1,000+ Years-Old Altit Fort, Eagle's Nest & Altit Bazar | Hunza Valley, Pakistan Travel Diary’26 🇵🇰

Join me in the heart of Hunza Valley as I explore Altit Fort, the oldest monument in Gilgit-Baltistan, dating back nearly 1,000 years! 🏰 Perched on a cliff high above the Hunza River, this fort was once the seat of Hunza's royal family. I walk through its ancient rooms, climb up to the famous Shikari Tower, and take in breathtaking views of the gorge below. Restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, it's one of the best-preserved historic sites in Pakistan. Next, I head up to Eagle's Nest in Duikar, one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Hunza, with sweeping views of Rakaposhi, Ladyfinger Peak and the entire valley. 🏔️ To wrap up, I stroll through the charming Altit Bazaar just outside the fort, browsing local shops and stopping for a cup of tea at Ancient Sip Cafe. ☕ ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 0:30 Altit Fort – history & architecture 5:00 Shikari Tower & views of the Hunza River 7:30 Eagle's Nest viewpoint 9:30 Altit Bazaar 11:00 Tea at Ancient Sip Cafe 12:30 Final thoughts 📍 Locations: Altit Fort, Eagle's Nest (Duikar), Altit Bazaar, Ancient Sip Cafe – Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan 💡 Travel tips: • Altit Fort is visited by guided tour; allow about an hour • Visit Eagle's Nest at sunrise or sunset for the best light • Combine Altit and Baltit Fort in a single day, as they're just a short drive apart If you enjoyed this video, please like, comment and subscribe for more food and travel adventures! 🙏 #AltitFort #Hunza #EaglesNest #GilgitBaltistan #TravelPakistan
