About
This is a trip for people who want to see the real face of northern Pakistan. Spectacular roads, mountain treks, glaciers, historic forts and some of the most beautiful valleys in the Karakoram. We stand below Nanga Parbat and Rakaposhi, visit legendary Hunza, and find out why Pakistan is increasingly called one of the most underrated mountain destinations in the world.
As always we travel in a small group, with the emphasis on authentic experiences and good company. The trip combines two treks with nights under canvas and an overland section through the Hunza and Baltistan valleys: good fitness is required, along with the willingness to walk 7–8 hours in high-mountain terrain.
