High up in Gulmit, in the Gojal reaches of Hunza, Kavan Residency gives travellers a comfortable base among the mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan. Rooms run from PKR 3,000 to PKR 7,500 per day, so there's a range to suit a quick overnight or a longer wander through the valley. What stands out here is the on-site cook, who takes the guesswork out of meals when the nearest options might be a walk away — hot food ready without you having to hunt for it after a day on the road. Geysers keep the hot water running, which matters more than you'd think once the Gulmit evenings turn cold, and Wi-Fi lets you send word home or plan the next leg of the trip. If you've driven up, there's parking on the property, so the car stays close. It's an unfussy, practical sort of place: the kind of guest house you want when the point of the trip is the scenery and the road, not the four walls you sleep in. For anyone heading through upper Hunza and wanting somewhere steady to rest, it does the job well.
