Introduction

Hunza Valley

Hunza Valley is the most beautiful valley in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan. The

valley is situated to the north of Hunza River, at an elevation of around 2,500 metres (8,200 ft). The

territory of Hunza is about 7,900 square kilometres (3,100 sq miles). Karimabad (formerly called Baltit)

is the main town, which is also a very popular tourist attraction and resort because of the

spectacular scenery of the surrounding mountains like Ultar Sar, Rakaposhi, Bojahagur Duanasir II,

Ghenta Peak, Hunza Peak, Diran Peak and Bublimating (Ladyfinger Peak), all 6,000 metres

(19,685 ft) or higher.
