Thought to be more than 700 years old and located 3km from Baltit (traditional capital of Hunza), Altit fort was the original seat of the rulers of Hunza. Perched on a rocky cliff with a sheer 1,000 feet plunge to the Hunza River, the fort is an intricate maze of rooms connected by small doorways, ladders and trapdoors, built on three levels.
Altit Fort is one of the oldest surviving forts in the area. Over centuries, it has served as a stronghold for various rulers and clans, witnessing the region's historical transformations. Today, Altit Fort is a meticulously preserved heritage site that offers visitors a glimpse into the architectural prowess and lifestyle of the ancient Baltit civilization.
