Altit Fort, 11th century fort in Hunza Valley, Pakistan
Positioned on a cliff edge, the fort contains small rooms with wooden carvings and narrow corridors connecting different levels of the structure.
The fort served as residence for Hunza rulers until they relocated to Baltit Fort, marking three centuries of regional administrative transitions.
The surrounding Altit settlement houses Burusho people who speak Burushaski, a language without connections to any other known linguistic group.
The fort maintains regular visiting hours following extensive restoration work by the Aga Khan Trust and Norwegian government collaboration.
The Shikari tower within the fort complex remains the oldest standing structure in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan.
