Destinations across Pakistan
From the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush down to the Mughal cities of Punjab. Every place below can be built into a private tour or a group departure.
Gilgit-Baltistan & the Karakoram
The high north. Long driving days on the Karakoram Highway, glaciers within walking distance, and some of the biggest mountains on earth. Season runs roughly April to October.
Hunza Valley
Karimabad, Baltit and Altit forts, Attabad Lake, Passu Cones and Eagle’s Nest at sunrise. The most photographed valley in Pakistan, and still worth it.
Skardu & Shigar
Shangrila and Upper Kachura lakes, the Katpana cold desert, Shigar Fort, and the road on to Khaplu and the Shyok valley.
Fairy Meadows
Jeep to Tattu village, then a walk up to meadows facing Nanga Parbat. Continue to Beyal camp and the Nanga Parbat view point.
Khunjerab Pass
The Pakistan-China border at 4,693 metres, through Khunjerab National Park. Usually open May to November, weather permitting.
K2 & Concordia
The Baltoro glacier trek to Concordia and K2 base camp. A serious expedition — full porter support, permits and briefing handled by us.
Kalash Valleys, Chitral
Bumburet, Rumbur and Birir — the Kalash community’s own valleys, best visited around the Chilam Joshi or Uchal festivals.
Green valleys & Kashmir
Shorter drives from Islamabad, forest and river rather than rock and ice. Good for families, first-time visitors and long weekends.
Swat Valley
Mingora, Malam Jabba’s ski slope, Kalam and Mahodand Lake, plus the Buddhist archaeology around Butkara and Udegram.
Naran Kaghan
Saif ul Malook lake, Lulusar, Babusar Top and the Kunhar river the whole way up. The most popular short northern trip.
Neelum Valley
Keran, Sharda, Kel and the climb up to Arang Kel. Wooden villages, river crossings and some of the greenest country in Pakistan.
Cities & heritage
Mughal architecture, bazaars and museums — and the two cities most travellers fly into. Comfortable all year round.
Lahore
Badshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort, Wazir Khan Mosque, Shalimar Gardens, the Walled City food street and the Wagah border ceremony.
Islamabad & Margalla Hills
Faisal Mosque, Daman-e-Koh, Pir Sohawa and the Margalla trails. Our home city, and the starting point for most of our tours.
Somewhere else in mind?
Murree and the Galiyat, Chitral, Shandur, Khaplu, Gwadar, Thar, Taxila, Mohenjo-daro — we cover far more than fits on one page. Tell us where you want to go.
