Explore Hunza Valley Pakistan 2024/25

I went to Pakistan with my daughter in September 2023 and the trip was very well organized. They sorted out a guide who was with us for a full 10 day trek around Hunza, who was able to explain both the culture and the surrounding nature. I would highly recommend.

Hunza & Phandar Valley Autumn Tour - Pakistan

We were a bit anxious about Pakistan before the trip. However, Karim Tajik gave us good confidence. He is trustworthy and knowledgeable. The trip went smoothly from the planning stage until field execution. Autumn in Hunza is amazing. We also had many chances to interact with local community as Hunza Explorers is a truly local company. All the guides and staff are Hunza people. That is why they are well-educated and very kind. Highly appreciate Hunza Explorers company for any trip to Pakistan.

Hunza Cherry Blossom Tour, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

Thank alot to all our guide for their support during our trip . I have great time in hunza, passu, especially that time in sultan and rehman house,people there are so kind and friendly , i love them so much. I remember the day we trek through 2 bridge and finish at night , unforgetable memories .

Explore Northern Pakistan - Hunza & Skardu

Together with my girlfriend we travel from Uruguay to Pakistan by mid May through Exploria.pk. Our tour started in Islamabad and included Fairy Meadows (incredible place and landscapes), Hunza and all arround, Lahore and back to Islamabad. We did more than 3000 km going from -0 temperaturas to more than 40grades. We made the majority of the tour by car with a team of guide (Farman) and driver (Bilal) that performed perfectly, giving us assistance in every thing we needed and beyond, showing us how the deepper Pakistan is, telling how people is including the possibility to meet local people and listen folk music among other things as making possible to experience local food. We are more than happy to have discovered Pakistan and break the myths occidental people have about such an amazing country. We hope to be back sooner than later! Thanks Exploria who made all arrangements as per our request with very nice and comfortable locations. Thanks Farman and Bilal, we will always remember with a smile on our faces the days with you guys.

Hunza Valley & Fairy Meadows Tour, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

My sister and I recently joined the 10 days tour to Hunza, Fairy Meadows and Gilgit. Sultan was very responsive to all our questions . He was also flexible and worked out an itinerary that worked for us. His brother, Hassan was our tour guide up north. While his English was not great, he is pleasant, always helpful to meet our requests and also gave us space for privacy. He is experienced with the roads and territory in the north and we always arrived safely at our destinations. The only constructive feedback we have is it would be good to always give a brief summary to the travelers on where we are heading to next/tomorrow, how many hours’ drive, lunch or toilet breaks etc that would help to prepare the travelers for what is coming up next. The 4x4 car we took was clean and comfortable for the 3 of us. There were certain days with long drives along the Karakoram Highway which has amazing views. All the places in the north has spectacular sceneries. People in Pakistan are very friendly and welcoming to foreigners/travellers. We enjoyed ourselves very much. We would recommend this tour company for an amazing time in Pakistan.

Hunza Shangri-La Tour

Thank you Karim for showing us the amazing Hunza valley. I and my friends enjoyed the trip and most of us are thinking to come back in Autumn this year or next year. We are happy with your service and have no complaints. Hunza Explorers will organise our trip in autumn.

Explore Hunza Valley

Exploring the Hunza Valley in November 2023 was a captivating experience. Despite the chilly weather, the breathtaking landscape of towering mountains, vibrant autumn colors, and crystal-clear rivers made every moment enchanting. The warmth of the local hospitality added an extra layer of charm to the journey. However, it's essential to prepare for colder temperatures and occasional rain. Overall, Hunza Valley in November is a photographer's paradise and a soul-soothing retreat for nature enthusiasts.

12 Days Lahore, Islamabad, Hunza & Skardu Tour Pakistan

What people love about gilgit tours.

"Memorable trip with Sultan and his company Crossroads Adventure I never thought Pakistan is such a beautiful country and the people are so heartwarming. Sultan from Crossroads Adventure designed and organized a 16 days trip to Pakistan to the some of the most beautiful areas in Gilgit Baltistan Pakistan such as Hunza, Skardu, Gilgit, Nagar, and Gojal valley. The mountains are fascinating and landscape is magically beautiful. The arrangement was up to the mark from transportation, guide, accommodation and on top of them the it was unforgettable experience. I strongly recommend Crossroads Adventure and Sultan who owns the company for those who are interested in exploring Pakistan and are looking for a reliable tour organizing company. I will definitely take my 2nd trip to Pakistan next year with Sultan and his company Crossroads Adventure.

Gilgit-Baltistan Travel Guide

Updated April 2024 ,  The Gilgit-Baltistan Travel Guide was originally written in August 2018

Gilgit-Baltistan: Where the Karakorams and Hindu Kush gnarl together forming some of the world’s highest mountains. Home to Khowar, Shina, Wakhi, and Balti speakers (just to name a few!), as well as those using Burushaski- a language related to no other. Where hospitality knows no bounds and an adventure of a lifetime is at nearly every twist and turn.

Learn how to travel in Pakistan’s stunning Northern Areas in this Gilgit Baltistan Travel Guide.

Pakistan’s currency is the Pakistani Rupee ( PKR  or  Rs ). As of   April 2024, the current exchange rate is:

• $1 USD = 280 PKR
• €1 = 305 PKR

You can exchange to PKR in Gilgit, Karimabad as well as Sost, and there are ATMs in Gilgit city. For exchanging to and from RMB for those coming from and heading to China the best place to exchange is Sost. USD is generally the easiest currency to exchange.

