Plan Your Hunza and Khunjerab Pass Holiday

Khunjerab Pass is a natural choice for travellers exploring Upper Hunza, but the best itinerary depends on how much time you have. A day trip works for visitors already staying in Hunza, while a longer holiday gives you more time for local villages, mountain viewpoints, historic forts, and lakes.

Khunjerab Pass is a famous mountain destination in Gilgit-Baltistan, located on the Pakistan–China border at approximately 4,693 metres (15,397 feet) above sea level. Situated along the spectacular Karakoram Highway, it is one of the world’s highest paved international border crossings and a major highlight of any Hunza Valley tour. Completed in 1982, the road connects Pakistan’s Upper Hunza region with China’s Xinjiang region. The journey from Hunza passes through scenic mountain valleys, Passu, Gulmit, and Sost, offering impressive views of the Karakoram Mountains along the way.

May to September is generally the best period to plan a Khunjerab Pass tour, although weather, road conditions, and access restrictions can affect travel. Visitors can travel from Islamabad by road or fly to Gilgit and continue by road through Hunza. Due to the high altitude and changing mountain weather, travellers should carry warm clothing, drink water regularly, and allow enough time for the journey. We offer customized Khunjerab Pass tour packages from Hunza or Gilgit, with transport, sightseeing, and itinerary options tailored to your travel dates, group size, and budget.

Things to Consider When Traveling to Khunjerab Pass

• Travel is dangerous and challenging because of the high altitude, which increases the risk of altitude sickness, bad weather, hazardous roads, and general inconvenience.
• Take your medicine, food, and other essentials on long trips.
• Choose your time wisely. The long, relatively flat roads are often covered in snow in winter.
  
• The border is open from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. On the Pakistani side, it’s open from 11 am to 8 pm here in China.
• Don’t forget warm clothes, as the weather can be very cold and freezing.
• It is recommended to bring more water to prevent altitude sickness.
• Carry a first-aid kit. People with respiratory issues or altitude sickness should take extra care and keep their medication/inhaler with them.

Planning a trip to a high-altitude destination involves more than choosing a vehicle and following a map. The route, weather, road conditions, hotel location, and daylight hours all shape your experience. When you book with Pakistan Tour and Travel, we arrange for you:
