Show your family the Hunza you grew up hearing about, planned on WhatsApp before you land and timed around limited leave.
Hunza is ideal for overseas Pakistani families visiting in June to September, when school holidays line up with warm weather, open roads and the Khunjerab Pass. Plan seven to eight days, fly to Gilgit and drive back down the Karakoram Highway so your return is protected, and arrange everything on WhatsApp before you land in Pakistan.

Many of our Hunza guests are families visiting from the UK, USA, Canada, the Gulf and Europe. Often it’s the children’s first trip north, and sometimes the grandparents finally get to see Attabad Lake and Baltit Fort too.
Your leave is short and your international flight is fixed. That’s why we plan around buffer days, easy pacing and hotels that suit three generations.
We never put the Gilgit flight or the KKH drive back close to your international flight.
Easy pace, ground-floor rooms, Khunjerab only if everyone is up to it.
Hotels serve familiar Pakistani dishes too.
Written quotes in advance, no surprises.
Everything arranged on WhatsApp before you land.
Send your arrival date and family size. We’ll plan Hunza around your visit.