Tipping – Tipping isn’t common practice in Gilgit-Baltistan as is the case in most of Pakistan. Those working in the tourism industry may expect a tip, so you can tip for good service.

People throughout the region are quite warm and welcoming and will invite you to stay in their homes and even offer you meals. You can try to leave a small amount of money for them as a thank-you, although it is common for them to refuse (I typically try to hide the money somewhere, like under a cushion).

Pakistan is home to over 60 languages, with Urdu and English being the official languages of the country. Gilgit-Baltistan is a clash of cultures and languages. Languages spoken in the region include Shina, Balti, Burushaski, Khowar, Wakhi, Domaki, Gujari, Pashto, Ladakhi, Zangskari, and Purgi.

The population of Gilgit-Baltistan are Muslim with the majority being of the Shia Sect, although the region is fairly diverse. You will find practitioners of both Sunni and Shia sects as well as Ismailism.

What To Wear In Gilgit-Baltistan

I 100% recommend purchasing a shalwar kameez when you arrive in Gilgit-Baltistan or Pakistan in general. Why wear something uncomfortable when you can don a shalwar? You can pick up a ready made shalwar for 1,500-2,500 PKR in Gilgit, but if you have the time I recommend having one tailored.

Okay, so what if you don’t want to wear the shalwar…

For The Boys : Trousers and long sleeve tops, but t-shirts are acceptable.

For The Girls : It’s best to dress conservatively because it’s the norm in Gilgit-Baltistan Long sleeved tunics that go mid-thigh in length or longer are best worn with trousers. Always have a scarf with you although you won’t be expected to wear it covering your hair most of the time.

Best Time To Visit Gilgit-Baltistan

For trekking and camping, the best time to visit is June-August, however, August can get quite crowded and a bit more expensive with Pakistani tourists visiting as well from all over the country. October & November are a great time to visit with the beautiful fall colors underway.

Getting Around

Most traveling in Gilgit-Baltistan will be done by either bus or jeep hire.  NATCO  (Northern Area Transport Corporation) is the most well-known transport company is in the area, but there are others. Transport companies, as well as  tour operators  in the region, can arrange jeep hire as well.

How To Get To Gilgit-Baltistan

To reach Gilgit-Baltistan you can do so by air and by road.

The Karakoram Highway (Aka: KKH or N-35) connects Gilgit-Baltistan with China to the north and to Islamabad in the south.

For those coming from Islamabad/Rawalpindi by bus, the journey to Gilgit will take roughly 19 hours and costs between 1,600 and 2,300 PKR.

For those coming down the KKH from China expect the journey (once the bus actually leaves) to take about 6 hours from Tashkurgan to the Pakistani border post at Sost. You can book buses either with  NATCO  or  Hunza Xinjiang Trading & Tourism  from the bus station in Tashkurgan for 225 RMB ($33 USD).

You will need to clear Chinese customs and immigration in Tashkurgan before boarding your bus (which will leave from the Khunjerab Port where you clear customs/immigration). From there it’s about 3 hours to the actual border crossing fence to Pakistan. From the fence expect about 3 hours of travel time to arrive in Sost.

From Sost you can find buses bound for the Hunza Valley, Gilgit, Skardu, Chilas, Astore, and beyond.

Read:  Everything you need to know to cross the border at Khunjerab Pass

One thing to note is that you will have to get out and pay the Khunjerab National Park fee on the way to Sost. You can pay the fee in Pakistani Rupee (800 PKR), Chinese Yuan (50 RMB), or US Dollars ($8 USD).

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) offers daily flights to Gilgit from Islamabad, taking about 50 minutes. It’s known to be one of the most scenic flights in the world but is prone to delays and cancellations due to weather. Prices are 12,110 PKR each way (roughly $100 USD).

PIA also offers a daily flight to Skardu from Islamabad taking 1 hour. This flight is scenic as well and suffers weather delays much like the Gilgit flight. Prices are 15,420 PKR each way (about $125 USD).

Many visitors are now eligible for an e-visa to visit Pakistan. You can apply for yours  here .

I will mention that in 2019 I applied and paid for a one-year multi-entry in my Italian passport and only received a single entry e-visa (I enquired about the mistake but it has never been resolved), so I’ve paid $52 for a single entry visa, rather than the $35 fee that you would normally pay for a single entry- so consider yourself warned.

In 2018 I still had to apply the old-fashioned way, through a consulate (this was on my US passport). I can say from personal experience that obtaining a tourist visa from the  Pakistani Consulate in Los Angeles  was simple, fast, and straightforward. The only document I was asked for that was not mentioned in the instructions on their website was a letter from my employer stating that my travel in Pakistan was not work-related and that I would be returning to my job after my trip.

Note that the visa application, whether applying online or at the consulate is extremely long and full of plenty of questions that I think are pointless (like seriously? I have to list every place I’ve visited in the last 5 years?!!?)

Permits & Special Permissions

You may have read in Pakistan you may need special permissions to visit certain areas and about needing a NOC (no objection certificate) to visit certain places. Most places that tourists go to in Gilgit-Baltistan do not need permits or NOC at the moment. Just note that anything in regards to bureaucracy in Pakistan could change in a second without any notice.

