The valley is located in the extreme north of Gilgit-Baltistan province and is well known for its strong historical background. It is almost a <strong>2-hour drive from Gilgit<\/strong>, the central city.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While travelling to Hunza, the Karakorum mountains are around, a must-see view for travellers. Above all, no matter where you stay, you will always have an idea of the gigantic Rakaposhi. <strong>Hunza Valley<\/strong> still connects with its ancestors and resorts to their monuments for tourists.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>Naltar<\/strong> is one of the famous and notable <strong>valleys in Hunza<\/strong> because of its colourful lakes, which can be accessed by jeep on paved and curvy roads. The lake&#8217;s water is crystal clear, and lush green plants can be seen underwater. Above all, the weather is pleasant in summer and worse in winter because of the snow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, <strong>Karimabad<\/strong>, the capital of Hunza, has many villages with ancient-looking houses and stone-paved streets. It is more famous for its history and the residence of the former royal family.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A<\/strong><strong>ltit and Baltit Forts<\/strong> were the residences of the former prince around 700 years ago; they are now museums. Both forts are masterpieces of architecture and craft. The magnificent design was renovated by the Agha Khan Culture Trust, preserving heritage for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another <strong>beautiful valley in Hunza<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0<strong>Nagar.<\/strong> The mesmerizing colours of Nagar Valley will never be found; nothing is more beautiful than simplicity. The snowcapped mountains of Rakaposhi are the ultimate enchantress of the garden.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Above all, Attabad Lake is one of the valley&#8217;s biggest charmers. Its crystal turquoise water bewitches tourists with its mesmerizing beauty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, <strong>Sost<\/strong> is the last village of Hunza on the Karakorum Highway, next to the Chinese border. This town is an important place on the highway for passenger and cargo transport because all traffic crossing the Pakistan-China border passes through it. Along with Khunjerab Pass, Sost<strong>\u00a0i<\/strong>s a high mountain pass in the Karakorum mountain range.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Khunjerab Pass<\/strong> also has a national park inhabited by a rare species of snow leopard. It is a magnificent symbol of Pakistan and<strong>\u00a0China\u2019s friendship<\/strong>. The milky starry night around the <strong>Lady Finger Peak, Golden, and Hunza peaks<\/strong> is tremendous.

Skardu is located at an altitude of 2500 feet above sea level under the influence of the Indus and Shigar Rivers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The weather is different there. It is mildly cold in summer, with rainfall during the tourist season from April to October, and deadly cold in winter due to heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skardu is<\/strong> becoming a significant and popular tourist destination and expedition <strong>hub in Gilgit-Baltistan<\/strong>. Numerous locations are full of serenity and tranquility and are a trekker\u2019s paradise because they provide the path to the highest mountains, including<strong> K2, K3, and Gasherbrum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>Skardu<\/strong> showcases wonders in the valley, and a narrow road with a jeep to another place adds more twists to the thrilling trip. Leaving Skardu for Khaplu Valley on a jeep ride, you will witness a curvy road with several trees shading the travellers, providing a sightseeing view.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Khaplu<\/strong> is an ancient state considered the hub of the <strong>Yabgo Dynasty. It possesses a fort that now serves as a museum. Khaplu<\/strong>\u00a0lies at the base of the Karakorum mountain range, and the panoramic view of Khaplu cannot be described in words.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Skardu has various lakes, notably<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travelpakistani.com\/operator\/pakistan-tour-and-travel\/TP0184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Kachura Lake<\/a>,<\/strong> which is considered one of the top 10 lakes in Pakistan because of its dazzling beauty. The duo of lakes is termed Shangri-La Lake by tourists, as it covers the resort and is surrounded by dense forest. It is located in the western Himalayas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the breathtaking views of Skardu, the discussion is incomplete without conversing about <strong>Deosai and Shigar Plains<\/strong>. Without any doubt, miracles on earth, Shigar is a cold desert with hanging clouds above it. Tourists embrace the creation of the Creator over there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The infinite highway with its magnificent piece of nature will never let you go anywhere; here, you will find serenity and tranquillity at a level. Moreover, the Shigar Fort is also a masterpiece of architecture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Built with stones, it is still there as a symbol of history and serves as a monument. On the other hand, Deosai Plain, commonly known as the land of giants, was inaccessible due to the number of wildlife there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So for wildlife preservation, the government took the initiative in the form of <strong>Deosai National Park<\/strong> to generate brown bears and other wildlife. Deosai plains have ear-shattering silence so that one can listen to one&#8217;s heartbeat, and there you will find<strong>\u00a0Sheosar Lake<\/strong> alongside the tables.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Imagining the beauty of the cold, vast plains next to the grey-coloured lake and then the gigantic snow-capped mountain fills the heart with happiness. The dawn and dusk scenes will never be found anywhere.
