In the morning you continue your Hunza spring tour towards Karimabad on the Karakoram Highway along the mighty Indus and Hunza River. The real attractions of Pakistan are in the north and to get there we need to travel along the world’s highest paved road, The Karakoram Highway.

Twenty-one of the world’s one hundred highest peaks are visible from the KKH and the journey is a great introduction to the mountains as civilization slips away behind us.

Wander the cobblestone streets, bargain for rubies and handicrafts, feast on Hunza cuisine, get to grips with the dark history of Baltit Fort, take a peek at the Silk Road from Altit Fort and watch the sun set over the river below.
After a morning of exploring Karimabad, you will drive for thirty minutes up a steep switch back road to reach The Eagles Nest – The best viewpoint of Hunza valley and an incredible place to watch the sunset.
