If you live in a warmer region, heading over to the northern areas to escape the heat must be on your list for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the residents of Islamabad and Lahore, taking a short weekend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/best-places-visit-murree.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trip to Murree<\/a> and the hill stations beyond has always been the most popular option, mainly because of the proximity. But for those living in faraway areas, planning a trip to these famous destinations takes a lot of effort and deliberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you really want to discover Pakistan and explore the natural beauty it has been blessed with, you should set your sights a little farther. This year, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/gilgit-baltistan-popular-tourist-attraction-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travelling to Gilgit Baltistan<\/a>, a veritable piece of heaven on earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road trip to this area might take a little longer than you are probably used to. But you definitely won\u2019t mind the distance once you enter these beautiful valleys filled with lush green meadows and tall snow-covered mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Hunza and Gilgit are two of the most popular tourist destinations in Pakistan. However, you can\u2019t plan a trip to these valleys without including Khunjerab Pass in your itinerary. The road condition from Islamabad to Hunza<strong> <\/strong>is also pretty good. Therefore, you don\u2019t have to worry about your journey being very uncomfortable.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Khunjerab Pass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-14-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Khunjerab Pass China-Pakistan in Gilgit Baltistan\" class=\"wp-image-52726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-14-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-14-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-14-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-14-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-14.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>It is the highest international border crossing in the world<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Khunjerab Pass, more commonly referred to as the Pak-China border, is the highest point on the architectural marvel known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/guide-karakoram-highway.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karakoram Highway<\/a>. Located at an altitude of 15,397 feet, it is also the highest paved international border crossing in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time to visit this beautiful landmark is between May and September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning a road trip from Islamabad to Gilgit Baltistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a detailed tour plan to Khunjerab Pass. Given your budget, you can even turn it into a full-fledged Pakistan tour. All you\u2019ll have to do is increase the number of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, it will take you about 3 to 4 days to travel from Islamabad to Khunjerab Pass by road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important tip:<\/strong> Instead of driving your own car, rent a suitable vehicle. It&#8217;s always better to hire an experienced driver familiar with the twists and turns on Karakoram Highway. If you are travelling with a group, there are a lot of tour groups offering reasonably priced packages from each city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Northern Areas Transport Corporation, also known as NATCO, provides Islamabad to Hunza bus service<strong> <\/strong>at really affordable rates as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 1: Departure from Islamabad<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-20-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"A person driving on the highway\" class=\"wp-image-52730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-20-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-20-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-20-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-20-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-20.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This road trip might be a little long, but the mesmerizing view won&#8217;t let you feel tired<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s better to leave Islamabad in the early hours of the morning to avoid any major traffic jams. If you don\u2019t want to get stuck on the road for hours, you must strive to cross Mansehra before sunrise. It is recommended to only stop for breakfast once you reach Balakot. Make sure to have a light meal and pack some snacks for the road, as it\u2019s going to be a long ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Balakot, it\u2019ll take you about five hours or so to reach your next stop, a beautiful village called Besal right outside Naran. Avoid making a stop in Naran as it gets very crowded during the tourist season. Instead, take a tea break at Besal before heading to Lulusar Lake and Babusar Pass. You only need to spend a few minutes at both of these tourist destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Babusar Pass is the highest point in this valley, connecting the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Gilgit Baltistan. The road descending from this mountain pass is full of sudden twists and turns. That means the driver needs to be extremely careful. It\u2019ll take you approximately 3 to 4 hours from this point to reach Jaglot via Karakoram Highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, people prefer staying in Chilas. However, if you\u2019re travelling during the summer months, it\u2019s better to stay in Jaglot as the former tends to get very warm. Stay the night in this small but extremely hospitable town and have dinner at a local restaurant. The more rest you get, the more you\u2019ll be able to enjoy your vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 2: Jaglot to Hunza<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-23-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Hunza River flows along the Karakoram Highway in Gilgit Baltistan\" class=\"wp-image-52731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-23-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-23-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-23-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-23-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-23.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Altit Fort has the perfect view of the beautiful Hunza River<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a stress-free road trip is to avoid traffic. This means you need to start your day as early as possible. On the second day of your trip, leave the hotel by 8 am and make your way towards Hunza Valley via Karakoram Highway. On your way, take a short photography break at Three Mountain Junction. It&#8217;s one of the most popular tourist destinations in Gilgit Baltistan where you can see the world&#8217;s three greatest ranges \u2014 the Karakoram, Hindukush and Himalayas \u2014meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can take another short break at Rakaposhi View Point. However, don\u2019t spend too much time here as you\u2019ll need to make another stop in a few hours for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you stay on track and don\u2019t make any unnecessary stops, you\u2019ll reach Karimabad, the capital of Hunza district, in about 3.5 hours. You can stop here for lunch and then drive for a few more minutes to visit the historic Altit Fort. Built nearly 1100 years ago, this fort is considered to be the oldest monument in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a quick tour of Altit Fort, you can travel to the famous Eagle\u2019s Nest in Duikaar for some scenic photographs. Make sure to reach your hotel by sunset and spend the night in Hunza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 3: Hunza to Nagar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-12-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Blue waters of Attabad Lake in Gilgit Baltistan Pakistan\" class=\"wp-image-52735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-12-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-12-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-12-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-12-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-12.