Baltit Fort

Unforgettable! Baltit Fort was the highlight of our visit to Hunza this summer. Our guide, Qasim, was extremely knowledgeable about the Fort's rich history and his tour was full of anecdotes about the royals including the Princess Shah Khatoon of Baltistan. Immaculately clean, preserved and maintained, it was a true delight to experience its rich history. These included artefacts on loan from the British Library, stained-glass windows, armour and portraits of the royal lineage. Worth a special mention is the path leading up to the Fort from Baltit village. Rich cultural heritage, arts and crafts, local food and fresh juices were amazing together with the incredible hospitality, literacy and cleanliness of the local people. As in Japan, the local children help to clean up the area as part of their civic duty. A lesson and shining example of civic and community sense for all in Pakistan 😑

The fort was really nice to visit learning about the history of the place. I was impressed with the location and how it was changed when the British took over. I got told the other fort is nearby is similar too. So you just need to pick one to go to

A truly unforgettable visit, seamlessly blending natural beauty with profound cultural heritage. Baltit Fort is a breathtaking testament to Hunza's rich history. An absolute must-see.

Perched majestically above Karimabad in Hunza Valley, Baltit Fort is a 700-year-old masterpiece blending Tibetan and Central Asian architecture. Expertly restored by the Aga Khan Trust, it now serves as a fascinating museum. Intricate wood carvings, historic artifacts, and knowledgeable guides bring the Mirs' legacy to life.

Good Place for view but very rude guide. Whenever we asked questions he did not answered properly and abandoned us in the middle of the tour. Very unprofessional behaviour. Whenever you are visiting this place make sure the tour guide is not Aslam Baig.

Beautiful fort with rich history of the past. Amazing views of the surrounding areas.
