Garden serenity with authentic warmth
Kavan Residency — An Eco-Friendly Retreat in Gulmit
Nestled in the heart of Gojal, Upper Hunza, Kavan Residency is a family-run retreat that combines rustic charm with comfort. Guests enjoy a peaceful environment surrounded by stone-and-wood aesthetics, lush gardens, and mountain views, all within easy reach of Gulmit’s cultural and natural highlights.
