Walk the bazaars where mountain packs of dry fruits in Gilgit’s wider region are sorted by hand and sold by the kilo. Hunza apricot stalls and walnut sellers set the sensory standard GB Dry Fruits tries to preserve in sealed packs for customers across Pakistan.
Farm-to-table here is not a slogan — it is a morning market rhythm: growers arrive with sacks, buyers taste, and grades are decided by eye and smell before lunch.
What will you find in Hunza dry fruit markets?
Sun-dried apricots, local almonds, walnuts, mulberries, and mixed trail packs. Bargaining is common; quality varies by season and by how carefully fruit was dried after harvest. Peak apricot color and fresh nut oils are the cues locals trust.
- Golden Hunza-style apricots sold loose by the kilo
- Small almond and walnut lots from nearby orchards
- Gift mixes assembled on the spot for travelers
- Seasonal chilgoza when forest gathers arrive
How GB Dry Fruits keeps that market standard
Not everyone can fly to Hunza for a tasting stroll. GB Dry Fruits grades and packs in Gilgit City so you get consistent moisture, clean sorting, and sealed bags that travel well — without sugar coatings that mute orchard flavor.

Tips if you visit the bazaar yourself
Ask when the fruit was dried, smell the nuts (stale oils are obvious), and buy mid-morning when stock is freshest. Then compare that sensory memory with a GB Dry Fruits pack at home — that is the farm-to-table loop we aim to protect.
