    Pakistan

    A long-time favourite with tour groups, who enjoy the large shady gardens that the hotel encloses, along with the excellent service. Rooms are spacious…

  • Hotel Hunza Embassy

    Karakoram Highway

  • Batura Inn

    Karakoram Highway

  • Hotel Blue Moon

    Karakoram Highway

    The small rooms have new bedding which makes them better than the average, but the precarious stairways don't impress, neither do the tiny bathrooms…
