Hunza Valley Tour Packages from Pakistan
Hunza sits high in Gilgit-Baltistan on the Karakoram Highway, ringed by peaks like Rakaposhi and Ladyfinger. A Travel.pk Hunza package runs on your own dates and pace — the KKH drive up or a flight to Gilgit, nights in Karimabad, and days at Attabad Lake, the Passu Cones and the old forts. Every trip is built around your group size and budget, so tell us your plan and we'll put together a quote.
Typical length: 5–8 days, customisable
Hunza Valley tour highlights
- Attabad Lake — a boat ride on the turquoise water in Gojal (Upper Hunza)
- The Passu Cones and Passu Glacier along the upper Karakoram Highway
- Baltit and Altit forts at Karimabad, restored by the Aga Khan Trust and open to walk through
- Sunrise on Rakaposhi and Ladyfinger from Karimabad or Duikar (Eagle's Nest)
- Khunjerab Pass — the roughly 4,700m Pakistan-China border, the world's highest paved crossing, open seasonally
- Cherry and apricot blossom across the valley in late March and April
Sample Hunza Valley itinerary
A typical flow — every Hunza Valley package is tailored to your dates, budget and group, so treat this as a starting point.
- Day 1
Islamabad onto the Karakoram Highway
Leave Islamabad and drive north along the KKH, following the Indus past Besham and toward Chilas, with an overnight en route. If you'd rather fly, an Islamabad-Gilgit flight skips this leg and puts you in Hunza the same afternoon.
- Day 2
Chilas to Karimabad
Continue up past the Nanga Parbat viewpoint at Raikot and through Gilgit into Hunza, reaching Karimabad by evening to settle in with Rakaposhi in view.
- Day 3
Karimabad, Baltit and Altit
Walk the Karimabad bazaar, tour Baltit and Altit forts, and head up to Duikar for the wide view over the valley and its peaks at sunset.
- Day 4
Attabad Lake and Gojal
Drive up to Attabad Lake for a boat ride, then continue through Gojal (Upper Hunza) to the Passu Cones, Passu Glacier and the Hussaini suspension bridge.
- Day 5
Khunjerab Pass
A full day up to Khunjerab Pass at the China border — open roughly May to November — through Khunjerab National Park and back down to Hunza for the night.
- Day 6
The road home
Start the return down the KKH toward Islamabad, about two days by road, or transfer to Gilgit for your flight back.

Best time to go
April to October. Late March and April bring the cherry and apricot blossom; May to October keeps the KKH and Khunjerab Pass open with warm, clear days; late September and October turn the poplars gold. Winters are cold and snow can close the higher roads.
Good to know
- Carry your CNIC (or passport if you're a foreign national) — checkpoints are routine along the KKH, and the border zone near Khunjerab may need extra permits.
- Pack layers: valley days are mild, but Attabad, Passu and Khunjerab stay cold and windy even in summer.
- Build in a buffer day or two — KKH landslides and weather can shift the schedule, especially around the passes.

Hunza Valley tour packages — FAQs
How much does a Hunza Valley tour package cost?+
There's no single fixed price. It depends on your travel dates, whether you drive up the KKH or fly Islamabad-Gilgit, the hotels you pick, your group size and how many days you take. Tell us your plan and Travel.pk will put together a custom quote.
When is the best time to visit Hunza?+
April to October works best. Go late March to April for the cherry and apricot blossom, summer for the greenest valley and an open Khunjerab Pass, or late September to October for golden autumn colour. Winter is cold and snow can close the higher roads.
What's included in the package?+
The standard build covers your travel up (flights or private KKH transport), hotels in Karimabad, daily breakfast with some dinners, a private vehicle and driver, a local guide, fort and Attabad boating tickets, and all transfers. We adjust every part of it to what you want.
Can Travel.pk arrange the flights and visa too?+
Yes. We book your Islamabad-Gilgit flights, or the full KKH road transport, as part of the package. Hunza is domestic, so Pakistani travellers need no visa; if you're joining from abroad we can help with your Pakistan visa as well.