Good places to look up conversations on current info or ask questions are  The Karakoram Club  and  Backpacking Pakistan  on Facebook. In 2019 there were a lot of talks of certain areas of Pakistan not requiring NOC to visit, but some tourists have been asked for them.

Gilgit-Baltistan cuisine shares a lot in common with Chitrali cuisine in neighboring Khyber-Pakktunkhwa. Of course you will find pilafs, daal and other dishes common throughout Pakistan. Here are a few local dishes you’ll likely find in Gilgit-Baltistan:

Gholmandi : A filling of locally made cheese, coriander, and chives between two buttery chapatis. This is my absolute favorite.

Chapshuru : Meat, onion, chili, tomatoes, and coriander inside a thin dough. It looks similar to a calzone.

Shisar : A fried pastry-like snack made of wheat flour mixed with egg. Similar to fry bread or langos.

Rishoki : Like a pancake or crepe made of egg and wheat flour, dipped in butter. Can be savory or sweet.

Guli : Flatbread of wheat flour covered in heaps of butter.

Mantu : Steamed dumplings usually filled with meat, onion, garlic, and peppers.

Local Fruits : You can buy fresh local fruits ( during the season of course) from people on the side of the road. Make sure and try the mulberries, apricots, cherries, plums, and grapes when in season.

Chai : Chai accompanies every meal, and also be ready for plenty of chai stops in your travels as well.

Accommodation

For those wanting to stay on a tighter budget, it’s recommended to try to stay at smaller hotels, guesthouses, and inns in Gilgit-Baltistan. There are guesthouses and hotels available in Gilgit, Gulmit, Hunza, Karimabad, Fairy Meadows, Skardu, Passu, Astore, and more.  Search guesthouses and hotels on booking .

What To See & Do In Gilgit-Baltistan

For those that love dramatic mountains, turquoise glacial lakes, fascinating culture and great trekking Gilgit-Baltistan is a true paradise. There are too many stunning places to mention to check out here for this one blog post! Here are a few of the most common draws for those who visit the region.

K2 Basecamp, Baltoro & Concordia Glacier – The trek that takes you to the basecamp of the world’s second-highest peak. Usually an 18-19 day trek roundtrip.

Passu Cones – The Passu Cones can be seen as you traverse the Karakoram Highway in the Upper Hunza Valley near the village and glacier of the same name.

Hussaini Bridge – Known as the most dangerous bridge in the world. This rickety suspension bridge crosses the Hunza River with views of the Passu Cones in the distance.

Attabad Lake – This massive glacial lake was only formed in 2010 by a landslide that blocked the flow of the Hunza River resulting in this turquoise lake. The lake destroyed a section of the Karakoram Highway, forcing vehicular traffic to use barges to traverse the damaged 24 kilometer stretch. In 2015 the KKH was reopened through this section after 3 years of work and several tunnels and bridges. Attabad lake is 21 kilometers in length.

Baltit & Altit Forts – These 700 year old and 1,000 year old ( respectively ) forts perched in the Hunza Valley were once the homes of the Mir ( king ) of Hunza. They have sweeping views of the peaks and glaciers nearby.

Trekking – There are a dizzying amount of trekking and mountaineering options in Gilgit-Baltistan that will keep everyone happy from beginner to hardcore mountaineer.

Fishing – Until I stepped foot in Northern Pakistan I never knew that trout fishing was a big deal here.

Cycling – Many come to Gilgit-Baltistan to cycle the Karakoram Highway between Islamabad and Kashgar, China.

Where To Go

Gilgit-Baltistan is one of the most beautiful parts of Pakistan known for its massive mountain peaks. If you hate stunning mountain sceneries, sparkling lakes, welcoming people, and great food you probably should have stopped reading this travel guide a long time ago.

Gilgit City : The central travel hub for Gilgit-Baltistan and largest town along the Pakistani KKH. The main reasons to come to Gilgit is to exchange or get money out of an ATM, stock up on supplies/do some shopping, or spend a night between adventures. Gilgit City is accessible by road and plane.

The KKH connects the city with Xinjiang Province and China all the way south to Islamabad. Daily flights connect Gilgit to Islamabad.

Sost : Border town along the KKH in the Upper Hunza (Gojal) Valley. If arriving from China, Sost will be your first stop. Sost is the customs and immigration point for those coming from or heading to China.

Shimshal : Village in the north of Gilgit inhabited by Wakhi people. Several multi-day treks can be done from here including the most well-known in the area to Shimshal Pass. Note that most trekking in the Shimshal area requires prior permission, contact a local tour agency to arrange them.

Hunza & Nagar Valleys : Hunza and Nagar were formerly princely states until 1974. The Hunza Valley is a big draw for tourists to Gilgit-Baltistan.

Nagar Valley is located just south of Hunza Valley as you make your way down the KKH. From the Nagar Valley, you will have amazing views of Rakaposhi- the 27th tallest mountain in the world from the highway.

A few of the places to visit in the valley include:

• Passu Cones & Glacier
• Hussaini Bridge
• Baltit Fort & Karimabad
• Attabad Lake
• Barpu Glacier

Ishkoman Valley : Home to 20 villages that sit along the Ishkoman River at the bottom of the valley that lies between the Hindu Kush to the west and Karakorams to the east. There are several treks that can be done from Ishkoman Valley including a trek up Chillinji Pass to join the Chipursan Valley, and eventually back to the KKH near Sost, a trek connecting Imit to Darkot in Yasin Valley as well as another connecting Chatorkhand with Yasin Valley, and even a trek up the Karumbar Pass taking you to Karumbar Lake near the border with the  Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan . Another trek that can be done from Chatorkhand and Pakora up to Pakora Pass to reach either Nagar or Chalt.

