Overview
Our gentlest trip, run from our home in Karimabad. Day walks link Hunza's villages, orchards and water channels with its 700-year-old forts, ending each day in a hotel. You get big Karakoram views — Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar and the Passu Cones — without high-altitude camping. It suits most fitness levels and runs in every season.
