Gilgit-Baltistan
Altit Fort
Hunza's oldest surviving fortified settlement, dating back over 900 years.
Older than Baltit Fort, Altit Fort stands atop a sheer 300-metre cliff face plunging into the Hunza River gorge. Its ancient Shikari watchtower once guarded the valley entrance. Surrounding the fort is Altit Khun, a revitalized historic village with stone paved alleys and heritage fruit orchards.
