Three nights in Hunza, over Babusar Top and back in six days
The shortest way to see Hunza properly. We break the drive in Naran, cross Babusar Top in the morning light and reach Karimabad by evening, with three nights there to settle in.
In Hunza you see the forts at Baltit and Altit, take a boat on Attabad Lake and drive up to the Passu Cones, then come home the same way.
Who this trip is for
- Families and couples with a week off who want Hunza without rushing
- Travellers who want summer weather; the pass is open June to September
- Anyone who prefers one base for most of the trip
Who it may not suit
- Travellers who want Skardu too (see the Hunza & Skardu Grand)
- Anyone who dislikes long road days: days 2 and 5 are over 10 hours
- Dates outside summer, when Babusar Top is closed

Questions people ask before booking
Is Babusar Top open on our dates?
The pass usually opens in June and closes by late September, which is why this trip runs only in summer. If snow closes it early, we take the longer Karakoram Highway route through Besham and tell you the new timings on WhatsApp.
Will the altitude affect me?
Karimabad is about 2,400 m and Babusar Top over 4,000 m, where we stop only for photos and tea. Most travellers feel fine; drink water and take it slowly.
What are the roads like? What if the weather delays us?
The Karakoram Highway is paved but mountainous, and landslides can close sections, especially in spring. Your driver adjusts the plan and we keep you updated on WhatsApp. If a closure adds a night, we arrange the hotel and agree the cost with you before you decide.
How do payment and the advance work?
Pay a 30% advance to confirm your seats, by cash or bank transfer. The balance is due 7 days before departure. You get a receipt on WhatsApp for every payment.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Cancel 14 or more days before departure for a full refund of your advance. Between 7 and 13 days, 50% is refunded. Within 7 days the advance is non-refundable. If we cancel a departure, you get a full refund or a free move to another date.
Can we travel with children?
Yes. Children aged 5 and over count as travellers; younger children share their parents’ room free. Tell us their ages when you book and we’ll plan the stops around them.
