About Hunza Valley

Hunza is our home valley. Karimabad, the main town, sits beneath Ultar Sar with the restored Baltit and Altit forts above the old villages. Further up the Karakoram Highway lie Attabad Lake, Gulmit and Passu.

Hunza is the starting point of our Ultar Sar expedition and the perfect place to rest after time in the high mountains.
