Altit Fort Hunza is a must visit spot in Karimabad located near Baltit Fort. You need to buy a ticket on affordable rates to visit Altit Fort. Fort is a spectacularly sited defensive work overlooking the Hunza river valley.

Beautiful ancient place, as if you are in the movie scene. The fort guide is soooo hilarious 😂, entertaining us too well. A great photographer too. Really admired how they maintain it well, despite has passed for centuries!

Cool fort with interesting history (get a tour guide if possible!) Free entry included if you're staying at the Serena Altit Fort hotel. The views are even better from the top of the fort, as you can see more of the river. Would recommend!

Altit Fort is an 1100-year-old Fort built and ruled by then Mir of Hunza in the town of Altit, later they moved to nearby Baltit Fort. Altit means "this side down" and the town is considered to be inhabited by Huns from the Persian Empire around 47 A.D. The fort is built on top of a high cliff and is over 1,000 feet above the Hunza River. The fort is at some 30 minutes’ walk or a 15 minutes’ drive from Karimabad city and is surround by the friendly and courteous population of Altit.
We visited Altit Fort on 21st September 2015. Riding up in the mountains we reach the Altit village while returning back from Nagar Valley. At the start of the Altit village, there is a small office where you can buy the ticket to enter the Altit Fort. From that point, we were assisted by a well-trained and knowledgeable guide who provide us the complete tour of the Altit Fort. Walking toward the fort there are many local houses and shops where the local population is busy in their daily tasks. At the entrance of the fort, there is a workshop run totally by the women of the Altit, where they craft and sell handicraft items made with wood. Outside the workshop is a large garden in front of the fort, that garden is planted with grass, pine trees, peach trees and many other types of trees that constitute the environment of the garden a marvelous spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Crossing the garden we entered the fort made of rock, clay, and wood. The fort is well maintained by the Agha Khan Foundation and represents as a museum as well. The guide gives us the tour of every piece of the fort and explains in detail about the history and items present in the fort. The views of Hunza Valley, Karakorum Highway, Hunza River, snow covered mountains and of the other areas seen from the fort is extremely magnificent and breathtaking.
At Altit Fort there were many local and foreign tourists, in them there was a Japanese lady and she asked us to have a group photo with us. After touring the fort we came back to the garden of the fort, in the garden there is a café that is also run by some really nice local ladies. Do remember to bring a camera with you there are lots of spots here for photography.
