Baltit Fort - Hunza Valley - Gilgit Baltistan - Pakistan
Baltit Fort
Baltit Fort is an ancient fort in the Hunza valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
Founded in the 8th CE, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative list since 2004.
In the past, the survival of the feudal regime of Hunza was ensured by the impressive fort, which overlooks Karimabad.
The foundations of the fort date back to 700 years ago, with rebuilds and alterations over the centuries.
In the 16th century the local prince married a princess from Baltistan who brought master Balti craftsmen to renovate the building as part of her dowry.
The Mirs of Hunza abandoned the fort in 1945, and moved to a new palace down the hill.
The fort started to decay which caused concern that it might possibly fall into ruin.
Following a survey by the Royal Geographical Society of London a restoration programme was initiated and supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture Historic Cities Support Programme.
The programme was completed in 1996 and the fort is now a museum run by the Baltit Heritage Trust.
The restored Fort, resplendent in its formal regal glory, was inaugurated on September 29, 1996 in the presence of His Highness the Aga Khan IV and the president of Pakistan Farooq Ahmad Khan Laghari.

This View ????| Baltit Fort, Attabad Lake & Karimabad in HUNZA Pakistan
In this Pakistan Travel Vlog we visit Baltit Fort, Attabad Lake & Karimabad in Hunza Valley. This is right after some epic hiking to fairy meadows to get a view of Nanga Parbat.
Northern Pakistan is beautiful, and we discover all sorts of interesting things in this episode.
We start off in Karimabad where we try on some tardition Pakistani clothing from the area. There was even a rock tea! I'll have it next time. After we hike up the steep hills to Baltit Fort. From the top you can really see howe incredible the valley is. There are towers of stone in every direction.
We continue our road trip to Attabad lake which was created by an avalanche which blocked a river. It's vibrant blue, and somewhere below the surface there is a drowned town. That's an adventure for another day.
Pakistan tourism is on the rise. It's often called a dangerous place to travel. Our purpose was to spend our time, as foreigners in Pakistan to disprove this, and show the beauty of the people and the landscape to the world. CPIC Global sponsored out trip, but we did so without any security or military escorts. The only trouble we got into was bumpy roads.
While normally I solo travel, I was excited to have so many friends on the trip. Siya Zarabi from Hopscotch the Globe, Lexie Alford from Lexie Limitless, Ryan Riel from Opposite Travellers, Anushae Khan, Brooke Saward, and Alexandrina Cojocaru.

Motorcycle Trip to Pakistan - Just one word - Wonderful!
The trip was two months long and I did a little above 13,000km. I was on the territories of Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh. I had wonderful time there and met so many so many great people. The idea of these video series is to show you the world the way it is. No hard edition, no cinematic effect. I want you to see and feel everything I have experienced there. Before I start the trip I was looking for information about this part of the world and found that there is not enough. I believe that these video series will fill the gap and provide the necessary information for every motorcycle traveler who has these destinations in his mind.
