Beautiful landscape, very well tailored program, guide and driver with good knowledge of the area what enhanced our experience there and both english speaking, very good hotels. Additionally Crossroads Adventures organized a tour at Lahore and region what was another very good experience visiting almost all historical sites, bazaars, the modern area and the traditional show at the border Pakistan / India.

    When a trip to Pakistan was first suggested to me, I was not very interested. However, I must admit that the expedition turned out to be one of the most exuberant and exciting trips of my life. Breathtaking landscapes were shown to me by very experienced tour guides, who led me safely and efficiently throughout that wonderful country. I felt at home among the kind people who received me joyously and respectfully. I truly want to return to Pakistan, where the mountains touch the sky and the people have touched my heart. Many thanks to Sultan from Crossroads Adventure , its staff and the guides Murad and Nawaz, who made this adventure unforgettable.

    Sultan is such an amazing and friendly character. He gave us an incredible week of our lives, showed us all around and told us all about the history of his people and the areas. I would strongly recommend anyone to skip the other tour guides that are there, and go with Sultan; for a true 'authentic' experience.

    We have gained more insight into the different cultures of Pakistan. Our guide tried his best to answer all our questions & made us feel very welcome. We started our journey in Islamabad, then proceeded along the Karakorum Highway towards the Chinese border (Khunjerab Pass). We had chai & biscuits with local game keepers whose hospitality was moving. As an added bonus, the open fire provided some much needed warmth in an otherwise harsh climate. We have many fond memories of Pakistan, especially from the Hunza Valley.

    · August 28th, 2023
    Have you ever been inspired to visit a far away place for the first time, and have an inkling that it was was going to be great trip? I have and Pakistan absolutely blew my mind! I came across this tour company Called Crossroads Adventure in my search for a trekking experience that might be able to emulate the the euphoric summiting of Mount Kilimanjaro the summer before. After some Youtube searching I found a video by Bags Packed Family who ran into a similar issue with the month of June being during monsoon season. In their video they chronicled their journey to a place called Fairy Meadows. I was in awe of the beauty of the breathtaking landscape, and the the excitement of the perceived challenges to get there, and so began the initiating first steps toward making the trip a reality. Sultan the owner and operator of Crossroads Adventure, seemed like my best bet to actually get to my desired adventure. The information on the website was very organized and detailed, and the pictures that I saw with some of the reviews left me wanting to have the same type of experience that I was seeing. I opted to put down a deposit, and then soon after paid the balance It was all systems go for me. Every step of the way, it was very apparent to me that Sultan was very passionate about the tour and making sure the tour the most amazing experience of my life, this made me feel very confident about booking a tour with a relative stranger. On the flight to Islamabad, Pakistan I quickly got my first first taste of Pakistani hospitality, As I was engaged in conversation with people around me , who all demonstrated the same genuine authenticity and next level hospitality that you will find throughout Pakistan. Some people even offering me snacks, and inviting me to stay at their home ,if I had time on my tour. The level of what I perceived as genuineness was very pleasantly surprising, especially as I was repeatedly assured I was their guest. The feeling I received from the people of Pakistan was very heartwarming, and something that in all my travels I had not ever experienced first hand to this degree. The day before my official tour with Crossroads Adventure began I took a full day trip to see the highlights of Islamabad, Again everywhere I went I was met with Pakistani hospitality, curiosity, and invitations to go have chai, or lunch or dinner at the relative strangers' homes. At one point I was swarmed by teens and adults wanting to take pictures with with me , and their friends or families. Many of the kind and curious Pakistanis would ask why I came to their country, and followed by asking me if I liked Pakistan. Sometimes I would answer, " no I do not like Pakistan ...I LOVE IT!!!. To which nine out of ten times the response I got a broad smile and the mandate to inform people in the USA that "we love America , and tell every one to come to Pakistan. I could go continue on with more detail, but then I would only rob you of feeling ,the amazing euphoria that you would most probably experience while interacting with the wonderful human beings you will encounter all around you. There are so many great unexpected moments and memories that I had with my exceptional tour guide Nawaz. I learned so much about the country and its people in the ten day journey of enlightenment (Hunza Valley& Fairy Meadows Tour, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. One of the things that I really appreciated about my guide Nawaz, aside from being a veritable oracle of information regarding all things Pakistani, having amazing cinematography skills, and his positive can do vibe, is that he never gave away the amazing surprises that I was going to experience along my guided journey. He left me with the gift of seeing and feeling firsthand the nuances witnessing spectacular and or breathtaking things for the very first time, thus preserving the exhuberance of first encounter. I remember telling Nawaz one time on the hike back from Fairy Meadows that if I died tomorrow it would be with a big smile and a happy heart have seen such mind blowing beauty of nature. Then everyday after that, just when I thought things could not possibly get any better they did, I each day I could not help but to feel a deep sense gratitude. I will leave the gift of surprise for those who are loo looking for that next level transformative experience that you will fondly remember for years to come. This is why my Crossroads Adventure to Pakistan was so EPIC! With gratitude, Rick M.