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Attabad Lake remains one of the top tourist attractions in the region<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out of your hotel early in the morning so you can avoid traffic on your way to the mesmerizing Attabad Lake, which is undoubtedly one of the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/most-beautiful-lakes-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\">most beautiful lakes in Pakistan<\/a>. This enchanting blue lake was formed due to a huge landslide. It is also probably one of the biggest tourist destinations in Gilgit Baltistan. If you get here before the rush hour, you can take a short boat ride or even go jet skiing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking pictures at Attabad Lake, you can make your way to Baltit Fort, yet another historical monument in the valley. Constructed nearly 700 years ago, this is also considered one of the most historical tourist destinations in Pakistan. It is bigger than Altit Fort, though the two belonged to the same family in different time periods. You can take a guided tour of this fort and have lunch at a nearby restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling on Karakoram Highway, you\u2019ll reach Minapin village in Nagar Valley within an hour and a half of leaving Baltit Fort. This small village in Gilgit Baltistan is home to some of the most welcoming people you\u2019ll come across this trip. You can go for a short walk and stay the night in one of the local hotels. However, make sure to book a room in advance as this area only has two major hotels that are extremely popular among domestic and foreign tourists alike.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 4: Trip to Khunjerab Pass<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-11-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Road to Khunjerab Pass Pak-China Border\" class=\"wp-image-52737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-11-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-11-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-11-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-11-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-11.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The road to Khunjerab Pass can get quite steep in certain places<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The road trip to Khunjerab Pass is not short by any means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earlier you leave the hotel, the sooner you\u2019ll be able to get back. Ideally, you should be on the road by 7 am. It\u2019ll take you nearly six hours, in ideal weather conditions, to reach Khunjerab Pass. On the way, you can stop at the famous Hussaini Gojal Hanging Bridge and take some memorable photographs at the scenic Passu Cones. It is also referred to as \u2018Passu Cathedral\u2019 due to the peaks\u2019 unique shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you enter Khunjerab National Park, you can take a short break for tea and some snacks. From this point onwards, the drive up to Khunjerab Pass is going to be very steep. Due to the high altitude, the oxygen level is also bound to drop, which means you need to conserve as much of your energy as possible. Moreover, you might encounter a lot of traffic on your way to the national park as it remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in Pakistan.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People are supposed to park their vehicles at a little distance from the Pak-China Border. You can walk over to the dividers placed in front of Khunjerab Pass and pose for photos in front of the majestic gate. There is also an ATM machine nearby, which is believed to be the highest ATM in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After spending an hour or so here, you should make your way back to Nagar. By the time you reach your hotel, it\u2019ll most probably be dark outside. You can have dinner and spend another night there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 5: Make your way back to Naran<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-19-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Scenic view of Lake Saiful Muluk in Naran Valley\" class=\"wp-image-52738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-19-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-19-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-19-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-19-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-19.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>If you can spend a little more time in Naran, make sure to visit the mesmerizing Saiful Muluk Lake<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to make your way back home. However, you won\u2019t be able to reach Islamabad within the same day due to heavy traffic on Karakoram Highway and in Naran. If you leave the hotel around 9 am, you\u2019ll probably reach Chilas between 1 and 2 pm. You can grab some lunch in this area and then travel for nearly four more hours to reach Naran. Due to ongoing construction and heavy tourist influx in Gilgit Baltistan, you\u2019re likely to get stuck on the road as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you reach Naran by sunset, you can take a stroll in the main market area and have dinner at one of the many restaurants located in the valley. You\u2019ll have to spend the night here, but make sure to book a room at least a week in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 6: The journey back home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-7-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Vacation suitcases and sneakers by front door\" class=\"wp-image-52739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-7-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-7-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-7-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-7-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-7.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>There&#8217;s no place better than home<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After having breakfast in Naran, set out for Islamabad. You\u2019ll have to cross Balakot and Mansehra before you can stop for lunch in Abbottabad. With summers being an ideal time to go on a tour of northern areas, you are most likely to encounter a lot of traffic on your way home. However, if you don\u2019t come across any major jams, you\u2019ll reach Islamabad around noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, it\u2019ll take you about seven to eight hours to get from Naran to the federal capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your budget and vacation days, you can further customize this tour from Islamabad to Khunjerab Pass by adding a few more tourist destinations to your itinerary.
