    I had the most amazing time travelling to Pakistan with Exploria! The owners, Ajmal and Arif, went out of their way both in organising the perfect tour for us, as well as both meeting us personally during the three weeks. With our personal guide Karim, we got to see so much of what the country has to offer, way more than we probably would have by ourselves. Epic mountains, the best food, and the most hospital people are of course some of the highlights. We got to explore the northern Hunza region, Skardu, Fairy Meadows, Gilgit, Swat valley, Islamabad, Lahore and more! One thing I really appreciated with Exploria (which I haven't experiences with other tour companies) is that there was a lot of flexibility in the itinerary, and we got to make a lot of decisions as to what we wanted to see that we otherwise maybe wouldn't have. This speaks volumes to the company that they are, as they are not just trying, but truly succeeding, in making their customers have the very best experience possible in Pakistan. I also want to mention for anyone hesitant about safety (as I was haha): I did not have a single scare/unsafe experience during my trip, nor did I see/speak to anyone who did. I am a young, solo, woman, and truly felt as respected and taken care of as in any other country. Maybe even more so with the incredible hospitality of the people there. Thank you Ajmal, Karim and Arif for making the Pakistan my new favourite country. I'll be back
