Activities

Tours

We arrange sight-seeing trips, as per your interest. Hunza is a tourist’s dream come true! From ancient forts to hanging rope bridges, turquoise lakes, the ancient silk route, staggering glaciers, local bazaars, it has something to offer for everyone. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Hunza has so much more to offer than what typical tour operators can show you and this is where Route16 comes in. We have developed strong ties with the community through our philanthropic work and can arrange home-stays, feed you fresh cooked home-meals, engagements with local artisans, among many other hidden treasures to explore!

Hikes & Treks

From 1 hour treks to those which last several days, we can arrange hikes for you as per your physical fitness. Number of guests make Silk Route Lodge their base and go on multiple hikes returning from one hike to rest at their home at Silk Route Lodge before setting off on the next hike/activity. There are a number of hidden treks that we personally take our guests to! Guided day hikes are priced at Rs. 5000, while fees for specialised excursions vary based on the destination.

Bonfire

Enjoy bonfire under a star studded sky for just Rs. 3,000 per hour.

Musical Nights

We arrange musical evenings where local boys and girls sing and dance to the mesmerising sound of rubab, daamal, dadang and surnai.

Rafting/Canoeing /Rock/Climbing/Rappelling

These activities can be arranged at advance notice for our guests. We especially cater to first timers. 

Picnic

We know the gem spots where you can go for picnics and star gazing. We will take care of the picnic basket should you so wish.

At the Property

While you can be out and about in the mountains, what our guests love the most about the place is finding a quiet space to just enjoy the nature at the property or walking down to the river and taking a dip in the ice cold water in the summer months or walking almost to the middle of the river bed in the dry winter months; both have their own charm! You may also often find company for a little workout in the lawns or try out your cooking skills in our kitchen!
