Hunza — Northern Pakistan, a Mystic Trails luxury journey
Destination · Gilgit-Baltistan

Hunza

Orchards, forts, and the bluest water in the Karakoram.

Overview

A storied valley, watched over by giants.

Hunza unfolds along the Karakoram Highway as a valley of terraced orchards and ancient stone forts, beneath Rakaposhi (7,788 m) and the spire of Lady Finger. In spring it blushes with apricot and cherry blossom; in autumn it turns to gold and copper. It is gentle, storied, and quietly grand — the perfect threshold into the north.
