About Hunza Valley

Hunza Valley is a mountainous valley in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, often called 'Heaven on Earth'. Enclosed by some of the world's highest peaks including Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar and Ladyfinger Peak, the valley is famous for its spectacular autumn colours, ancient forts, and the legendary longevity of its people — the Hunzakuts.
