Itinerary
Touch down in Pakistan's capital. Your guide meets you at the airport, transfers you to your hotel and gives you the evening to settle in. Overnight stay in Islamabad.
A scenic drive north as the Karakoram Highway begins to reveal the first mountain ridges and forested valleys. Brief stops en route. Arrive in Besham or Naran by evening. Overnight stay.
Early morning departure deeper into the mountains via the KKH. The road traces the Indus River through dramatic gorges with scenic stops along the way. Arrive in Gilgit by evening — the crossroads of three great mountain ranges. Overnight stay in Gilgit.
Drive into Hunza Valley with commanding views of Rakaposhi filling the horizon. Visit Altit Fort and Baltit Fort, two of Pakistan's most significant heritage landmarks. Explore Karimabad Bazaar for local crafts, dried fruits and Hunzai culture. End the day at Eagle's Nest for a sunset that stretches across the full breadth of the Hunza and Nagar valleys. Overnight stay in Hunza.
Head up to Upper Hunza for a day of extraordinary scenery. Visit the vivid turquoise Attabad Lake with optional boating on the water. Walk the famous Hussaini Suspension Bridge, one of the most photographed bridges in Pakistan. Stand below the jagged spires of Passu Cones rising straight from the valley floor. Stop at the peaceful Borith Lake and the traditional Khyber Village. Overnight stay in Hunza.
A full day excursion into Hopper Valley, one of Hunza's most rewarding off-the-beaten-track destinations. The valley sits beneath the Hopper and Bualtar glaciers, offering up-close views of the ice and the raw mountain scenery surrounding it. Spend the afternoon at your own pace before returning to Gilgit for overnight stay.
Begin the return journey south through the KKH with scenic stops along the way. Arrive in Besham or Naran by evening. Overnight stay.
Drive back to Islamabad with an optional stop at Khanpur Lake for a final breath of outdoor Pakistan. Transfer to Islamabad Airport for departure. Tour ends.
