Passu is where the Karakoram Highway serves up some of its most dramatic views, and Passu Tourist Lodge, known locally as PTL, sits right on the highway at Janabad to make the most of it. Nightly rates are reasonable for such a setting, running from PKR 5,000 to PKR 7,500 per day. The lodge keeps an on-site cook, which counts for a lot in Passu where dining options are limited, so a hot meal is sorted without you needing to go looking. Geysers provide hot water for the cold mornings that come with staying this high in the valley, and Wi-Fi keeps guests in touch despite the remoteness. Being directly on the Karakoram Highway means easy access whether you are heading towards the Passu Cones, Gojal or continuing north. This is a stay built for travellers moving through one of Hunza's most photographed stretches who want somewhere warm, fed and connected to lay their head. Unpretentious and well positioned, PTL gives you the comforts that matter most in a place this far into the mountains, all at a price that leaves room for the rest of the trip.
