Hunza Valley

Hunza Valley is located in the Gilgit Baltistan province of Pakistan. Hunza is one of the 14 districts of GB neighboring Ghizer, Shigar, and Nagar districts. Hunza is blessed with some sky-kissing heavenly mountains, beautiful lakes, rivers, glaciers, rich history, adventure spots, and amazing people. Hunza Valley shares international borders with China through Khunjerab Pass and Afghanistan through Irshad Pass in Lugpar Valley. The history of Hunza possibly dates back to the era of Alexander the Great, but there are no clear pieces of evidence. Some also relate Hunza to the Huns or Mangols.

Karakoram Highway (KKH)

Karakoram Highway (KKH) was built by the governments of Pakistan and China to enhance trade between the countries, and it represents exemplary relations between the two countries. Karakoram Highway is approximately 1300 km long in Pakistan. It crosses through Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit Baltistan regions in Pakistan and enters China at Khunjerab Pass, the Pak-China border. This highway is also known as National Highway 35 (or N-35) and becomes China National Highway G314 as it enters China. It is a part of the project of China Pakistan Economic Corridor CPEC. It is considered to be the 8th wonder of the world. KKH is a complete package for nature lovers. It offers glimpses of mountains, lakes, rivers, glaciers, cities, villages, agricultural life, and much more.

Altit Fort

Altit Fort was strategically built atop a massive rock in the old town of Altit Hunza Valley for the Rulers of Hunza (Mirs) Valley. This nearly 1100 years old fort is one of the oldest structures in Gilgit Baltistan. It also has a 200-meter-high watch tower that looked over Hunza Valley and the old Silk Route. The Mirs of Hunza resided in the fort for nearly three centuries. Later, they moved to the newly constructed Baltit Fort. The old Altit Town near the fort has been the residence of people from Central Asia, China, and the surrounding areas throughout the different eras, showcasing the historical significance of this place. It is believed that Alexander The Great came here with his soldiers back in time. This fort was granted to the Baltistan Heritage Trust by the Mirs of Hunza. The trust later restored it to its current state with the help of the Agha Khan Trust. Today, it is open to tourists. Guided tours are conducted at the fort everyday, which is included in the fort's entry ticket. These guided tours are vital in educating people about the history of the region. A small café at the foothills of Altit Fort serves traditional food and is run by local women of Hunza Valley, known as the Kha Basi Café. Learn more about it in: Must-Visit Cafes & Restaurants in Hunza.

Baltit Fort

Baltit Fort is an ancient fort in Karimabad Village Hunza Valley, approximately 700 to 800 years old. It is a three-story building structure that resembles the Tibetan construction style. The fort became the residence of Mirs Hunza after they vacated the Altit Fort. It was strategically built at a higher elevation than Altit to serve as a watchtower over the Silk Route to control trade and protect the kingdom from predators or attacks. Baltit Fort provides an extraordinary view of Hunza Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Mir of Hunza left this fort in 1945 and donated it to the Baltit Heritage Trust. A new residence was built downhill from Karimabad. Unfortunately, the fort began to fall into despair due to negligence. However, with the help of the Agha Khan Trust fund, the fort was restored to its original state. Today, Baltit is well preserved and open for tourists to visit. You can also do a guided trip to the fort. Baltit Fort is included in the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Attabad Lake

Attabad Lake is a 21 km long glacial lake formed in 2010 due to an earthquake in the area. The quake triggered a massive landslide from the nearby mountains. It was like an entire mountain fell on the villages, killing around 20 people and affecting thousands. This landslide blocked the flow of the Hunza River for over five months, which took the form of a dam submerging towns like Attabad, Shishkat, Ayeenabad, Gulkin, and Gulmit, forming the Attabad Lake. This newly formed lake blocked a massive chunk of Karakoram Highway, putting people's lives on halt in the upper parts of Hunza. People started using boats temporarily for mobility on the immersed part of KKH. But this momentary solution couldn't continue for longer. This part of the road was rebuilt, which created a wave of possibilities for the local people of Hunza, and Attabad Lake emerged as one of the most famous tourist destinations worldwide.There are several 3 to 5-star hotels, rest houses, and resorts around the lake providing state-of-the-art services to the visitors. If you yearn for some adventure, you can also camp by the lake for the night. There are a variety of touristy activities available at the, including boating, jet skiing, and ziplining, and a range of food stalls are open near the lake to munch in while exploring the lake.

Attabad Tunnels

With the formation of Attabad Lake and the destruction of a huge chunk of the Karakoram Highway, an essential trade route between Pakistan and China, a proper solution was needed to improve this situation. In July 2021, the Government of Pakistan, with the help of China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), initiated the project to renovate a 24 km patch of Karakoram Highway damaged by the earthquake in 2010, at a higher location. In September 2015, Attabad Tunnels were constructed as a renovation project. This project consisted of five tunnels with a distance of 7.12 km and two bridges.

