The Hunza Valley is probably the region we liked the most in the country. They have its own rhythm, culture, and tradition, making every visitor fall in love with its extremely relaxing and hospitable atmosphere. For this reason, we prepared for you this Hunza Valley travel guide based on our experience in the region as well as on what we have heard and researched too.
WHERE IS HUNZA VALLEY?
Have you been asking yourself where is Hunza Valley? Well, the Hunza Valley is in northern Pakistan, a mesmerising region quite different from the rest of the country. Just to be clear in the rather often question is Hunza Valley in the POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir)? No. Neither it’s in India.

Hunza is in the autonomous region of Gilgit-Baltistan. Some people say Gilgit-Baltistan is no longer autonomous and therefore is part of another region of the country, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). But, we will not get into politics here.
The Hunza Valley weather changes drastically during these colder months and you do recommend you to avoid it
RELIGION IN HUNZA VALLEY
Unlike the rest of the country, the Hunza Valley people follow a different branch of Islam, the Ismaili. This branch is considered less conservative, therefore it’s more usual to see women not wearing the scarf on their heads, walking accompanied by other women only, driving or working. Unfortunately, in most regions of Pakistan, it’s rare to see women working or even just walking in the streets not accompanied by men.
HUNZA VALLEY TRAVEL TOUR
With so many qualities, it is no surprise that this region is quite popular even amongst people from Pakistan, who usually visit Hunza during their bank holidays. The few international tourists who make it to there also do not allow themselves enough time to get to know the main sights of the Hunza Valley. Not having enough time around this region makes you miss out on the most essential part of this trip, the interaction with locals.

“How many days to stay in the Hunza Valley?” you might be asking right now. Our main recommendation, then, is to save at least five days in Hunza. This way, you can enjoy the main tourist sights as well as the less known ones, plus wander through the villages, talk to the nice inhabitants who are always ready to offer you a cup of tea, and watch a casual volleyball match in the main square of one of the villages and get into the pace of one of the most pleasant regions of Pakistan.
WHAT TO DO IN THE HUNZA VALLEY
– Visit The Attabad Lake
This turquoise blue lake is one of the main attractions of Hunza Valley, and surely one of the most beautiful places in Pakistan. However, what is most impressive is that this lake did not exist 10 years ago. It is a result of a landslide, which happened in 2010 and flooded the whole region.

As a consequence of the natural disaster, thousands of people were made homeless and another thousand was completely disconnected to the rest of the country, as the flood affected the only way of access to Hunza.
Climb Up To The Eagle’s Nest Hunza
The Eagles’s Nest Hunza is a viewpoint that offers spectacular views of the Hunza Valley. It’s not to be mistaken with the hotel of the same name. The Eagle’s Nest Hunza view point is atop the Duiker Hill. You can drive to the car park near the hotel – it’s easy to park the car over there – and do a no more than 10 min easy climb to the top of the mountain.

It is worth climbing up to the Eagle’s Nest at any time as the reflection of the sun rays in the mountains change your view of the landscape according to the time of the day. However, if your time is short on time and have to choose a specific slot to go over there, we recommend climbing up the viewpoint for the sunset.

– Visit Khunjerav Pass, The Highest Border In The World
At 4600m high, the border between Pakistan and China, known as Khunjerav Pass, is one of the highest in the world. The road to the place is as pretty as a picture, though you had better prepare for the cold, due to the high altitude.
An interesting point on the border between both countries is the self-proclaimed “the world’s highest ATM”, which wasn’t working when we were there.

– Cross The Most Dangerous Bridge In The World
Hunza also houses one of the world’s most dangerous bridge, the Hussaini Bridge.
