Introduction
Hunza Valley is the most beautiful valley in the
Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan.
The valley is situated to the north of Hunza
River, at an elevation of around 2,500 metres
(8,200 ft). The territory of Hunza is about
7,900 square kilometres (3,100 sq miles).
Karimabad (formerly called Baltit) is the main
town, which is also a very popular tourist
attraction and resort because of the spectacular
scenery of the surrounding mountains like Ultar
Sar, Rakaposhi, Bojahagur Duanasir II, Ghenta
Peak, Hunza Peak, Diran Peak and Bublimating
(Ladyfinger Peak), all 6,000 metres (19,685 ft)
