Why Book With Us
We’ve been running trips to Hunza for over 12 years. Our team has driven both the Karakoram Highway and the Babusar route more times than we can count, in summer heat and in winter snow. That experience shows in how we plan every itinerary — we build in buffer days for flight delays, know which hotels actually deliver on the mountain views they promise, and keep local contacts who can rearrange things on the ground when the weather turns.
We hold a valid DTS licence (ID-2650). It’s not just a formality for us. It means we follow the regulations set by the Department of Tourist Services, carry proper insurance cover for the vehicles, and can be held accountable if something goes wrong. Many operators skip this step. We don’t.
Every package is built around private transport, a local driver who knows the roads, and hotels we have used ourselves. Breakfast is included, entry tickets are arranged, and you can still change the plan if you want more time at Attabad Lake or an extra night in Karimabad. We keep communication open before and during the trip so you’re never left guessing.
If you want a trip that feels organised without feeling rigid, this is how we work.

Hunza Tour Packages from Islamabad, Lahore & Karachi
We organise complete trips no matter which city you start from. Here’s how our Hunza packages work from the main departure points in Pakistan.
Hunza Tour from Islamabad
Islamabad is our main base. By road the journey takes 12 to 14 hours along the Hazara Expressway and Karakoram Highway. If you prefer flying, the flight to Gilgit is only 45 minutes, followed by a private transfer of about two hours to Karimabad. Most of our 5-day and 7-day packages are planned around this route.
Hunza Tour from Rawalpindi
Guests starting from Rawalpindi follow the same route as Islamabad. We arrange direct pickup from your hotel or home address early in the morning so you can join the group or private vehicle without any extra hassle.
Hunza Tour from Lahore
From Lahore you have two practical options. You can drive via the M-2 and M-15 motorways, or take a short flight to Islamabad and continue north the same day. We coordinate the connection so the rest of the itinerary stays smooth.
Hunza Tour from Karachi
Most travellers from Karachi fly into Islamabad (or occasionally Skardu). Our team meets you at the airport and provides private transport for the remaining journey to Hunza. Direct road travel from Karachi is not recommended due to the long distance.
For International Travellers
We regularly arrange Hunza tours for guests flying in from abroad and for overseas Pakistanis. Our international packages include airport reception at Islamabad (ISB), private air-conditioned vehicles, English-speaking local guides, hotel bookings, and help with travel documents. Payment can be made in USD or EUR.

How to Reach Hunza Valley
There are two main ways to get to Hunza Valley — by road or by air. Both work well, but the best option depends on the season and how much time you have.
By Road
The most common route is the Karakoram Highway via Besham and Chilas. This road stays open for most of the year and is the more reliable option, especially outside the summer months.
In summer (usually June to September), the Babusar Top route via Naran becomes available. It is more scenic but closes with the first heavy snowfall.
From Islamabad, the full road journey to Hunza Valley normally takes 12 to 14 hours, depending on stops and road conditions.
By Air
There is no airport in Hunza Valley itself. Flights land at Gilgit Airport. From there it is a private drive of about 2 to 2.5 hours to Karimabad.
The flight from Islamabad to Gilgit takes roughly 45 minutes and saves a full day of travel. This is the preferred option for shorter trips and for guests who want to avoid the long road journey.
Seasonal Notes
Summer: Both the Karakoram Highway and Babusar route are open. This is the busiest season and also the easiest time to travel to Hunza Valley.
Winter: Babusar Pass closes. The only reliable road access is via the Karakoram Highway through Besham and Chilas. Flights to Gilgit can also face more weather-related delays during this period.
Flight Delay Advice
Flights to Gilgit are weather-dependent. Cloudy conditions or poor visibility can cause delays or cancellations, especially in winter and early spring.
We always recommend keeping one buffer day in your schedule when you choose the by-air option. Our team also keeps a road backup ready so a delayed flight does not disrupt the whole trip.
Essential Info for International & Foreign Tourists
- Passport & Visa Copies: Always carry your original passport along with 6–8 printed copies of your valid Pakistan Tourist E-Visa. Security checkpoints along the Karakoram Highway (KKH) require these copies for quick registration.
- Khunjerab Pass Timing: For trips to the Pak-China Border (16,000+ ft), depart Karimabad by 7:30 AM to ensure early arrival before border gates close and to avoid afternoon high-altitude winds.
- Local Connectivity & Cash: Major network SIMs have limited coverage in remote valleys. We assist all international guests in obtaining a local SCOM SIM card and advise carrying sufficient PKR cash, as mountain ATMs can occasionally be offline.

