Travel Story

Hunza Valley in autumn is nothing short of a fairy tale. As October arrives, the valley sheds its green cloak and dons a vibrant attire of gold, orange, and red. The Poplar trees lining the roads and the apricot orchards in the villages turn into a painter’s masterpiece.

Weather: The air is crisp, with days remaining sunny and pleasant, while nights get chilly—perfect for bonfires and local herbal tea.

Best Spots:

1. Altitt and Baltit Forts: The royal history combined with the autumn backdrop creates perfect photo opportunities.

2. Passu Cones: The contrast of the jagged grey peaks against the golden foliage is surreal.

3. Eagle's Nest: Witness the sunset painting the golden valley in even warmer hues.

If you love photography or simply want to experience tranquility, skip the summer crowds and visit Hunza in Autumn.
