Shangri-La Hunza Tour

About This Trip

Hunza Valley is a picturesque and culturally rich region located in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. It’s known for its stunning landscapes, ancient traditions, warm hospitality, and breathtaking mountain views. The Hunza Valley is a mountainous valley in Northern Pakistan that connects Pakistan to China via the Khunjerab Pass. The snow-capped mountain tops of Himalaya, Karakoram and HinduKush are in constant sight when travelling along the route that was once part of the ancient silk road connecting China to Europe. The Hunza Valley is often referred to as Shangri-La (earthly paradise), and the valley is believed to be the inspiration behind the mythical valley of Shangri-La in the novel Lost Horizon by James Hilton. Between 1959 and 1979, the Karakoram Highway was built. One of the highest paved international roads in the world and also known as the 8th wonder of the world. The construction of this impressive highway, which is 1,300 km long and is elevated at 4,693 m, came at a dear price – it is said that one person died for each kilometer of the road. This region is beautiful and fascinating due to the ethnic diversity that this area is famous for and the natural scenery. Meet-and-greet by Adventure Pakistan guide upon arrival at Islamabad International Airport. Transfer to the hotel/guesthouse in central Islamabad. After a few hours of rest, we go on a guided city tour. Overnight in Islamabad.
