Our Hunza tour package for 5 days is the shortest and lowest-priced of our Hunza group tours from Lahore. It is a standard group tour: a Toyota Coaster, standard hotels and rooms shared by 3 to 4 people.
The coaster leaves Lahore at 11 pm and gets to Naran in the morning, after breakfast in Balakot. You have the afternoon for the optional jeep to Lake Saif-ul-Malook. On day two we go over Babusar Top and up the Karakoram Highway, with stops for Nanga Parbat and Rakaposhi, and sleep in Hunza.
Day three is the big one: Attabad Lake, the Passu Cones, the Hussaini suspension bridge, Sost and the Khunjerab Pass at 4,693 m, with Karimabad bazaar on the way back. Day four is the drive back to Naran, and on day five we are in Lahore by about 10 pm.
Four nights in hotels, breakfast and dinner, one BBQ night, the Khunjerab ticket, tolls and a tour guide are in the price.

The coaster leaves Lahore at 11 pm from Thokar Niaz Baig or Barkat Market, stops at Bhera and picks up Islamabad guests on the way. We stop for Fajr, have breakfast in Balakot and reach Naran in the morning. After check-in and some rest, you can take the optional jeep to Lake Saif-ul-Malook. Dinner and the night are in Naran.
After breakfast we drive past Lulusar Lake and over Babusar Top (4,173 m) to Chilas. We then follow the Karakoram Highway along the Indus, stopping at the Nanga Parbat viewpoint, the point where the Karakoram, Himalaya and Hindu Kush meet, and the Rakaposhi viewpoint. We check in to the hotel in Hunza for dinner and the night.
Breakfast is at 8 am. Our first stop is Attabad Lake, where you can take a boat out, then the Passu Cones and the Hussaini suspension bridge. After a break in Sost we drive up to the Khunjerab Pass (4,693 m) on the China border. On the way back we stop at Karimabad bazaar before dinner and a second night in Hunza.
Breakfast is at 8 am and we leave at 10 am. It is a full day on the road back down the Karakoram Highway and over Babusar Top. We reach Naran in the evening and dinner is at about 9 pm.
After breakfast at 8 am we leave Naran for Islamabad, where Islamabad guests get off. We take a break at Kallar Kahar and reach Lahore around 10 pm.

Travellers' Voices
At 11 pm from Thokar Niaz Baig or Barkat Market. Departures run through the season, so WhatsApp us for the next date and the exact pickup point. The coaster leaves Lahore at 11 pm, and Islamabad pickup on the way.
Yes. We pick up Islamabad guests on the way north on the first night and drop them in Islamabad on day five. There is no extra charge for joining in Islamabad. The pickup point is near the motorway or GT Road so the coaster stays on its route, and we share the exact spot with booked guests before departure.
PKR 27,000 per person in a room shared by 3 to 4 people. Children aged 3 to 9 pay PKR 19,000 and children under 3 travel free. A couple in a private room pay PKR 64,000.
Two days. We sleep in Naran on the first night and reach Hunza on the evening of day two, over Babusar Top. The way back is the same, with a night in Naran.
Yes. Day three goes to the Khunjerab Pass (4,693 m) and the national park ticket is included. The boat on Attabad Lake and the jeep to Saif-ul-Malook are extra.
Standard hotels in Naran and Hunza, booked on availability for your dates. We send you the names a few days before departure.
A 30% advance confirms your seat. Cancel more than 7 days before departure and we refund 75% of what you paid; 5 to 7 days before, we refund 50%. Cancellations in the last 4 days, and no-shows, are not refunded.
You sleep in Naran on nights one and four and in Hunza on nights two and three. Days two and four are long drives, about a full day each way between Naran and Hunza, so bring snacks and something to read. Breakfast is paratha, egg, milk tea and channay or aloo bhujia. Dinner rotates between chicken karahi, chicken qorma, chicken pulao, daal and a vegetable dish, served with fresh chapati and a cold drink. One night is a BBQ (chicken leg or chest piece) with a bonfire and music.
This route crosses Babusar Top between Naran and Chilas, and that road is usually open from mid-June to late September or early October, depending on snow. That is the main window for these tours. In some years Babusar stays shut until July, and when it is closed the road to Hunza goes along the Karakoram Highway through Besham instead. That way is longer, so we tell you the changed plan before you pay the advance. The Khunjerab Pass has always closed to traffic from December to March. A year-round opening for trade was announced in late 2024, but trips to the top in winter still depend on snow. In summer the pass is open and the national park ticket is part of the price.
This is the standard version of our 5-day Hunza trip. The luxury tour follows the same route on the same days in the same coaster, with a higher category of hotel and food, for PKR 6,000 more per person. If you want Altit Fort and Gilgit city too, look at the 6-day tour.
