Hunza road today — live status of the Gilgit-Hunza route.Road is Open.The Gilgit-Hunza road is one of the more reliable routes in Gilgit-Baltistan, covering approximately 100 km along the Karakoram Highway and taking 2.5-3 hours to Karimabad, Hunza's main town. The route passes scenic stretches along the Hunza River, with Rakaposhi visible for much of the drive.
