Hunza Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan

View to Altit Fort

View to Altit Fort, east of Baltit. It was originally home to the hereditary rulers of the Hunza state who carried the title Mir, although they moved to the somewhat younger Baltit fort nearby three centuries later. Altit Fort and in particular the Shikari tower is around 1100 years old, which makes it the oldest monument in Gilgit–Baltistan.
