Welcome to the breathtaking mountain paradise of Hunza! The fair-skinned and light-eyed people of Hunza, known as Hunzakuts, have an intriguing claim to be descended from soldiers lost during Alexander the Great's invasion of India (although genetic studies have disproved this). The local language, Burushaski, remains an enigma as it is unrelated to any other known language. Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of this wonderland, from the delicate blossoms of the apricot trees to the imposing snow-capped rock monuments of Rakaposhi (7788 m) and the recently conquered Ultar Peak (7388 m). These stunning peaks create a vivid blue backdrop against the sky. Witness the magnificence of Bublimoting Peak. Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Hunza, where the majority of the people are Islamili Muslims, following the teachings of the Aga Khan.