Trekking to Asumber Pass between Asumber Village in Ishkoman Valley and Sandhi Yasin in Yasin Valley is another hike connecting to the two valleys. Another scenic hiking option is to hike from Gotulti in the upper Ishkoman Valley to Attar Lakes, up over Attar Pass to reach Darkhot in the upper Yasin Valley. Ishkoman Valley is accessible by road from the town of Gakhuch.

Guesthouses are available in Ishkoman Valley including the newly opened  Royal Guest House Birgal .

Yasin Valley : Just west of the Ishkoman Valley lies Yasin. Yasin has been historically important because it allowed access to Broghil Pass into Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor and to Chitral in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. Yasin is reachable by road from the town of Gupis.

There are several treks that connect Ishkoman and Yasin Valleys together (see Ishkoman section above for quick descriptions).

Shandur Pass : Shandur Pass is in the far western fringes of Gilgit-Baltistan’s Ghizer District connecting it to Chitral in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. Shandur Pass is famous as it is home to the Shandur Polo Festival each year held in July. Shandur Polo Festival is the highest polo festival in the world.

Phandar Valley : Located 60 kilometers west of Gupis, Phandar Valley is green, lush and surrounded by mountains. Access to the valley is possible by road from both Gilgit or from Chitral.

Skardu : Skardu is the capital of Baltistan District and the jumping off point for adventures into the Karakoram Mountains. Skardu can be reached by road from Gilgit and Islamabad, as well as by daily flights from Islamabad. Nearby things to do in the Skardu Valley include:

• Kharpocho Fort
• Shangril-La Lake
• Sand Dunes along the Indus River
• Sartpara Lake

Shigar Valley : The gateway to K-2, G-I, G-II, G-III, G-IV, Broad Peak and more massive mountains in the Karakorams. Expeditions and basecamp treks leave from the town of Askole. Reachable by road from Skardu.

Kharmang Valley : Located about 100 kilometers southeast of Skardu by road. Attractions here include:

• Manthokha Waterfall
• Mehdiabad Valley
• Khamosh Waterfall
• Mehdiabad Nala

Khaplu Valley :

The jumping off point for expeditions to Masherbrum Peak, K-7, K-6, Chogolisa and more peaks in the Karakoram. Located about 100 kilometers east of Skardu and accessible by road. There are several lakes to trek to along the Khaplu Valley as well.

Joot (Fairy Meadows) : A beautiful grassland located near the basecamp for Nanga-Parbat’s Rakhiot Face. From Chilas you will continue along the KKH to the Rakhiot Bridge and drive another 12 kilometers to Tato Village. From Tato trek 5 kilometers to Fairy Meadows.

There are lodges available in Fairy Meadows but you can pitch a tent as well.

Trekking & Mountaineering

• Thumushalling Festival : Celebrating the death of the last Buddhist king of Gilgit. Bonfires and dancing are a part of this celebration held mostly in Hunza, Ishkoman, and Gilgit Valleys on December 21.

Tour Operators & Guides

As we were a small group of mostly American passport holders we did have to go through a tour agency to get LOIs to apply for visas in order to visit Pakistan the first time I went.  Hindukush Karakoram Tours & Treks  took care of us and I can personally recommend them. Murad & Ayub are two of the best guides I’ve gotten to meet in all my travels.

Gilgit-Baltistan Travel Budget

Costs can vary widely in Pakistan depending on your travel style, and whether or not you will be required to book a tour in the country. While some may scrape by on less than 1,850 PKR per day, others may have a budget of 18,500 PKR per day or more. Here are some ideas of costs in the region:

• Hotel room : Expect prices to ring in around 3,500-100,000 PKR per night.
• Guesthouse : You can find dirt cheap rooms as little as 800 PKR per night. Most will range around 1,000-3,000 PKR per night. For those looking to really save on accommodation, you can try Couchsurfing.
• Local Transport : Depends on distance, but most transport should cost between 500 and 1,500 PKR between destinations in Gilgit-Baltistan. For longer journeys ( Islamabad and beyond ) expect prices to be 1,800 to 3,000 PKR.
• Jeep Hire : Expect to pay 6,000-7,000 PKR per day for a jeep and driver.
• Meals : For simple Pakistani meals you can expect to pay 150-200 PKR per meal, more for fancier restaurants.
• National Parks & Historic Sites : 500-800 PKR.
• Guided Tours : Expect most guided tours to cost in the range of $150-200 per day. Of course this typically would include guide, accommodation, meals and transport.

Packing List

• Inreach Explorer+ – A GPS and SOS beacon that can send text messages as well. Garmin offers reasonable monthly rates. Great for those planning to trek in remote areas.
• Solar charger – Keep your gadgets charged when camping and trekking.
• External battery pack – Good for keeping gadgets charged on long bus rides and when the electricity cuts out.
• Backpack – I recommend the  Osprey Ariel 65L backpack .
• Daypack – My personal favorite is the Osprey Hikelite Plus.
• 3 Season tent – I use the  MSR NX Hubba-Hubba solo tent  and the  Mountainsmith Morrison 2 person tent  and love them both!
• Sleeping bag – Useful for trekkers & cyclists. I use a  Nemo sleeping bag  cold rated to 20ºF/-7ºC.
• Hiking Boots – My personal favorite is the  La Sportiva Nucleo GTX  hiking boot.
• Lightweight cooking camp set – For trekkers and cyclists that plan to prepare their own meals.
• Water Purifier – I personally use the  Katadyn water filter .
• Trekking Poles – Useful for the steep scree slopes and river crossings you may encounter.
• Headlamp – Useful while camping, and for power outages.
• Sunscreen – Many places you’ll visit in Gilgit-Baltistan are at higher altitudes leaving you more susceptible to sunburn.
• Mosquito Repellant – Recommended in the summertime.
• Prescription & over-the-counter medications .

