The 08 Days Gilgit Tour is a soft adventure through the breathtaking landscapes of the Karakoram Mountains in northern Pakistan. This journey explores the beautiful valleys surrounding Gilgit, including Hunza Valley, Nagar Valley, and Naltar Valley, each offering a unique blend of nature, culture, and history.
Gilgit serves as the gateway to these iconic destinations. Hunza Valley, located approximately 100 km north of Gilgit, is the highlight of the tour and is famous for its dramatic mountain scenery, glaciers, freshwater streams, and traditional villages. Karimabad, the cultural heart of Hunza, offers charming bazaars, heritage sites, and comfortable hotels. Key attractions include the historic Baltit Fort and Altit Fort, beautifully restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
The tour also includes visits to Nagar Valley, home to the stunning Hopper Glacier, and a scenic jeep excursion to Naltar Valley, renowned for its alpine lakes and pine forests. A visit to Khunjerab Pass (Pakistan–China Border) adds an unforgettable high-altitude experience along the Karakoram Highway.
Optional activities include walking across the Hussaini Suspension Bridge, boating at Attabad Lake, short hikes to glaciers and meadows, and exploring local culture and cuisine. This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a relaxed yet immersive experience in Gilgit Baltistan.

If you’re traveling to Pakistan, you’ll need a visa. Depending on your nationality, you can get it on arrival or apply online before your trip. You can also go to your local Pakistani embassy for a tourist visa. The length of stay varies: e-visas can be up to 3 months (extendable to 6 months), while visas on arrival are valid for 30 days. Make sure to check visa requirements with the authorities, as they might change.
In Pakistan, what you wear depends on when and where you’re going. In hot areas, wear light, loose clothes like a shirt and trousers. For cold places, bring warm clothes like a jacket and layers. When visiting mosques, cover your head, arms, legs, and shoulders. Dress modestly and avoid shorts. If you’re unsure, it’s best to dress conservatively.
June–September: Monsoon season with unpredictable rains, reaching over 45°C (113°F) in June. Floods can occur.
October/November: Post-monsoon season with decreasing temperatures and rainfall. Days are warm, nights cool.
December–February: Winter months with pleasant daytime temperatures around 20°C (68°F) and colder nights, especially in the northern mountains where it snows.
March–May: Hot and dry season with temperatures in the mid-30s°C (95°F) in low-lying areas, getting hotter towards the north.
Although Pakistan has faced challenges in recent years, it’s now generally safe to visit as long as you stay in busy areas. Some people might worry about coming here, but trust us, there’s a lot to discover beyond what you see in the news. You can be confident that Rock Valley Tours wouldn’t take you anywhere unsafe.
