Where ice becomes life

From the melt streams of Rakaposhi and Ultar Sar, through miles of limestone and quartz — Hunza Oxidane captures water as the valley has drunk it for centuries. Cold. Mineral-rich. Alive.

Chapter I — Origin

The valley that time forgot

Nestled in Gilgit-Baltistan, the Hunza Valley sits among giants — K2, Nanga Parbat, Rakaposhi. Isolated by the Karakoram, its Burusho and Wakhi communities have drawn life from glacier melt for generations.

Each summer, from May to October, ice releases water that carries fine glacial silt — rock flour ground over millennia. This natural filtration enriches every drop with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and silica before it ever reaches a bottle.

"Locals swear by it, and prefer it to filtered water — served in homes and restaurants throughout the melt season."

Chapter II — The journey

From peak to palate

Four stages. Zero shortcuts. This is how water earns the name Oxidane.

01 — Glacial release

High-altitude springs and melt streams descend from peaks above 7,000 metres. Water travels through carbonate-rich rock layers, picking up bicarbonates and trace minerals naturally.

02 — Natural filtration

Layers of ice, quartz, and limestone act as nature's filter. Fine glacial silt — sometimes giving the water a distinctive grey sheen — carries silica and electrolytes in colloidal form.

03 — Source capture

At our facility in Khyber Gojal, Hunza, water is collected at the source — preserving its mineral profile and natural alkalinity without chemical treatment or artificial enhancement.

04 — Precision bottling

Bottled under strict quality controls in formats designed for daily life — from compact 600ml packs to family-size 1.5L bottles. Pure spring water, unchanged.

Chapter III — Composition

What nature puts in

Scientific studies of Hunza region waters show bicarbonate-type alkalinity with minerals within WHO guidelines — enriched by geological filtration, not a factory.

Calcium

Essential for bone strength and cellular function. Naturally absorbed from limestone strata.

Magnesium

Supports muscle function and energy metabolism. Present in glacial runoff throughout the valley.

Potassium

Vital for heart rhythm and hydration balance. A hallmark of pristine mountain spring water.

Silica

Found in colloidal form from quartz-rich rock flour — associated with skin and joint wellness in natural medicine traditions.

Questions

Common inquiries

Hunza Oxidane comes from high-altitude spring and glacial melt filtered naturally through rock. It carries bicarbonates, calcium, magnesium, and silica — giving it a slightly alkaline profile unlike processed municipal or artificially mineralised bottled water.
No artificial minerals or flavourings are added. Water is captured at source and bottled under quality-controlled conditions to preserve its natural composition.
Our production unit is in Khyber Gojal, Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan. Our office is located at 1st Floor, Apna Bank Jutial, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
