Four decades of hospitality in the heart of Hunza
Since 1980, Hilltop Hunza has stood among the oldest and most cherished hotels in the valley — a place where old-fashioned Hunza hospitality meets the comforts of a modern stay. Its story is woven from thousands of guest journeys, each nurtured by a family's unwavering care.
A home for travelers from far away
For more than four decades, guests from every continent have found their footing here — trekker groups, families, and solo travelers alike. The welcome is personal, the valley is close, and you are never a stranger for long.
A front-row seat to the Karakoram
Set above Karimabad, Hilltop faces the towering peaks of the Karakoram — Rakaposhi and Ultar Sar among them. Step onto your balcony and the valley opens beneath you, unhurried and immense.
Rooms that hold the view
Each room is composed around its window: plush bedding, quiet modern comfort, and a panorama that changes with the light. Draw the curtains at dawn and Rakaposhi is already waiting.

Breakfast where the mountains sit at your table
Mornings begin slowly here — fresh bread, apricot preserve, and Hunza tea, served while the first light moves down the peaks outside the window. Dinner returns the same view under a different sky.

"Got a chance to stay in Hilltop Karimabad... And I must say what an amazing experience it was. The location, service, hygiene, and everything was top-notch! Their manager and owner were very humble and helpful as well. Hot water was available 24/7. We liked the hotel so much that we extended our stay in the same hotel. And last but not least, people of Hunza, you are amazing. So hospitable and loving. Location is amazing as well."

"Beautiful view and a really nice location right in the middle of Karimabad market. The rooms are very luxurious and clean, with AC, fridge, TV, and clean beddings. The food was also extremely delicious here, and try to not miss the rubab music nights sometimes hosted in the hotel."

"Pleasant place at the heart of Karimabad, next to the main shopping street. Friendly and helpful staff, and rooms have a wonderful view of the city and the valley. The one thing they need to improve on is the pathetic wifi access, which was very slow and patchy. One often loses the connection merely minutes after logging on."
