Orchards, old forts and Rakaposhi
Hunza Valley
Apricot terraces below Rakaposhi and Ultar Sar, and two old forts to walk around.
Karimabad is the cultural heart of Hunza: a bazaar town below the 700-year-old Baltit Fort, with homestays, cafés and some of the most generous mountain views in Pakistan. Allow at least three nights to see the forts, walk the terraces and watch the light change on Rakaposhi.
