Hunza is the valley most people picture when they imagine northern Pakistan: terraced apricot orchards under Rakaposhi, the 700-year-old Baltit Fort above Karimabad bazaar, and the unreal turquoise of Attabad Lake. Tours run from Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi (with a connecting leg), following the Karakoram Highway through Besham and Chilas; the drive is long — most operators schedule it overnight — and the first view of Rakaposhi from the highway viewpoint is the traditional welcome. A standard five-day group tour covers Karimabad and its forts, Eagle's Nest at Duikar for sunset, Attabad Lake, the Hussaini suspension bridge, and the Passu Cones. Seven-day itineraries push on to Khunjerab Pass at the Chinese border — at 4,693 metres, carry warm layers even in July — or add Naltar valley's lakes by jeep. Spring (April) brings cherry and apricot blossom; October turns the whole valley amber and is quietly the photographers' favourite. Hunza is the most comfortable of the northern circuits: hotels are better than elsewhere, the local culture is famously welcoming, and the bazaar economy is used to travelers. That also makes June–August departures fill early — if your dates are fixed, book two to four weeks ahead and compare what each operator actually includes, since Khunjerab is often an optional extra.
