Hunza Blossom Tours





Spring being the beginning of season usually from early April welcome

you to the Northern Areas. Hunza & Nagar in Bloosom present an

aesthetic panorama. The lush green tarraced fields surrouded by

blooming trees and the village itself guarded by snowbound sky kissing

mountains displaying scene enough to overwhelms visiters. Moreover,

besides the appealing vistas, the fragrance emanating in the villages

add charm to the visual beauty. This breathtaking tour in beautiful

spring in the north gives you the huge variety of natural splendors.

This panorama can be seen throughout in the North along the KKH and off

the road.
Start it from Gilgit, the capital of Northern Areas. When you arrive in

Gilgit you will feel that you are somewhere you need to be in Spring.

Bagrot valley in Gilgit is at around an hour drive famous for its

panoramic outlook in spring and summer. Kargah Buddah in the tiny

Kargah valley is about 20 min drive from the city. It is more famous

for the carved Buddha in a rock about 10 meters from the pathway.
Proceed further to Hunza. Karimabad is about 90 km from Hunza and

usually takes 3 hours but with repeated cessations on the viewpoints

could prolong the journey double as longer up to Hunza. You will stay

in Hunza even if you never liked to do that. Drive further to upper

Hunza for added beauty, hit the Khunjarab Pass (The highest border

linking China and Pakistan at an elevation of 4737m) and start the

journey back. You can spare a day to visit Nagar valley off the KKH

opposit Hunza valley. You can drive up to the Hoper Glacier flowing

down by the valley with picturesque mountains in the surroundings.
