Old Hunza Inn carries the kind of name that fits its setting in Karimabad, a nightly stay that trades on warmth and the basics done properly. Rates land between PKR 7,500 and PKR 10,000 per day. The inn keeps an on-site cook, so dinner arrives without you having to venture back out once the mountain cold settles in, and there is something to be said for a hot meal in a place where the evenings turn sharp early. Geysers handle the hot water, sparing you a bracing wash before a morning out among the peaks, and Wi-Fi keeps you reachable and able to check what the roads and weather are doing further up the valley. The Karimabad location puts the bazaar, the viewpoints and the trails all within comfortable reach, which is really the point of basing yourself here. It is an unpretentious spot that concentrates on the things guests actually notice: being fed, being warm and staying connected. For visitors after a homely, well-rounded base to return to each evening rather than a showy hotel, Old Hunza Inn strikes the right note.
