Rakaposhi is
the crown jewel of the beauty of Nagar and Hunza valley.
It is present in Nagar valley and majestic views stun every
eye that falls upon Rakaposhi.Treks in these valleys, seldom
on trekkers’ itineraries, are readily accessible by road with mostly
easy trails and superb views. This treks tends to be the easiest and is a
hot favourite of new comers. Apart from the trek itself, splendid drive on
the Karakoram Highway gives you the best opportunity to explore Pakistan's
mighty mountains.
Karimabad is a delightful town perched high to offer stunning
views of the Hunza valley. We have a full day here for rest, acclimatization
and sightseeing. All the fields in Hunza are watered by an
extensive irrigation system and there some good walks along these water channels.
It will be the apricot season and everyone will be picking and drying the
new crop. The whitewashed Baltit Fort, once the home of the
ruling Mir, guards the valley and is now a museum. Even more
dramatic is Altit Fort, perched above a sheer drop to the
Hunza River