Guide Books

• Pakistan Traveller – Available in both paperback and digital download.

Online Resources & Handy Apps

• Lost With Purpose : Alex is essentially the queen of solo female travel in Pakistan (I mean, the boys can get pretty much all necessary info from her too).
• Root Network : Led by Alex, Aneeqa, Laila, Sara, and Turfa, the Root Network aims to ensure a sustainable future for the tourism industry of Pakistan.
• The Karakoram Club : Great Facebook group to see photos of the area and meet locals as well as other travelers.
• Backpacking Pakistan : Another good Facebook group. Great resource for Pakistan travel, asking questions, and meeting other travelers.
• Maps.me : Download on your mobile phone. This is an easy to use offline map.

Internet & Mobile

I didn’t come to Gilgit-Baltistan for the internet, and neither should you. Okay, okay, I know sometimes you do need to do important stuff on the internet. Several guesthouses and hotels in towns offer wifi, just be prepared for pretty slow speeds.

For SIM cards the recommended company is Zong, as they have the best coverage in Northern Pakistan- just make sure and have a local sign you up because you’ll pay a lot less.

Health & Safety

• Gilgit-Baltistan is one of the safest parts of Pakistan to visit. Standard precautions are usually enough.
• The most annoying thing you’ll likely encounter is (especially as a woman) are police that decide you need an escort and accompany you to wherever you’re going, even though it’s a perfectly safe place to visit. Of course, if you’re on a tour this won’t be such an issue, but if you’re traveling independently– you’ve been warned. This is probably the most frequent complaint I see from travelers in Pakistan in general.
• Solo female travelers will likely need to a bit more cautious traveling around Pakistan. It is still a very male-dominated society, so you can expect some harassment (though, northern Pakistan seems to be a bit more relaxed about this than other parts of the country). I have spoken with one woman who not once, but twice had men break into her hotel room while she was sleeping in Hunza, presumably to sexually assault her. I’m not trying to scare solo female travelers off, I have many great male and female friends in Pakistan, but these are all things I think you should be aware of.
• Many treks are in remote areas, so do take caution to avoid injury.
• On occasion, there are terroristic attacks that take place in Gilgit-Baltistan (such as the  attack on 12 girls’ schools in the Chilas area on August 3 , as well as the  attack on mountaineers in Fairy Meadows in 2013 ). They are not the norm in this part of Pakistan but are something to be aware of.

Other Important Notes

• Tourists aren’t allowed near the LOC (line of control) where Gilgit-Baltistan borders Kashmir.
• Sometimes you will find yourself assigned a free police escort armed with an AK-47. Annoying yes- but this isn’t too unusual.
• There are heaps of security checkpoints in Giglit-Baltistan as well as the rest of Pakistan. However, I didn’t find them to be as big a pain in the ass as the ones in Xinjiang, China.
• Bring tons of passport copies and visa copies for above mentioned security checkpoints.

Comprising 12 administrative districts, Gilgit-Baltistan boasts melodramatic and hypnotizing  panoramas  besides a rich history and culture. The people of Gilgit-Baltistan are very friendly, helpful and hospitable. It is worth mentioning here that Gilgit-Baltistan is the most visited region in Pakistan and is extremely popular among international tourists who mostly flock to the region during summer.

Gilgit-Baltistan is the place where the  three mighty mountains ranges intersect  – the Karakorum, the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush. The region is home to several rivers, including the Indus River. The lush green valleys boast fertile agricultural fields that produce high quality organic crops and fruits. The glacial and spring water running down the mountains and hills give epic views and taste delicious.

Gilgit-Baltistan is home to some of the most famous valleys, such as Hunza Valley and Skardu Valley. Moreover, it embodies a large number of the world’s high mountains, including K2, Nanga Parbat, Broad Peak, Rakaposhi, Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II. The good news is that you will get beautiful views of the famous Rakaposhi and Nanga Parbat from the comfort of your vehicle while travelling on the might Karakorum Highway (KKH).

Food and Meal Plan

During the Trek, participants will be served all three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). The food will include combination of Pakistani and foreign meals made of ingredients bought in Pakistan. Breakfasts will include coffee, tea, cereals, eggs, porridge/muesli, chappatti/bread. During trekking, lunches will be eaten during lunch breaks with options from tinned/canned meals (fish, meat), crackers, pickles, cheese, chapatti, pate etc. Depending on the weather, the lunches start with or sometimes end with soup, coffee or tea, juices etc. Dinner is always eaten in mess tent which is freshly prepared by our cooks travelling with us. During the initial days of trekking, fresh vegetables are also cooked until they remain fresh. Vegetarians must inform our office in advance if they want their entire meals to be vegetarian.

