Lahore to Hunza is one of the most rewarding road trips in Pakistan. The drive covers roughly 730 kilometers and takes two days not because the distance demands it, but because Naran sits exactly halfway and deserves an overnight stop on its own.
We pick you up directly from your home in DHA, Gulberg, Model Town, or Johar Town at 7:00 AM. By late afternoon you are in Naran, where the Kunhar River runs alongside the main bazaar and the air already smells different from Lahore. The next morning you cross Babusar Pass at 4,173 meters one of the genuinely dramatic mountain crossings in Pakistan and reach Karimabad, Hunza the same day.
Four full days in Hunza follow. Altit Fort, Baltit Fort, Eagle’s Nest, Attabad Lake, Khunjerab Pass, Hopar Valley the standard Hunza circuit done properly, without rushing. Then two days back to Lahore, arriving at your doorstep on Day 7.
Starting from PKR 110,000 per head. Private Toyota GLI, 6 nights hotel, daily breakfast, and Lahore door to door pickup included.
