 years ago in the Tibetan architectural style, Baltit Fort in Karimabad is one of Pakistan’s most iconic monuments and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It served as the residence of the Mirs (rulers) of Hunza and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley below.
3. Altit Fort — 1,100 Years Old
Altit Fort is even older than Baltit — over 1,100 years old — and sits dramatically atop a massive rock overlooking the Hunza River. The guided tours here bring the fascinating history of the Silk Route era to life. At the base of the fort, the Kha Basi Café run by local Hunzai women serves delicious traditional food.
4. Attabad Lake — Pakistan’s Most Stunning Lake
Attabad Lake was formed in 2010 following a massive earthquake-triggered landslide. Today it is one of the most photographed lakes in Pakistan — a striking 21km long turquoise lake set against towering mountains. Activities include boating, jet skiing, ziplining, and lakeside camping.
5. Khunjerab Pass — Top of the World
At 4,693 meters above sea level, Khunjerab Pass is the highest paved international border crossing in the world, marking the Pakistan-China border on the Karakoram Highway. The drive to Khunjerab from Karimabad passes through Upper Hunza’s most dramatic landscapes and offers chances to spot Yaks, Ibex, and Himalayan Markhor in the wild.
6. Eagle’s Nest Viewpoint (Duikar)
Perched at 10,000 feet above sea level, Eagle’s Nest in Duikar village offers the most spectacular panoramic view in all of Hunza — eleven peaks visible simultaneously including Rakaposhi, Lady Finger, Ultar Sar, and Golden Peak. Best visited at sunrise or sunset.
7. Hussaini Suspension Bridge
The Hussaini Suspension Bridge — often called the most dangerous bridge in the world — stretches 750 meters across the Hunza River with loosely spaced wooden planks swaying in the mountain breeze. Crossing it with the Passu Cones towering behind is one of the most thrilling experiences in Pakistan.
8. Passu Cones (Tupopdan)
The Passu Cones — dramatic cathedral-like rock spires rising to 6,106 meters — are one of the most photographed mountains in Pakistan. The view from Passu Village at the base of these cones, especially during Cherry Blossom season, is extraordinarily beautiful.
9. Borith Lake
A serene and peaceful lake at 2,600 meters in Upper Hunza, Borith Lake attracts migratory birds and offers easy trekking trails to nearby glaciers including Passu Glacier, Gulkin Glacier, and Batura Glacier — ideal for beginner trekkers.
10. Old Ganish Village
Ganish Village — meaning “Gold” in the Burushaski language — is the oldest human settlement in Hunza, approximately 1,000 years old, and a double UNESCO Heritage Award winner. Its narrow stone walkways, 400-year-old mosques with intricate wooden carvings, and ancient watchtowers tell the story of the Silk Route era like nowhere else.