Khunjerab Pass

Khunjerab Pass is a mountain pass situated along the Karakoram Highway, sketching the border between Pakistan and China in the Gilgit Baltistan province of Pakistan. It stands as the highest-paved international border crossing in the world, with an elevation of 4693 meters, making it the highest point on the Karakoram Highway. Khunjerab Pass is also home to the highest ATM in the world. After the construction of KKH, Khunjerab Pass provides a road connection between Cina's Xinjiang province and Gilgit Baltistan. It is used for trade, travel, and tourism purposes between the two nations. Sost Town in Upper Hunza serves as a dry port for all trading. Due to the high elevation of Khunjerab Pass, it receives a lot of snowfall, making it inaccessible during winter. Khunjerab Pass is located within the Khunjerab National Park and spans from Sost Town to the border with China. During the summer months, if fortunate enough, visitors can witness wildlife such as Yaks, Himalayan Markhor, and Ibex. Your tour to Hunza Valley will be incomplete without a visit to Khunjerab Pass.

Hussaini Suspension Bridge

Hussaini Suspension Bridge is built over the Hunza River, which forms by the confluence of the Khunjerab, Shimshal River, and Chipursan Rivers. If seen from a distance, it looks like a thin, long, rope-like structure hanging from one mountain to another with a backdrop of gigantic cathedrals of Passu Cones and the widespread Hunza River.
Hussaini Suspension Bridge is around 750 meters long and 43m in height above the ground. Hussaini Suspension Bridge is famous for the thrill it offers while crossing it. The wooden planks on the bridge are loosely spaced to minimize the risk of twisting or breaking by the strong winds of Hunza. These planks are also unevenly arranged, requiring you to focus on them as you cross, and you eventually get a glimpse of the fast-flowing Hunza River, which makes one feel dizzy and makes it more difficult to cross.

Eagle’s Nest Viewpoint Duiker

Duiker is the highest village in Hunza Valley which stands at 10,000 feet above sea level.

Visitors can find a few ruins of ancient forts in the valley, where the rulers of Nagar Valley used to reside. Hopper is also home to several glaciers like Barpu Glacier, Miar Glacier, Daranci Glacier, and Geentur (Supulter) Glacier.

Ondra Poygah Gulmit

Ondra Poygah is located in the Gulmit Village of Hunza Valley. There was once an old fort named Ondra located in Gulmit, but only the ruins remain to date. In the local language, Poygah means stairs. A while ago, the local people from Gulmit, including men and women of all ages, volunteered to build almost 1655 stairs using stones to reach the fort at the top. It is said to be the longest staircase in Pakistan. From Ondra Fort, one can view Attabad Lake, Gulmit Village, Gulmit Tower, Passu Cones, Shisper Peak, Ghulkin Village, and Ghulkin Glacier.

Borith Lake

Borith Lake is located approximately 2 km from Hussaini Village in Upper Hunza. It stands about 2600 meters above sea level. The road track for Borith Lake starts right from the edge of KKH and can be accessed in around 15 to 20 minutes using all types of vehicles. From Borith Lake, one can trek to Passu Glacier, Gulkin Glacier, Batura Glacier, and Hussaini Glacier. These are beginner to moderate level treks. Borith Lake attracts many ducks, geese, and swans that fly from different regions here, and when they visit, it is a site to be witnessed. There are a few local houses and hotels around the lake. Boating and kayaking are also available at the lake.

Old Ganish Village of Hunza Valley

Ganish translates to Gold in the Burushaski Language, and the village is said to be the oldest human settlement of Hunza Valley, around 1000 years old. This village has received two UNESCO World Heritage awards over the years. The people of Ganish have preserved this site while still living here, predominantly the way they used to in the old days.
The houses are tiny to cater to the harsh weather of the region. There are spaces dedicated to the livestock in the houses. This village is built with 2-3 watch towers and protective walls in order to protect from intruders who especially used to attack at night in the dark. There is a pool beside the tiny walkways. This pool serves as a water source and air conditioner for the village homes. The walkways are made with stone and mud and are narrow, designed in a way to make it difficult for the invaders.
Four old mosques in Ganish village date back around 400 years, and their main feature is the wooden carving on the front panels. These carvings include Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu patterns that show the background of the craftsmen during the Central Asian Silk Route trade era who settled here and embraced Islam.
You can have guided tours of the village by Mr. Shabir Ahmed, a humble and knowledgeable man of the village, who has been working there as a guide for years.

Passu Suspension Bridge

Although the Hussaini Suspension Bridge is considered to be the most dangerous bridge in the world, but Passu Suspension Bridge is no exception and even surpasses when it comes to the danger factor. The wooden planks are more unrefined, unevenly cut and placed on the steel ropes, as you can see in the picture swaying in the air over the Hunza River. You have to climb down the rocky, unmarked path to reach the starting point of the bridge. It is not very common among tourists for this very reason.
