Hunza Itinerary Guide (3 to 10 Days)

How long do you need in Hunza, and what should you actually do each day? Here are proven itineraries from a quick escape to a full Upper Hunza exploration.

How many days do you need?

Three days is the practical minimum to enjoy central Hunza if you fly to Gilgit; five to seven days is ideal to include Upper Hunza and Khunjerab without rushing; ten or more days lets you add Nagar, Naltar, Skardu or a trek.
