Baltit Heritage Hotel sits on Karimabad Road in the heart of Hunza, an unpretentious hotel that trades on its location more than any frills. At a flat PKR 2,000 per day, it is about as budget-friendly as Karimabad gets, which makes it a natural fit for backpackers and independent travellers who would rather spend their money out exploring the valley than on a fancy room. The essentials are covered: Wi-Fi to check the weather and plan the next day's route, geysers for hot water when you come in cold from the mountains, and laundry to keep your kit fresh on a longer trip. What you are really paying for is the setting, up in old Karimabad within easy reach of the bazaar and the historic forts that give this part of Hunza its name. Guests who want a simple, affordable roof over their heads while the real attraction is right outside the door will find little to complain about here. Book it as a base, not a destination, and it does exactly the job you need.
