Hunza Valley

Hunza Valley is located in Hunza District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. It is located along the Karakoram Highway and lies opposite Nagar Valley, separated by the Hunza River. The valley serves as a corridor for the Karakoram Highway and a gateway to numerous adventures deeper into the mountains.

Hunza Valley is one of Pakistan’s most famous tourist destinations, celebrated for its breathtaking mountain landscapes, historic forts, and warm, hospitable people. The valley comprises several important towns and villages, including Aliabad, Karimabad, Ganish, Baltit, Altit, Hassanabad, and Murtazaabad. Each of these areas has its unique charm, offering everything from ancient architecture to panoramic views of snowcapped peaks.

Travelers can enjoy stunning views of the valley and the historic Baltit Fort. The region is known for its clear night skies, free from city pollution, making it ideal for stargazing.

The bridge connecting Nagar and Hunza spans the Hunza River and marks the transition between two culturally rich and naturally stunning valleys. It is both a practical crossing and a picturesque location where travelers often pause to take in the surroundings.
