Duikar
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.
The Ultar glacier trek can be done as long day trek or one can camp for a
night at Ultar meadow. It is recommended to take a guide on this trek.
Eagle’s Nest Hotel can arrange every thing for you.
It is a pleasant hour stroll to the Hazrat Abbas shrine near Shabbat
village. From here there are spectacular views down to Karakorum Highway and
an awesome views of Golden peak, Rakaposhi, Ultar and Lady's Finger
mountains. The management of Eagle’s Nest Hotel will gladly assist you in
