About
Pakistan in a single trip? Eight-thousand-metre peaks, turquoise lakes, deserts hidden between the summits and the crowded streets of Lahore. Over 12 days we uncover the country’s different faces — we reach Fairy Meadows at the foot of Nanga Parbat, drive the legendary Karakoram Highway, get to know the Hunza valley and see the extraordinary landscapes of Skardu.
We finish in Lahore, where history, architecture and local food are waiting. This is for people who want not only to see the Karakoram on one journey, but to really feel how varied Pakistan is.
Note: the Skardu to Islamabad flight depends on the weather. If it is cancelled, we travel overland via Naran or Besham and the rest of the programme is adjusted accordingly.
