If you only have a few days in Gilgit-Baltistan, spend them in Hunza.
What to see
- Baltit & Altit Forts — centuries-old strongholds in Karimabad with sweeping valley views.
- Attabad Lake — a startling turquoise lake formed in 2010, now ringed by cafés and boat rides.
- Eagle's Nest — the sunrise viewpoint over Rakaposhi (7,788 m) and Lady Finger.
- Passu Cones — the cathedral-like peaks that line the Karakoram Highway.
Local flavour
Hunza is famous for its apricots, mulberries and walnuts, its longevity, and its warm Wakhi and Burushaski-speaking hosts. Don't leave without trying apricot-kernel oil and harissa.
How to do it
A classic 2-day Hunza jeep safari covers the forts, Attabad and the Hopper glacier viewpoints comfortably. Pair it with a stay in Karimabad for golden-hour photography.
