The famous Hunza apricot

Hunza and Skardu are celebrated for some of the finest apricots on earth, grown in clean mountain air and glacier water. Their natural sweetness and dense nutrition are the reason apricots are such a beloved part of Gilgit-Baltistan's food heritage.

Naturally sun-dried — no sugar, no chemicals

Our apricots are dried the traditional way — under the open mountain sun — with nothing added. No sugar, no sulphur, no preservatives. That is why they may look darker than bright commercial apricots: darker colour is the sign of naturally, chemical-free dried fruit.

Two delicious ways to enjoy them

Eat them dry as a chewy snack, or soak a handful overnight and enjoy the soft fruit with its sweet, vitamin-rich water in the morning — a traditional mountain way to get the most from every apricot.
