Sacred Rock of Hunza

The Sacred Rocks of Hunza or Haldeikish constitute one of the earliest sites of petroglyphs along the ancient Silk Route. It is a cultural heritage site in Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. The carvings on the rocks date back to the 1st Millennium AD. The rock is situated on top of a hill which lies to the east of the Hunza River. The site is located on the main Karakoram Highway (KKH), positioned between the Ganish village and the Attabad Lake. In times past, it was accessible via well-worn stone steps and harbored a collection of Buddhist cave shelters. However, due to the harsh weather conditions and the passage of time in this mountainous area, many of these shelters have deteriorated, leaving only a few preserved examples. The rocks are one of the major tourist attractions in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