Top Things to Do in Hunza Valley
1. Stand Among 7,000m+ Mountain Peaks
Few valleys anywhere put this many colossal peaks in one frame — Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar, Passu Sar, Diran, and Golden Peak all rise directly around Hunza, with Karimabad’s rooftops facing them head-on.
2. Watch the Sunset at Duikar (Eagle’s Nest)
Perched high above Karimabad at 2,850m, Eagle’s Nest offers an unbeatable panoramic view as Ladyfinger Peak, Rakaposhi, and Golden Peak catch the evening light during golden hour.
3. Boat & Jet-Ski on Attabad Lake
Formed by a 2010 landslide that dammed the Hunza River, Attabad’s vibrant turquoise waters are a staple on the Karakoram Highway, featuring boat rides, jet-skiing, and lakeside relaxation.
4. Tour UNESCO Heritage Baltit Fort & Altit Fort
Baltit Fort (700+ years old) overlooks Karimabad, while Altit Fort (800+ years old) sits near the river with terraced gardens. Both are UNESCO-awarded heritage sites open for guided tours.
5. Cross the Famous Hussaini Suspension Bridge
One of the world’s most famous wooden plank bridges, strung across the Hunza River near Passu — thrilling to cross and a favorite photo spot for travelers.
6. Drive to Khunjerab Pass (Pakistan-China Border)
At 4,693m, this is the highest paved international border crossing on Earth, connecting Pakistan to China within Khunjerab National Park, home to rare wildlife like Marco Polo sheep.
7. Climb the Ondra Poygah Stairs in Gulmit
Ascend a community-built stone staircase of over 1,600 steps to the historic Ondra Fort ruins for sweeping 360-degree views of the Passu Cones and Upper Hunza.
8. Taste Authentic Hunzai Cuisine & Local Cafes
Try fresh traditional delicacies like Chapshuro (Hunzai meat pie), Hoilo Garma (local spinach pasta with yak cheese), and fresh apricot pie at famous spots like Café De Hunza and Glacier Breeze.
9. Walk the Suspension Bridge at Passu & Explore Borith Lake
Beyond the Hussaini bridge, take a short drive to Borith Lake—a serene high-altitude saline lake ideal for bird watching and relaxing amidst snow-capped peaks.
10. Marvel at Golden Autumn Foliage & Spring Cherry Blossoms
Visit in April to witness vibrant pink and white cherry blossoms across the valley, or travel in October for stunning golden autumn foliage along the Hunza River.
11. Experience Hunza Cherry Blossom & Autumn Seasons
Visit between March and April to see the valley covered in pink cherry and apricot blossoms, or during October and November for vibrant golden autumn foliage.
12. Road Trip on the Legendary Karakoram Highway
The KKH stretch through Hunza — carving alongside the river with dramatic glaciers towering above — makes the journey by road an unforgettable experience on its own.
Languages
Burushaski, Wakhi and Shina are the main local languages; Urdu and English are widely understood in tourist areas.
Festivals
Ginani and Nauroz mark seasonal change, and the Cherry Blossom season in late March/April draws its own travelers.
Local Food
Chapshuro (a meat-filled bread), apricot-based dishes, Hunza bread and Harissa are worth trying at any local guesthouse.
Every valley in the north has a view. Hunza is the one where the view has a name for every peak, and a story for every stone.
Top Things We Do in Hunza Trip
Here is the list of things you can do on any Hunza Tour, as the valley has numerous mountains, old forts, lakes, and a culture that’s still very much alive.
See the main peaks: When exploring you will see some of the highest mountains in the world includes Rakaposhi (7,788m), Ultar Sar (7,388m), Passu Sar (7,478m), and Nanga Parbat (8,126m).
Attabad Lake boating: Enjoy rafting in Attabad Lake, which has turquoise water and mountains on all sides. You can take a wooden boat, motorboat, or speedboat from the main jetty. Boats run from April to October, and a normal ride takes 30–45 minutes.
Altit Fort and Baltit Fort: Baltit Fort is about 700 years old and gives one of the best views of Rakaposhi. Altit Fort is even older, over 1,000 years old, and sits on a cliff above the Hunza River. Both forts are in Karimabad, can be visited in a single day, and have a small entry fee with a guide available on site.
Jeep ride to Naltar Valley: Naltar Valley is about 40 km from Gilgit. The road is rough, so you need a 4×4 jeep to get there; regular cars can’t make the drive. Once you arrive, you’ll find Satrangi (Blue) Lake and pine forest. It’s easy to do as a Naltar Valley day trip from Gilgit or from Karimabad.
Khunjerab Pass: Khunjerab Pass sits at 4,733 meters and is the highest paved border crossing in the world, right on the Pakistan-China border. Most 5-day and longer Hunza packages include a day trip here.
Hussaini Suspension Bridge: The bridge has wooden planks, gaps between them, and moves as you walk. It’s one of the most photographed spots in Hunza, with the Passu Cones in the background.
Wildlife spotting: Khunjerab National Park is home to snow leopards, ibex, and Marco Polo sheep, though sightings are not guaranteed. Naltar Wildlife Sanctuary is a quieter option for bird watching. You can read our blog on how we do ibex hunting in Hunza.
Local shopping: Karimabad’s main bazaar and Aliabad Market are good places to buy handwoven textiles, local gemstones, dried apricots, apricot oil, and wool products made in the valley.
Drive the Karakoram Highway: The Karakoram Highway connects Hunza to the rest of Pakistan and China, and follows the old Silk Route used by traders for centuries. It’s one of the highest paved international roads in the world and is part of every Hunza by road package we do.
