Up in Gulmit, a little way beyond the busier stretches of Hunza, this family-run guest house makes a quiet base for travellers who want the valley without the crowds. Rooms go for between PKR 4,000 and PKR 7,000 per day, which keeps a stay here comfortably within reach for most visitors passing through Gilgit-Baltistan. What sets the property apart is its on-site cook, so you are not hunting for a meal after a long day on the road, and geysers keep hot water running for those cold mountain mornings and evenings. Wi-Fi is available too, handy for checking routes ahead or letting people back home know you have arrived safely. It is the kind of place where the family looking after you knows the area, and the pace is relaxed rather than hotel-brisk. Guests tend to appreciate the mix of home cooking and a warm room at the end of a day exploring, and the Gulmit setting puts you well up into upper Hunza. If you want somewhere unfussy, well kept and genuinely welcoming for a few nights in the mountains, Karakorum Family Guest House Hunza fits the bill without stretching the budget.
