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.

Usually outside the sample scope
Ask the quote to confirm each exclusion and any optional price.
- Lunches and any meals not listed above
- Personal expenses — tips, laundry, drinks and shopping
- Travel insurance
- Extra costs from roadblocks, weather or landslides beyond the set itinerary
These lists describe the sample package. Your dated, itemised proposal is the controlling record: check the named hotels, room types, transport, ticket rules, taxes and cancellation terms before paying.
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.
