Hunza Peak

Hunza Peak is a mountain summit in the Karakoram range reaching about 6,270 meters, part of the Batura Muztagh region. It rises directly above the Hunza Valley and forms part of a dramatic mountain cluster visible from below.

Swedish climbers achieved the first successful ascent in 1991, marking the peak's entry into mountaineering records. A British expedition followed that same year, expanding knowledge of the summit among climbing communities.

The mountain stands above the Hunza Valley where local people have shaped their lives around the high peaks. This summit is woven into how residents understand their landscape and their place within it.

Climbing attempts are safest between April and September when weather conditions are more stable and established routes remain passable. Visitors need several days to acclimatize and professional guides are essential for this summit.

This summit sits alongside Ladyfinger Peak, a striking neighboring mountain that creates a distinctive pair when viewed from the valley. These two mountains together form a natural landmark visible above the Hunza River.
