Karimabad anchors the valley; Altit and Baltit forts loom from the ridges. Internet is patchy — a local SCO 4G SIM or Special Communications Organization fiber is the workaround. Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar, and the Batura group are the local marquee peaks (K2 and Nanga Parbat launch from Skardu/Astore, not Hunza). Pakistan's eVisa is online-approved in 7–10 days for most Western passports.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
