When I was 12, my grandmother took me to Eagle's Nest for the first time. She told me stories about how our ancestors used to light fires here to signal traders coming through the valley. I became the first woman guide in Hunza because I wanted to share these stories - not just the pretty views, but the real history of our people. Every sunset here reminds me of her. I'll show you the exact spot where she sat, and maybe you'll feel what I feel when the mountains turn gold.
About This Experience
Experience the most iconic viewpoint in all of Gilgit-Baltistan. Eagle's Nest offers a 360-degree panorama of the Hunza Valley, with views spanning from the ancient Baltit Fort to the towering peaks of Rakaposhi, Diran, Golden Peak, and Lady Finger.
Your experience begins with a scenic drive through the Duikar village, where your local guide will point out the intricate terraced fields that have sustained local communities for centuries. Arriving at Eagle's Nest, you'll have time to explore the viewing platforms and enjoy traditional Hunzai tea and snacks.
As the sun begins its descent, watch in awe as the mountains transform through a spectrum of colors – from brilliant gold to deep crimson – in what photographers call the "Golden Hour of Hunza."
