The 2 Magpies, Hunza

Hummble staff.
The front desk staff greeted us with fresh juice.
The resort grounds are absolutely stunning and impeccably maintained.

I stayed in 2Magpies for 3 nights and enjoyed every single second of it. The place is so beautiful and cozy with the main reception and lounge/dining area and the huts themselves.
The huts were clean but one should be prepared as it is in nature that one might encounter insects. However the atmosphere was very calm and you can sit outside and reconnect with nature the birds (especially the magpies), the trees, the snow capped mountains with a view of Rakaposhi.
The subtle additions of bird decor around the place was an absolute treat to spot. Great for families also.
The team was also very welcoming and attentive. 10/10 stay. They also upgraded us to a luxury hut. Shoutout Redstart Hut :)

If there is one place in all of Gilgit-Baltistan that I would recommend without hesitation — and the only place I would ever consider staying again — it is The 2 Magpies in Aliabad, Hunza.
This is not simply a place to stay; it is a magical retreat, a fairytale sanctuary lovingly created with extraordinary vision, care, and attention to detail. Every corner reflects thoughtfulness, creativity, and a deep respect for the natural environment. The way the property has been preserved, protected, and integrated into its surroundings is truly exceptional.
The food is wonderful, the service is warm and genuine, and every interaction is delivered with a smile.
What Umbreen and Arif have achieved is nothing short of remarkable. They have created a standard of hospitality that is unmatched anywhere in the region — a place filled with beauty, warmth, soul, and authenticity.
I honestly didn't want to leave.
Congratulations, Umbreen and Arif, and thank you for sharing your magical creation with the rest of us. The world needs more places like The 2 Magpies.
And if you haven't been to The 2 Magpies yet, do yourself a huge favor and go. You can thank me later!

The cottage has beautiful wooden interiors, clean rooms, and stunning mountain views. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy, perfect for relaxing. There’s also a small market nearby, so you can easily get all your essentials. The food was amazing too.

This is one of the nicest hotel experiences I have ever had. So good we returned for two more stays as part of our visit. The owners and the staff are lovely and welcoming.
The site has been carefully curated to encourage the feeling that you are in the woods. The chalets are fantastic, well made, sustainable, cared for and clean. They have fantastic views of Rakaposhi mountain.
The attention to detail is amazing, with handcrafted elements everywhere you look. The owner is a keen carpenter and bird expert — this comes through throughout the hotel.
The food is amazing, with great Local and European options. The staff are so lovely and helpful.
If you appreciate nature, calm, great food and lovely, interesting people, this is the place for you.

We stayed at 2Magpies for a couple of nights, and our experience was beyond amazing. It’s a truly beautiful place — something I never thought I’d see in Pakistan. The cabins nestled in the woods are a nature lover’s dream. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and sipping my morning coffee while looking at the majestic Rakaposhi felt absolutely surreal.
The owners, Ambreen and Arif, are the sweetest couple, full of warmth and positive energy and their entire team, including Inayat, Salman, Alizain and the rest of the boys were incredibly hospitable and kind. The food here was also exceptional, easily the best we had in Hunza.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Hunza, it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

Our family didn't actually stay here, but would have loved to! Discovered this unique place down the road from our accommodation (Hunza Bliss). Absolutely beautiful, bird-themed, mini-resort with carefully thought out attention to detail by the owner who is a well-known bird watcher. Decorated throughout with locally made arts and craft. Abundant use of coloured glass, hand-paintes tiles and cane furniture. The huts are named after birds and are equally beautiful with a central fire-pit to enjoy. We tried their home-made ice cream which was delicious. Very friendly and courteous staff. The 2Magpies is on our bucket list as a top favourite 😊

I’m obsessed with this place! It truly is such a magical spot! The staff is so nice and helpful. The views are stunning! The restaurant is super delicious and has a ton of options. Their desserts are my favorite :) must try the pumpkin ice cream! Everything in the room is thought out. They have things to clean your feet after hiking, fresh water in the room, a fridge, hot water! I could go on and on. Such a cozy place! Highly recommend! Oh and they are a sustainable forward / environmentally friendly place which I love! They also have a garden right outside of my room :) I can’t wait to come back and visit one day!

A nature loving hotel, straight off with a fantastic menu, have a protein rich breakfast of Omelette to start the morning. Rooms are very comfortable and the views fantastic. Arif and Umbreen have done a very good job with details showing their efforts. Lovely homely couple, fantastically educated and knowledgeable, capable of providing a very good cerebral evening.
Highly recommended. ❤️

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Nature – 2 Magpies Hotel and Café
We stumbled upon the 2 Magpies Hotel and Café by chance while exploring the local area, and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be. The place has a warm, rustic charm that immediately draws you in. The wooden decor is beautifully done — you can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into creating a welcoming atmosphere.
The food menu was impressive, with a wide range of options that made it hard to choose just one dish. Between the seven of us, we ordered a variety of drinks and meals, and everything was fresh, flavourful, and well-presented. We were pleasantly surprised that the total cost was very reasonable for the quality and quantity we received.
The staff and chef were incredibly friendly and took the time to chat with us about the menu and ingredients. It added a personal touch that made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
The surrounding area is beautifully wooded and peaceful — perfect for a relaxing stay. Inshallah, we’re already looking forward to coming back and staying here next time.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Our stay at The 2 Magpies in Hunza was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the courteous and attentive staff, who went out of their way to ensure our comfort throughout the trip.
The resort offers a perfect blend of luxury and nature. The huts were beautifully designed, spacious, impeccably clean, and offered breathtaking panoramic views of the majestic Hunza valley. Waking up to the sight of snow-capped peaks and fresh mountain air was truly a dream come true.
The food deserves special mention, every meal was a delightful experience. From traditional local dishes to continental options, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
What really sets The 2 Magpies apart is the attention to detail and the calm, peaceful ambiance. Whether you're looking to relax, explore, or just disconnect from the world, this resort is the perfect escape.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hunza — it’s a place you’ll never forget.

They have the best food in Hunza, and the service level is amazing. Good value for money. This hotel is for those who are adventure driven and don't mind living in a forest.

Me and my daughter, stayed on 9th and 10th April 2025.
It was an amazing experience.
Rooms were extremely clean, like 5 star hotels.
Staff was outstanding and cordial.
Perfect dining experience.
Owners were extremely humble and interactive.
Will reside @ 2 Megapies, whenever l will visit Hunza again lnshallah.
Also will tell my friends and colleagues about the resort.

The 2 Magpies is an absolute delight—cozy, charming, and full of character. Nestled amidst the stunning scenery of Hunza, it offers not just breathtaking views but also warm hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The food is thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and made with local ingredients, and the ambiance is both peaceful and inspiring. Whether you're sipping tea on the patio or chatting with the friendly hosts, every moment feels special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Hunza in a truly authentic and heartwarming way.

The place is iconic on a beautiful location overlooking the valley, mountains and beautiful sky.
The rooms are you eco-friendly and beautiful. However the gap below the door keeps the cold air getting inside the room (which is not suitable for winters) and allows insects to crawl in.
The staff are very helpful and friendly.
The dinner was good; we tried local cuisine. But the breakfast is subpar.
The main negative thing about this place is the internet; very slow and unavailable most of the time.

This was our first stay at the 2magpies and I must say it was one of the best hotels I have stayed at, we were given a warm welcome by the owners who were both lovely. The rooms were clean with ample toiletries, filtered water and lovely decor. Breakfast was delightful as was the surroundings and garden area. Staff were friendly and really helpful. Overall an amazing stay! We will surely return!
