Time your trip with a festival and you will see Hunza's culture at its most colourful — music, harvests, spring rites and mountain sport.
Hunza's festivals follow the mountain seasons and the community's Ismaili and agricultural traditions. They are warm, welcoming events where visitors are genuinely included rather than kept at arm's length.
From spring rites to winter sport.
Celebrated in March as spring arrives — music, food and community gatherings across the valley.
A summer harvest festival marking the first cutting of the crops, rich in local ritual.
Cultural and music festivals — including Gojal music events — celebrating Hunza's heritage and setting.
Winter ski competitions on Naltar's natural slopes, a lively cold-season draw near Gilgit.
Exact festival dates shift year to year with the calendar and the harvest, so it is best to plan with local guidance. Tell us if you would like your trip to coincide with a particular festival and we will time the itinerary and stays accordingly.
Nowruz (spring new year) in March, the Ginani harvest festival in summer, Silk Route and Gojal music festivals, and winter ski events at Naltar.
