Hunza Royal
Six days in the valley that taught the world the word 'longevity'.
Hunza Royal is a six-day private journey through Karimabad, Attabad and the Khunjerab Pass: five nights split between Serena Hunza's terraces and a water-facing suite at Luxus Attabad, a private convoy on the Karakoram Highway, and dinners arranged where tour groups never sit — Eagle's Nest at first light, Altit's royal garden after close.
- Five nights: Serena Hunza (Karimabad) + Luxus Attabad water suite
- Private sunrise access at Eagle's Nest viewpoint, 2,850 m
- Khunjerab Pass day — the world's highest paved border crossing, 4,693 m
- Boat crossing of Attabad Lake with the story of 2010 told by a survivor
- Baltit and Altit forts with the curator, not the queue
6 days, composed.

Baltit Fort with its curator before public hours, lunch in Altit's royal garden, apricot orchard walk through Ganish, the oldest settlement on the old Silk Road.

Pre-dawn drive to Duikar. Sunrise touches Rakaposhi, Diran, Golden Peak and Ultar in sequence — you'll have the terrace privately for one hour.

Up past Passu's cathedral cones and Sost to the Chinese border — snow leopards' country. Oxygen and a doctor-checked itinerary pace the altitude.

Questions, answered
How do we reach Hunza to start the tour?
Most guests fly Islamabad–Gilgit (50 minutes) where your convoy waits; the full road journey up the Karakoram Highway can be arranged as a two-day extension with a night in Besham or Naran.
Is Khunjerab Pass safe at 4,693 m?
The pass is a paved drive, not a trek. We carry oxygen, pace the ascent with stops at Passu and Sost, and our vehicles are equipped for the altitude. Guests with cardiac conditions should consult a doctor first.
When is the best time for this tour?
April brings blossom, June–August full green and open passes, October the famous autumn golds. Khunjerab is reliably open May–November; winter versions run down-valley with Attabad frozen scenery.
