Once you have had enough of Karimabad, you can travel one hour north, and find yourself on the Karakorum Highway leading up to China. This part of Hunza is in fact known as Gojal valley.
The first sight you will see is Attabad Lake. The lake was just formed back in 2010, when a massive landslide buried a 20 km stretch of the Karakoram Highway. You can find boats along the lake, that shuttle people and cars across.


Once you have left Attabad, you will find yourself in Upper Hunza, where the dialect is closer to Wakhi, spoken also in Xinjiang. The first main city you will reach is Gulmit, which is a historic town. It's not as developed as Karimabad, but you will be able to find some small stores here. Beyond Gulmit, you will pass Shishket, which has a small lake there as well. Continue onwards towards Passu, where you will get to see Passu glacier. There's not much there to do, except stare at gigantic mountain ranges that are barren and desert looking, but magnificent.


The last town before you can pass the checkpost to China is Sost. It isn't really populated, but is an important place on the highway for all passenger and cargo transport ; the Pakistani imigration and customs departments are based here.


There aren't many activities throughout the Gojal part of Hunza, so you can instead spend around 1-2 days wandering around the villages.

Just two hours from Gilgit is Hunza Valley. The Hunza Valley used to be a princely state until Bhutto dissolved that status. It is next to Xinjiang, in China, and is heavily influenced by the proximity to the Chinese border. I visited it in 2008, and again just last week, and can only attest to its beauty. The best way to get there is to fly to Gilgit, and then take a jeep or rented car/van to Hunza. You might get dropped you off in Aliabad, which is the main town in Hunza Valley. It has ATMS and major banks. Then, take another car to get to Karimabad, which is another 15-20 min drive.


Within Hunza, the main city is Karimabad, which overlooks Aliabad and the whole valley. Karimabad has some excellent 4 and 5 star hotels at ridiculously low prices (The Serena Hotel is Rs 6500/night). In Karimabad, you can also check out the musical instruments store, and dried fruit stores. Karimabad is located on the west bank of th Hunza River, and used to be a place for caravans traveling through the Hindu Kush to Kashmir, to rest. You can see the Hunza Peak, the pointed and narrow Lady Fingers peak, and Rakaposhi as well.  In March, there is Cherry Blossom season in Karimabad.
