Karachi sits considerably further from Hunza than Lahore or Islamabad, here's the honest practical picture for travelers starting their trip from Pakistan's southern coast.
Getting to Islamabad first: A domestic flight from Karachi to Islamabad (roughly 2 hours) is the only realistic option, the road distance is too great to consider driving.
From Islamabad onward: The standard Hunza approach applies from here, fly to Gilgit and transfer by road, or continue by road via the full Karakoram Highway.
Realistic total trip length: Budget at least 7 to 8 days from Karachi given the extra flight leg, or consider extending to 10+ days to make the long journey worthwhile.
Combining with other stops: Given you're already flying through Islamabad, consider adding Taxila or a Lahore stopover to the itinerary rather than treating the transit purely as a connection.
