You will experience the longest mountainous ranges on the way towards Hunza. i.e. the Karakorum and Hindukush mountain ranges. We shall have a short stay at the confluence point of the three highest mountain ranges (Karakoram, Himalaya & Hindukush). Our second stop will be at Rakaposhi viewpoint in Nagar Valley.
