A room with the mountain in it
Every room faces the range. Open the curtains and Rakaposhi is simply there, changing colour from grey to gold while you make your first cup of tea.
Breakfast from the valley
Hunza bread still warm, apricot jam made from our own orchard fruit, organic tea and whatever the season is giving. Included with every stay.
A valley worth staying for
Forts, glaciers, a lake the colour of turquoise and a road to the Chinese border. We will tell you when to leave and which way to go.
Every stay becomes a story
At Karakoram Tales, every stay becomes a story. Nestled on a ridge in the heart of Hunza Valley, our boutique hotel combines the serenity of the Karakoram mountains with modern comforts. Wake up to breathtaking peaks, enjoy the freshness of orchard air, and feel at home with personalized service.
We are a small, family-run house — which means the person who checks you in is the same person who will tell you where to watch the sunset, and remember how you take your tea.
