Gilgit-Baltistan
Baltit Fort
700-year-old former seat of the Mirs of Hunza overlooking Karimabad.
Perched dramatically above Karimabad bazaar, Baltit Fort served as the fortified residence of the Mirs of Hunza for over seven centuries. Built on Tibetan-influenced timber and stone architectural traditions, it was meticulously restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) and holds an official spot on Pakistan's UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List.
