The Passu Cones rising above the Hunza River on the Karakoram Highway

Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan — where the Karakoram, Himalaya & Hindu Kush meet

Some places you visit.
This one you remember.

Private journeys through Hunza, Skardu, Fairy Meadows and the high Karakoram — designed by the people who call these valleys home.

A word from the valley

Five of the world’s fourteen highest mountains. A thousand-year-old fort above an apricot bazaar. A lake the colour of another planet. And a tradition of hospitality older than any of it — this is the north we grew up in, and the north we’d like to show you.

— Your hosts at Hunza & Beyond, Karimabad
