Continue driving for another 30 minutes until you arrive at Karimabad, the main town in Hunza Valley. You may need to pay a toll fee at the Khunjerab Pass entry point, which is approximately PKR 100-200.

Public Transportation

From Khunjerab Pass, you can take a shared jeep or bus heading towards Karimabad. There may be limited schedules, so it is advisable to confirm the timings with local transport operators. The journey will take around 3-4 hours. The cost for a shared jeep is typically around PKR 500-800 per person. Ensure you have cash available, as card payments may not be accepted.