Iodine treated drinking water will be made available in the mornings, during breaks and while camping. Everyone will be drinking spring water when available but at other times, we do not have options other than consuming glacial melt water that might consist of silt. Our kitchen uses a large container for water supply that helps in settling down the silt at the bottom. If you do not like the odor of iodine, you might want to bring your own supply of bi-carbonate of soda. Conventional methods work well for everyone but we keep on experimenting new methods.

Arrival in Islamabad Pakistan and Airport Transfer

All our guests must arrive on day 1 at Benazir International Airport, Islamabad (Pakistan’s capital). Our guide/staff will be waiting for you outside the international arrivals gate in the airport premises who will take you to the hotel. All guests must notify us if they do not need transfers from airport. Guests must also submit their inbound and outbound flight details to our office two days before their arrival in Pakistan. Once you confirm your registration and make payment, more details including names and contacts numbers will be sent to you. Airport transfers will also be provided on the last day.

Accommodation

We arrange stays at standard hotels in Islamabad and our hotel picks in Hunza/Skardu are always one of the best in town. Rooms at our selected hotels will be provided on twin-sharing basis and will have en-suite amenities. During camping days, you will also be sharing a two-person tent. If you are traveling alone, you will be teamed with one of the other participants (of the same sex) for room and tent sharing. However you can get separate hotel rooms and separate tents for additional cost but both require booking in advance. Extended hotel reservations in Islamabad are possible.

A typical Day

On all trekking days, your guide will wake you up for warm tea or coffee followed by a good breakfast inside the mess tent(s). You will have time before breakfast to pack your bags again. Camp will be closed after breakfast and porters will get to work carrying supplies and luggage ahead of guests to arrive at the lunch site and prepare meals. Porters will repeat the same “trek-earlier” approach for dinner preparations. We will generally hike for 3-4 hours before lunch. Lunch normally takes at least one hour so it is a good time to gain your strength back, read, write etc.

Trekking after lunch break in the afternoon will generally be shorter than first half of the day. Once you reach the next camp, camps will either be setup or in the process and kitchen crew would serve a hot beverage first and dinner will be served when its ready. One can rest, socialize, read, write, and photograph etc upon reaching a camp. Temperature normally decreases at night and participants can get cozy in their personal sleeping bags before getting enough sleep for the next day.

Domestic Flights

In order to reach your destination (northern areas), we will be taking a flight which is subject to weather as the valley is surround by mountains and requires high visibility for any flight to operate. Due to the weather factor, no flights are guaranteed to operate. Flights to your destination do operate often but there are always chances for cancellations and in that case we keep road transport as backup and on standby. We cannot take the risk of waiting for another day in Islamabad for another flight for good reasons including complex airline booking system, tourist traffic flow in flights etc. Please beware of other trekking companies offering Trek that might keep you waiting in Islamabad in hopes of flights and end up not completing your long-awaited trek on time.

Karakorum Highway (In case of Flight Cancellation)

We advise all our guests to read foreign travel advices on their respective country’s foreign office websites. Travel advice for EU residents from their home country to your destination country (Pakistan) can be found on the European Commission website. Participants from other countries can look up on relevant websites or search “foreign office travel advice”. Most websites advice against travelling by road in Pakistan and some websites don’t seem updated. Please take note that incase one or both internal flights cancel, we will drive on Karakoram Highway and then via Gilgit-Skardu road to Skardu. This route is available on Google maps

Journey on Karakoram Highway is one of the best experiences in Pakistan for any foreign or domestic tourist, providing views of amazing natural environment and indigenous people throughout the road trip and never has any of our guest openly regretted traveling by KKH. We strongly advise that you contact and gain more information from your travel insurance company regarding road traveling coverage. If your company does not offer full coverage for your trekking holiday, you might look for other companies. For example in UK,  British Mountaineering Council  offers good solutions.

Guide (Leader) and Group Assistance Staff

All participants will be managed by our professional guide for the whole trekking holiday. They will be licensed and recognized from Pakistan’s Ministry of Tourism. Our guide will be the focal person for communication, assistance, help and complaints during the Trek. Our guides have vast experience with foreign clients and can communicate in English. They have been trained to interact with participants in a professional manner and we will appreciate if you keep the relationship friendly and yet professional. If you are a big private group from one country speaking a different language (for example Spanish), we can try rescheduling our guides speaking your language (if available). You will also be accompanied by kitchen crew, assistant(s) depending on the group size and last but not the least, porters.

These tough local porters belong to different villages of the surrounding areas and are mostly small subsistence farmers. They wait for foreign tourists to arrive so that they can earn and compliment to their existing income while their kids look after their small farms. Naturally they are tourist-friendly people who also have fun during trekking by having laughs and dancing to local songs when they get a chance. These porters and their elders have been doing it for decades and watching the porters at work with such energy is another vital offering of this holiday.

Miscellaneous Expenses and Budgeting

For expenses other than your holiday cost, you can carry approximately 240 EUR/250 USD/200 GBP/1700 CNY (or equivalent in your own currency). This can be used for other expenses including tips for porters and supporting staff. You can purchase Pakistani Rupees (PKR) upon arrival at the airport at good rates. US Dollars, Euros and Pound Sterling can quickly be converted into the local currency at the airport.

The porters are paid in Pakistani Rupees, not to mention everything else you may want to purchase in Pakistan. US Dollars will have an advantage of being easily exchanged at even smaller towns but we recommend one-time exchange. Credit cards can come handy for shopping in Islamabad for souvenirs/gift items including rugs. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) will be available in Islamabad and Skardu but using your debit/credit cards, you will only be able to withdraw Pakistani Rupees from ATMs.

