Touristan invites you on a trip to Hunza Valley & to experience Cherry Blossom. For all the intrepid explorers and those interested in sight-seeing, this promises to be a once in a lifetime experience. It starts with the culturally rich and colorful Karimabad Bazar. The beauty of the Khunjerab Pass is guaranteed to leave you awestruck, as it is the highest paved international border after we leave Sost the last town on KKH. We will also visit the Altit Fort which is built on a sheer rock cliff that falls 300 meters (1000 feet) into the Hunza River and the view of mighty Attabad Lake a reminder that there can be beauty in tragedy.
Details Of Area Hunza: The much renowned Hunza valley is often referred to as heaven on earth, enveloped in the grand Himalayas and the Karakoram mountain ranges, this place has been a great tourist attraction for many years. Hunza is probably Pakistan's most visited valley, by the tourists. It is a fairy tale land surrounded by beautiful rugged & snow capped mountains. Only at a distance of 100 Kms from Gilgit Hunza is a small town on Karakorum Highway. At the altitude of 7000 - 800 feet it is the first main town or stops if you are entering Pakistan from China. The central Hunza known as Karimabad is basically a town of just 6 villages. The first main village as you come from Gilgit on the main Karakorum Highway is Aliabad. There are spectacular views of Rakaposhi Mountain (7788 meters), Just above Aliabad on the hill are Altit and Baltit villages the heart of Hunza. There is a very interesting Bazaar and two Forts in Altit & Baltit Villages. The Baltit fort has recently been restored and converted into a guided museum. Hunza is undoubtedly the most Photogenic point in the world.
Passu: is a small village on the Karakoram Highway, beside the Hunza River, some 15 kilometers from Gulmit, the Tehsil headquarters of Gojal in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, and about 150 km upriver from Gilgit. It lies very near the tongue of the Passu Glacier, and just south of the tongue of the Batura Glacier. The latter is the fifth longest non-polar glacier in the world at 56 km, and reaches very near to the highway. The people are Wakhi and speak the Wakhi Language. Religiously they are Ismaili, a sect of Shia Islam. Tupopdan, 6,106 meters (20,033 ft), also known as "Passu Cones" or "Passu Cathedral", lies to the north of the village; it is the most photographed peak of the region. Also nearby are the high peaks of Passu Sar, Shispare Sar, and Batura.
Khunjrab Pass (Pak-China Border): The Karakoram Highway (KKH) is the highest paved international road in the world. It connects Tibet of China and Pakistan across the Karakoram mountain range, through the Khunjerab Pass, at an elevation of 4,693 meters (15,397 ft). Connecting China's Xinjiangregion with Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan, the road is a popular tourist attraction. Due to its high elevation and the difficult conditions in which it was constructed, it is referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World
