Hunza Foodways (Private) Ltd. is incorporated with SECP under the Companies Act, 2017.

Our Story

Hunza Foodways was born as GS Hunza Dry Fruits in 2013 in Rahimabad, a village embraced by the towering peaks and crystal rivers of the Hunza Valley. We began as a small organic food cabin with a simple dream, to bring the pure, nutrient-rich bounty of our homeland to people beyond our valley. The unique climate, fertile soil, and centuries-old farming practices of Hunza give our dried fruits, nuts, and herbal teas their distinctive taste and remarkable health benefits.

In 2024, we rebranded from GS Hunza Dry Fruits to Hunza Foodways, reflecting our broader vision of sustainability, empowerment, and cultural preservation. Today, we remain rooted in our traditions while using modern tools to share Hunza’s finest harvest with the world.

Each sale from Hunza Foodways contributes to our tree-planting initiatives, helping to replenish the earth and preserve the pristine beauty of the Hunza Valley. We’re also dedicated to empowering local farmers, ensuring that they benefit from fair trade practices and sustainable farming techniques. In doing so, we uplift not only the land but also the people who call it home.