Managing Tips

It is common that our participants at least tip the porters for their hard work carrying participant luggage and supplies. If you feel satisfied with the services of the guide, assistant(s), kitchen crew, you can contribute to the total tip. 95-120 Euros (or equivalent in your currency) would cover this element of the total expenses. The tour leader/guide helps all participants in deciding a tip for all crew members of the Trek. These tips are then handed over as a group in a “thank you” ceremony organized at the conclusion of the trek.

Baggage Allowance

Porters discussed above will be carrying your baggage/luggage apart from supplies, equipments etc. The maximum weight limit for your packed trekking bag is 12.5 kilograms (20 pounds). The load of your sleeping mattress and sleeping bag is included in the maximum limit. Please only bring required items on the trek. It will be possible for you to leave parts of your luggage at the hotel at your particular destination you chose. The maximum limit (12.5 kgs) strictly followed is assigned by the local porters organization. Your baggage allowance will not include equipments for mountaineering that you will bring along for the Trek. We will collect from you the mountaineering equipments at your destination that shall be carried separately by our porters.

All our potential guests are advised to read carefully and know the different elevations mentioned above for each trekking day. This is a strenuous trek at very high altitudes. Although this should not worry you as humans are reasonably gifted to become accustomed to high elevations, we must acclimatize according to our well-planned itinerary.

We are providing you with three lists for the Trek. List 1 and 2 contain items and equipments that you must bring. The third list contains optional items you might need on your trekking holiday. Based on your own judgment you can select things that you might need from the third list.

Minimum Group Participants and holiday Status

The required number of participant bookings i.e. six (6) registrations are required to conduct the “Fixed departures”. Although we receive several guests for each fixed departure, we feel that it is important to mention it. You can make sure of the trip status on this page. Status “available” means we are registering guests and “guaranteed” means we have crossed the required number of participants and the trip will commence on the given dates. We will constantly be in touch with all our guests who register. We will timely guide you step by step regarding visa applications and flight reservations to Pakistan etc.

Travel Documents & Visa

In order to apply for visas to Pakistan, you generally need a passport expiring later than (6) months. For more reliable and updated information, we suggest you to contact the nearest Pakistani consulate or embassy in your country. We expect that you will take full responsibility for ensuring you have the right travel documents. Normally if you are visiting non-EU countries, you must check for 2 vacant pages in your travel document (passport) for every country you plan to travel.

A tourist visa (visit visa) is required to come to Pakistan for trekking. People on work visas (already in Pakistan/abroad) require a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) which normally takes up to 6 weeks. The requirements and fee for tourist visas to Pakistan is normally around 200 USD but for accurate information you should consult Pakistani consulates nearby. To apply for a tourist visa, you will need a Letter of Invitation from our company and sometimes a duplicate (copy) of the “government trekking permit” for the group, processed by us.

INTERNAL FLIGHTS

Skardu fl ights.

Skardu is a weather-dependent airport. Since the valley is surrounded by high mountains, planes can only land here in good visibility and this means flights to and from Skardu are never guaranteed. Luckily, the weather in Pakistan is usually pleasant and planes do fly to Skardu very often. Should the flight be cancelled, the journey will be taken by road to Naran and then to Skardu.

HEALTH & VACCINATION

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you specifically require any vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with all the routine courses and boosters as recommended in the United Kingdom, United States and other developed countries, (diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella), along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis is discretionary for this trip. Malaria exists in the area around Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Incidences of urban transmission of malaria diseases are very low. In Gilgit Baltistan and the mountain valleys, there is no malaria risk.

It is recommended to have a dentist check-up in more remote areas in Pakistan. One of the good online resources is Travel Health Pro. Dengue fever is present around Islamabad, it is a tropical viral illness spread by daytime biting from mosquitoes. At the moment there are no vaccines or prophylaxis available and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes during the daytime. Keep a mosquito spray or a cream with you all the time as a precaution.

We recommend you take precautions to avoid mosquito bites

We highly recommend that you have adequate travel insurance for your Gilgit Baltistan tour with Trango Adventure Pakistan. We recognize the complexity and variety of choices in the insurance market and know that many of you either have your preferred insurer or have an annual multi-trip cover in place already. If this is the case, please ensure that your insurer is aware of your Trango Adventure itinerary and can agree to cover the activities being undertaken. Trango Adventure does not provide any advice on travel insurance, although it is highly recommended that you have travel insurance which covers the activities which you are likely to be undertaking on your holiday.

TOUR GUIDE & S UPPORTING STAFF

The Gilgit Baltistan tour will be led by an experienced Mountain/Culture Guide. During the tour, the group will be accompanied by a full support crew.

The Gilgit Baltistan tour involves going to high altitudes. During your trip, you will be above 2,200 meters for 1-2 days. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but we must follow some simple rules to acclimatise successfully. Before joining the Gilgit Baltistan tour, you should get some basic advice on tours at high altitudes.

From mid-June to August, we can expect to encounter temperatures as high as 38°C at Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Chilas, and 30°C in The Gilgit Baltistan region. Weather is usually good in Gilgit Baltistan throughout the spring, summer and autumn, with blue skies. However, weather in these mountain valleys is difficult to predict, and short-lived storms can occur at any time.

