About this tour

Discover Nagar Valley, a spectacular mountain region in Gilgit-Baltistan, where traditional villages sit beneath the towering peaks of the Karakoram. Across the valley from Hunza, Nagar offers wide views of Rakaposhi and Diran, glacier-fed streams, green fields and peaceful orchards. It is a rewarding destination for travellers seeking scenic drives, village experiences and outdoor adventure. e-tourism.visitgilgitbaltistan.gov.pk

Begin your journey at the Rakaposhi View Point near Ghulmet, a convenient stop along the Karakoram Highway where you can admire the mountain and its surrounding glaciers. Continue toward Minapin, a welcoming village known for its mountain scenery and as the starting point for the Rakaposhi Base Camp trek. The trail passes through alpine landscapes and offers a closer look at the glaciers and high peaks. More experienced trekkers may plan longer routes toward Diran Base Camp or Kacheli Lake with a local guide and suitable preparation. e-tourism.visitgilgitbaltistan.gov.pk

Another highlight is Hoper Valley, where visitors can experience dramatic views of Hoper Glacier and the snow-covered mountains surrounding the settlement. Take time to enjoy the changing scenery, walk through village areas and pause at viewpoints for photographs. The valley’s mix of cultivated land, rugged slopes and ice-covered peaks gives Nagar a distinctive character throughout the journey. District Tours
