🛣️ The Route: Rawalpindi to Hunza via Bisham
Your expedition begins in Rawalpindi, with early departure heading north toward the magnificent Karakoram Highway (KKH). As you ascend, stopovers at Mansehra, Bisham, and Dassu provide refreshing glimpses of waterfalls, pine-covered ridges, and the swirling Indus River. By evening, you’ll reach Chilas, a resting point before entering the true highlands.
The next morning, marvel at the Junction Point of the world’s three greatest mountain ranges: Himalayas, Karakoram, and Hindukush. Continue onward past the Rakaposhi Viewpoint and into the ancient realm of Hunza Valley.
🏞️ Hunza Valley: Jewel of the North
Nestled beneath snow-capped peaks, Hunza is a cultural gem wrapped in natural wonder. Begin in Karimabad, where the centuries-old Baltit Fort and Altit Fort sit proudly on the cliffs. Wander the stone paths of Altit village, and gaze out from Eagle’s Nest at the glowing sunset across Ultar Sar and Ladyfinger Peak.
A scenic drive takes you through the dramatic Attabad Tunnels to reach the pristine blue waters of Attabad Lake, perfect for a boat ride or lakeside reflection. Continue to the Passu Cones and the Hussaini Suspension Bridge, one of the most thrilling crossings in the world.
❄️ Glacier & Valley Expeditions
Explore Hopper Valley, home to the Hopper Glacier, where nature and adventure converge. This surreal landscape offers light treks across frozen rivers and moraines. Visit Royal Gardens, and if time allows, the gateway town of Sost before venturing to the high-altitude Khunjerab Pass.
🏔️ Khunjerab Pass: Roof of the Borderlands
Situated at an altitude of 4,693 meters (15,397 feet), Khunjerab Pass is the world’s highest paved international border crossing. Connecting Pakistan with China, this mountain pass offers a stunning mix of geological drama and geopolitical history. Surrounded by snow-covered ridges and rolling plains, the area often hosts sightings of yaks, marmots, and even ibex.
At the pass, travelers can visit the Pak-China Friendship Gate, enjoy panoramic photography, and experience thin, crisp mountain air that defines the essence of high-altitude travel. It’s not just a border—it’s a place where the cultures and landscapes of two great nations meet in harmony.

On your return, you may opt to explore Naltar Valley, one of Gilgit’s most colorful destinations. Accessible by 4×4, this alpine haven offers views of Blue Lake, Pari Lake, and the rainbow-hued Satrangi Lake, surrounded by pine forests and lush meadows.