Tour Northern Pakistan: 10 Bucket-List Worthy Experiences

• Stay at Khaplu Palace, a historic fort turned 3-star hotel in Northern Pakistan that showcases stunning architecture influenced by different regions in Asia.
• Swim in Attabad Lake, a vibrant blue lake in Gilgit-Baltistan province that offers swimming, boating, and other water sports during the summer months.
• Hike to K2 Base Camp, a challenging but rewarding trek close to Nepal, where travelers can experience the second-tallest mountain on Earth and prepare for a scenic and difficult adventure.

There's no lack of amazing things to do in Pakistan, one of the most underrated destinations in Asia and a part of the world often overlooked by backpackers exploring South Asian countries, but it deserves a spot on everyone’s bucket list. Northern Pakistan, in particular, has lots to offer travelers in terms of outdoor adventures and beautiful scenery.

These incredible experiences in Northern Pakistan, specifically in the province of Gilgit-Baltistan, are worth adding to the bucket list.

Stay At Khaplu Palace

This historic fort from the 1840s is one of the best remaining examples of a royal residence in Pakistan. Today, it not only serves as a beautiful historical site in the north of the country but also offers overnight accommodation to guests as a comfortable 3-star hotel called Serena Khaplu Palace.

The visually stunning architecture of the hotel comes from influences from different regions in Asia, including Tibet, Kashmir, Ladakh, and Central Asia.

• Address: Khaplu Palace, Serena, Chaqchan Rd, Sargiab, Khaplu, 16800

Swim In Attabad Lake

Travelers can add swimming in one of Pakistan’s most beautiful lakes to their bucket list. Attabad Lake, located in Gilgit-Baltistan province, is one of the top attractions in Northern Pakistan; it's a vibrant blue lake suitable for swimming, boating, and other water sports during the summer months.

Pakistan experiences a warm, dry spring from March to May and a hot but wet summer from June to September.

• Address: Gojal, Gilgit−Baltistan, Pakistan

Watch The Sunset In The Safaranga Cold Desert

Located just 20 minutes from Skardu in the province of Gilgit-Baltistan, the Safaranga Cold Desert (also called Skardu Cold Desert) is among the most unique attractions in Pakistan that is bucket-list worthy.

The desert is at an altitude of 7,500 feet above sea level in Shigar. The vast landscape of sand dunes earns the name “cold desert” because of this high altitude, and often the dunes are covered in snow. Witnessing a sunset here is truly magical!

• Address: CP6R+3CP, Shigar, Pakistan

Hike To K2 Base Camp

Most travelers have heard of trekking to Everest Base Camp , but they might not realize that there is an equally challenging and rewarding trek close to Nepal in Northern Pakistan. K2 Mountain is the second-tallest mountain on Earth, after Everest, with a peak of 28,251 feet .

Similar to trekking to Everest Base Camp, travelers can book a guided trek to K2 Base Camp in Pakistan. The journey takes around 14 days from Askhole, and, much like how travelers prepare for the Everest Base Camp trek , it is a scenic but difficult adventure that hikers must ready themselves for well in advance.

Stay At The Shangri-La Resort Skardu

Travelers might’ve heard of the Shangri-La Resort , but the Skardu hotel is something worth adding to the bucket list. This luxury resort calls itself “Heaven on Earth” and is situated on a heart-shaped lake (as if another sign was needed for how incredible it is).

The rooms available range from cottages to villas to suites, all with scenic views of the idyllic landscapes of Northern Pakistan.

• Address: Kachura, Skardu, Pakistan

Visit The Skardu Fort

The Skardu Fort, also called the Kharpocho, is the “King of Forts” and is a bucket-list-worthy attraction to visit in Pakistan.

The historic fortress sits above Skardu city in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan. The fort perches on a mountain 40 meters above the city and is situated on the banks of the Indus River.

• Address: Kharpocho Fort, Chumik Rd, Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

Hike In Deosai National Park

Deosai National Park in northern Pakistan is situated between the Skardu and Gilgit-Baltistan regions. It’s protected by its status as a national park and is dedicated to the conservation of the Himalayan Brown Bear .

The Himalayan Brown Bear is a critically endangered species due to habitat loss, so this expansive protected area where bears can roam safely is an important natural area in Pakistan. Wildlife photographers and trekkers can add this park to their bucket lists.

Tour Baltit Fort

Visiting the Baltit Fort in the Hunza Valley is one of the best things to do in Northern Pakistan for the bucket list. The historic fort is located in Karimabad, close to the border with China, in a remote part of the country. More than 700 years old, the fort was a former palace of the Mir of Hunza.

Travelers can take a guided tour of the fort or simply visit the exterior to take beautiful photos of its architecture.

• Address: 8MG9+7W2, Hunza, Karimabad, Gilgit-Baltistan

See The Hunza Valley

For outdoor enthusiasts, trekkers, and travel photographers, visiting the Hunza Valley in Northern Pakistan is something to aspire to. The valley is picturesque and surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks.

Interestingly, people in the Hunza Valley have longer than average lifespans , largely attributed to their strong immune systems, low rates of disease, and consumption of Vitamin B-17 through natural foods.

Drive The Karakoram Highway

The Karakoram Highway is the Silk Route, a southern part of the famous Silk Roads trading route in Asia. This drive is an important part of the region’s history and is also one of the most scenic road trips in the world .

Today, the N-35 highway connects Pakistan and China along this interesting and storied corridor.
