Celebrate the arrival of spring in one of the most enchanting places on Earth—Hunza Valley. This 10-day tour is a vibrant and soul-stirring journey through Northern Pakistan, brought to you by PASSAGE TO PAKISTAN, during the magical cherry blossom season, when the rugged Karakoram landscapes burst into shades of pink, white, and crimson.

Every year, from late March to mid-April, Hunza transforms into a fairytale. Snow-capped peaks like Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar, and Ladyfinger provide a majestic backdrop to blooming apricot, peach, and cherry trees that line the ancient villages of Karimabad, Gulmit, and Altit.

Your adventure begins in Islamabad, followed by a scenic drive along the world-famous Karakoram Highway, with stops at breathtaking viewpoints, mountain villages, and historical landmarks. In Hunza, stroll through centuries-old stone alleys, visit the beautifully restored Baltit and Altit Forts, and enjoy panoramic hikes above the valley.

Experience the stunning serenity of Attabad Lake, formed by a natural landslide, and take a peaceful boat ride through its surreal blue waters. Discover the dramatic landscapes of Passu, the iconic Passu Cones, and the suspended Hussaini Hanging Bridge—a true test of courage.

This tour is not just about nature—it’s a cultural immersion. Interact with the warm and hospitable people of Hunza, enjoy traditional Wakhi and Burusho cuisine, and learn about their unique language, music, and mountain lifestyles.
