Hunza Walking Tour
Hunza, Pakistan
Why Walk Hunza
The Hunza Valley sits at the intersection of the Karakoram, Hindu Kush, and Pamir mountain ranges in Gilgit-Baltistan, along the historic Karakoram Highway. The valley is framed by peaks exceeding 7,000 meters, including views of Rakaposhi (7,788m) and Ultar Sar. The local Burusho people have a distinct language and culture, and the terraced orchards produce renowned apricots, cherries, and walnuts.

April through June and September through November. Spring brings cherry and apricot blossoms. October turns the poplars golden. The Karakoram Highway may close in winter due to snow.
