Before you book a Lahore to Hunza bus

Before you book a Lahore to Hunza bus, three things are worth settling.

  • Gilgit is the fallback

    Gilgit has more departures, and local transport up the valley to Hunza runs through the day.

  • Aliabad or Karimabad

    Coaches stop on the Karakoram Highway around Aliabad; Karimabad sits on the hillside above. Check where yours sets down.

  • Cold nights

    Hunza sits at around 2,400 m, so nights are cold outside high summer. Pack a warm layer for the final hours.
