Hunza's mountain weather swings from hot afternoons to cold nights, so smart layering matters. Here's exactly what to pack.
Even in summer, evenings and high passes are cold, so pack layers: breathable base layers, a warm mid-layer (fleece), and a windproof/rain jacket. For spring and autumn add a heavier down jacket; for winter, serious insulation, gloves and a hat. Modest, comfortable clothing is best for the local culture.
Comfortable walking shoes or light hiking boots; sandals for guesthouses.
Strong sun at altitude — sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat are must-haves.
ATMs are scarce and cards rarely accepted — carry enough Pakistani Rupees.
Personal medication, basic first aid, and something for altitude and stomach upsets.
Layers: light clothing for warm days plus a fleece and windproof jacket for cold evenings and high passes, sun protection, comfortable shoes, and cash.
Warm layers, a hat and gloves even in summer — it sits around 4,700m and is cold and windy. Ascend gradually for altitude.
Very few, and cards are rarely accepted. Carry enough Pakistani Rupees in cash for your whole trip.
