Altit Fort

Altit Fort, perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the Hunza River, is one of the oldest surviving forts in northern Pakistan. Once home to Hunza’s ruling Mir, it reflects centuries of Balti and Tibetan influence. Beautifully restored, the fort now stands as a living museum of Hunza’s rich heritage.
