Discover a different side of the Hunza Valley—one wrapped in snow, silence, and stunning serenity. The 10-Day Hunza Valley Winter Wonderland Tour, brought to you by PASSAGE TO PAKISTAN, offers a magical escape into Northern Pakistan’s snow-covered landscapes, frozen lakes, and timeless mountain culture.
Winter in Hunza is something truly special. The crowds are gone. The air is crisp. And the towering Karakoram peaks stand even more majestic under a blanket of snow. This tour takes you deep into the heart of the region, where ancient forts, scenic villages, and frozen wonders await.
Your journey begins in Islamabad, followed by a drive along the iconic Karakoram Highway, where snow-draped valleys and white-washed mountain slopes welcome you into the north. Explore Gilgit, then head towards the hidden gem of Naltar Valley, famous for its magical alpine forests, frozen lakes, and vibrant ski slopes.
In Hunza, immerse yourself in winter stillness while exploring historical treasures like Altit and Baltit Forts, beautifully preserved and perched dramatically above the valley. Warm up with traditional food, walk through ancient stone alleys, and witness life in one of the world’s most peaceful winter destinations.
Marvel at the icy beauty of Attabad Lake, take a scenic walk on its frozen surface (when safe), and enjoy views of the Passu Cones against crystal-clear skies. Visit the remote villages of Gulmit and Hussaini, and enjoy slow mornings with panoramic views of snow-covered fields and peaks from your cozy lodge.
This tour is perfect for photographers, winter lovers, and cultural explorers who seek something rare and meaningful. With thoughtfully planned logistics, warm hospitality, and expert local guides, PASSAGE TO PAKISTAN ensures your journey is both adventurous and deeply comfortable.
