Autumn in Hunza and Phandar Valley brings with it a vibrant color palette as the hills and slopes are covered in leaves and snow; making the region more picturesque than in any other season.The transition from summer to Autumn takes place during the last few days of September. Autumn is a time when the landscape of Phandar and Hunza valley looks like a painting, with the tree leaves turning gold, red, orange and yellow, contrasting sharply with the barren mountains with snow-covered peaks and the emerald green waters of fast-flowing rivers. It is the best time for exploring the beautiful upper Hunza valley.
