Altit & Baltit Fort
"Guardians of Hunza’s Heritage"
Altit Fort – The Oldest Watchtower of Hunza :
Altit Fort, over 900 years old, stands proudly on a cliff overlooking the Hunza River. Originally built as a defense post, it later became the seat of power for Hunza's royal family. Restored with care, the fort now showcases ancient architecture, hidden passageways, and stunning valley views, reflecting the resilience and rich legacy of the region.
Baltit Fort – Crown Jewel of Hunza’s Heritage :
Perched above Karimabad, Baltit Fort is a 700-year-old masterpiece blending Tibetan and local design. With its wooden balconies and carved interiors, the fort tells tales of Hunza’s royal past. Once the main palace, it now serves as a cultural museum, preserving artifacts, traditions, and the spirit of mountain royalty.
