Looking for Lahore to Hunza by car? Welcome Rent A Car, DHA Phase 1, has you covered – self drive or with a driver, delivered to your door.
Lahore to Hunza – the trip
From Lahore it is about 980 km to Hunza – 2 days of driving via M-2 + KKH / Babusar. Most of it is mountain road after Islamabad, which is why we send drivers who have done this route many times and suggest an SUV or 4×4, or a Hiace for groups. Northern tours are booked with our driver only, never self drive.
A suggested plan
- Lahore to Islamabad or Abbottabad for the night.
- On to Chilas over Babusar (summer) or along the Karakoram Highway.
- Chilas to Karimabad with Nanga Parbat and Rakaposhi viewpoints.
- Baltit and Altit forts, Eagle's Nest at sunset.
- Attabad Lake, Passu Cones; Khunjerab when the border road is open.
- Two days back with a night at Chilas or Besham.
Change anything you like – add a night, skip a place, or start from Islamabad. Send your dates and hotel bookings and we will plan the drive around them.
Don't miss
- Baltit and Altit forts
- Eagle's Nest
- Attabad Lake
- Passu Cones
- Khunjerab Pass
When to go
April to October – blossom in spring, gold in October. The Karakoram Highway is open all year; Babusar is summer only.
