Hunza is a valley in Gilgit-Baltistan on the Karakoram Highway, framed by Rakaposhi, Ultar and Ladyfinger peaks, with Karimabad, Aliabad and Gulmit as its main towns. Visitors come for Baltit and Altit forts, the Eagle's Nest viewpoint, Attabad Lake and the autumn colours; stays are mostly guest houses and family-run hotels. The season runs from April to October, with blossom in spring and apricot and poplar colours in October; winter is cold and roads and flights are less reliable.
