Baltit Fort above Karimabad in the Hunza Valley

The Himalayan Kingdom

Hike to fairytale meadows and explore the Hunza and Nagar valleys.

Overview

Meadows, forts and the heart of Hunza

A relaxed circuit of the Hunza and Nagar valleys with day hikes to Fairy Meadows and the viewpoints above Karimabad — Eagle's Nest at sunrise, Hopper Glacier and the ancient watchtowers of Altit.

Spring brings apricot blossom; autumn sets the valleys ablaze in gold. Either way, this is the classic introduction to the mountain kingdoms of the Karakoram.

  • Sunrise at Eagle's Nest over the Hunza Valley
  • Fairy Meadows and the Raikot face of Nanga Parbat
