Our 5-day Hunza tour runs from Lahore and Islamabad and covers Karimabad, Altit and Baltit forts, Attabad Lake, Passu Cones, Hussaini Bridge and Khunjerab Pass on the Pak-China border. You travel in a new-model, air-conditioned vehicle, stay in clean hotels with hot water, and your tour operator travels with the group from the first day to the last.
We have been organising northern Pakistan tours from Lahore since 2020. On every Hunza trip your tour operator travels with the group, so there is always someone with you who knows the route, the hotels and what to do when plans change.
Your tour operator travels with every group and sorts out hotels, timings and changes on the spot.
New-model, air-conditioned vehicles chosen to fit your group size, with drivers experienced on mountain roads.
3 to 4 people per room on group trips. Private rooms on request at extra cost.
Departs from Lahore, with Islamabad travellers joining on the way north.
We leave Lahore and pick up the Islamabad group on the way. The drive continues north on the motorway and the Karakoram Highway, with stops for breakfast and tea. Night stay at a hotel on the route.
The road follows the Indus River past the Nanga Parbat viewpoint and the point near Jaglot where the Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges meet. We stop at the Rakaposhi viewpoint before reaching Karimabad in the evening. Check in, dinner and a walk through Karimabad bazaar.
A full day on the upper Karakoram Highway. We stop at Attabad Lake (boating is optional), cross the tunnels to Hussaini Bridge, see Passu Cones, and drive up to Khunjerab Pass on the Pak-China border, one of the highest paved border crossings in the world. Back to Karimabad for the night.
An early start for the view from Eagle's Nest over the Hunza and Nagar valleys, then visits to Baltit Fort and Altit Fort, the two old forts above Karimabad. After lunch we begin the drive back south and stay the night on the route.
We drive back down the Karakoram Highway and the motorway. Islamabad travellers are dropped off first, and the group reaches Lahore late at night.
Road and weather conditions in the north can change. If a road is closed or the weather turns, your tour operator adjusts the plan on the spot so the group stays safe.
