Valley Hunza
Duikar is a charming hamlet above the
village of Altit which is situated next to Baltit, Karimabad.
Karimabad is the capital of the former state of Hunza. The
state of Hunza was ruled by the same family for over 960
years, with their seat being the Baltit Fort.Both Baltit
Fort and the even older Altit Fort are worth a visitor
before you come up to Duikar or on your way down.
One of the main attractions of Duikar is the viewpoint (2900
m) which is a 5 minute climb up behind Eagle’s Nest Hotel.
Here you have the best views during sunrise and sunset, if
you have the chance come to Eagle’s Nest Hotel at full-moon.
Starting from Eagle’s Nest Hotel it is a 1 ˝ hours climb up
to Hosht (3600 m). From the Hosht viewpoint you have great
views of Ultar Mountains and Hopper glacier. The Hunza
panorama is wider and dearer here.
