Hunza was an independent principality for 900 years. The British gained control of Hunza and the neighbouring valley of Nagar after the Hunza-Naga Campaign in 1891, as the British suspected Russian involvement "with the Rulers of the petty States on the northern boundary of Kashmir;"[1]. The Tham (Chief/Mir) of Hunza escaped to China.

About Hunza Peak.... 6270m
Hunza Peak lies in the westernmost subrange of the Karakoram range along with the Ladyfinger Peak (Bublimating). It lies on the southwest ridge of the Ultar Sar massif, the most southeasterly of the major groups of the Batura Muztagh. The whole massif rises precipitously above the Hunza Valley to the southeast.
Bublimating, while having little prominence above the saddle with nearby Hunza Peak, is particularly notable for being a sharp, relatively snowless rock spire among snow peaks.
FLYING OVER HUNZA PEAK :
This peak has at least two known routes, both climbed in 1991. Both routes where done in alpine style, the first by a Swedish expedition and the second by a British team, which included Caradog Jones and Mick Fowler.
