Naltar Trip

The Naltar Mountains, located northwest of Gilgit, boast dozens of summits reaching heights of around 5000 meters. While not as towering as some peaks in the Karakoram range, many are still quite impressive. What sets Naltar apart is its relatively higher rainfall compared to other areas in the Hunza Valley, which results in lush alpine forests—a refreshing contrast to the arid landscape typical of the Karakoram region.

Naltar has a rich history, having served as a British hill station in the past. Today, it is home to various military facilities, including a Pakistan Air Force winter survival school. This indicates the strategic importance of the area and its role in military training and operations in the region.

For visitors, Naltar offers not only stunning mountain vistas but also opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, and skiing during the winter months. The alpine forests provide a tranquil setting for nature lovers and adventurers alike, making Naltar a hidden gem in the rugged terrain of the Karakoram.
