What people love about Pakistan Tours
I would like to take this opportunity to give you guys a brief review of our trip to Hunza. This was not a holiday but a journey. The arrangements put in place by Exploria were fantastic. Every hotel we stayed at was brilliant. Asif (guide) is an asset to your organisation, his mannerism and demeanour were professional yet friendly. He made the entire trip memorable with his knowledge and skills. As a well travelled family, this is by far our favourite and most memorable trip. It was brilliantly organised and delivered. I can wholeheartedly say we are struggling to come up with our top 10 moments as there are so many lovely moments to choose from. Particularly, we absolutely loved and cherished the trip to Fairymeadows. There are so many memories we made and unbelievable moments we experienced, such as stargazing on the first night, the view of Nangaparpat in the morning, the hike to basecamp, the horse rides, and hikes. The trip to Hunza was equally fanatastic and memorable. The friendliness of the people of Hunza is something we have never experienced anywhere in the world. Their honesty, warmth, and above all the beauty. The trip to the forts, eaglesnest, passu cones, attabad lake, khabour track, hopper glacier, the list goes on.
Hunza Valley and Nanga Parbat Base Camp Tour 2025 and 2026
- Explore Hunza and Skardu - Northern Pakistan tour
Together with my girlfriend we travel from Uruguay to Pakistan by mid May through Exploria.pk. Our tour started in Islamabad and included Fairy Meadows (incredible place and landscapes), Hunza and all arround, Lahore and back to Islamabad. We did more than 3000 km going from -0 temperaturas to more than 40grades. We made the majority of the tour by car with a team of guide (Farman) and driver (Bilal) that performed perfectly, giving us assistance in every thing we needed and beyond, showing us how the deepper Pakistan is, telling how people is including the possibility to meet local people and listen folk music among other things as making possible to experience local food. We are more than happy to have discovered Pakistan and break the myths occidental people have about such an amazing country. We hope to be back sooner than later! Thanks Exploria who made all arrangements as per our request with very nice and comfortable locations. Thanks Farman and Bilal, we will always remember with a smile on our faces the days with you guys.
- Skardu & Hunza Autumn Experience
Had fantastic time in Peshawar and Hunza with Sultan and Hassan. I highly recommend. They are great guys and make you feel like part of their family. Plus Hunza in winter is spectacular!!!

The Himalayas offer some of the world's most rewarding treks, and TourRadar travelers keep telling us about how these journeys changed their perspective. The Everest Base Camp Trek lets you follow the same paths as history's great climbers, with Mt. Everest right there in front of you. Our customers particularly enjoy spotting the wide mountain views across the Annapurna Range, and many say reaching Thorong La pass gives them a real sense of personal achievement. The experience goes deeper than just walking though - you'll find yourself in remote villages where life moves at its own pace, meet local families and discover ancient traditions. The spiritual atmosphere around Pashupatinath Temple adds another layer to the journey. What stands out in our travelers' stories isn't just the mountains, but the genuine connections they make with Sherpa communities and the quiet moments spent in Buddhist monasteries along the way.
See all Himalaya Mountains toursThe Golden Triangle in Northern India brings together fascinating ancient cultures and grand imperial heritage in ways that really captivate visitors. The Taj Mahal catches the early morning light in a special way - our travelers often tell us how the white marble takes on an almost otherworldly glow that photographers can't get enough of. Up in Rishikesh, there's a different kind of magic where the Ganges runs in distinct milky blue waters, creating just the right setting for yoga and meditation. What makes these trips work so well is our local guides who know how to bring the history alive - they'll point out the fine details in Mughal buildings and explain age-old traditions while our experienced drivers handle the lively street scenes. For the most comfortable exploring conditions, plan your visit between October and March when it's cool and dry - perfect timing for seeing the decorated palaces and joining in the vibrant local festivals.

Travel Pakistan your way
For trekking enthusiasts, our most popular routes explore the Karakoram and Hunza regions, with the Nanga Parbat Base Camp trek standing out as a genuine mountain experience. The trek takes you through Fairy Meadows to reach 3,800m at base camp, with our travelers particularly loving the evening campfires and local dance performances along the way. Another excellent option follows the ancient trading paths through Nangma Valley, where you'll camp at 4,500m near Amin Brakk and connect with Balti shepherds. The Hunza Valley treks incorporate cultural stops at centuries-old forts like Baltit and Altit, while giving you close-up views of the Passu Cones. Our customers especially value the flexible pacing - you can choose between challenging high-altitude routes and gentler valley walks depending on your experience level.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursThe adventure tours through northern Pakistan combine cultural immersion with active exploration. Multi-day journeys along the Karakoram Highway put you face-to-face with 7,000m peaks like Rakaposhi, while letting you stay in remote villages like Passu and Shimshal. Our travelers consistently mention how much they enjoy meeting local families - you might find yourself picking apricots, learning to make traditional soups or watching carpet weaving in action. For photography enthusiasts, the routes through Skardu and Deosai Plains offer chances to capture high-altitude lakes and sweeping mountain panoramas. The more challenging itineraries include 4x4 drives to places like Naltar Valley with its turquoise lakes and opportunities to spot snow leopards in protected areas. What makes these tours special is the mix of cultural experiences with active elements - one day you're crossing the Hussaini suspension bridge, the next you're learning about centuries-old traditions in a mountain village.
See all Active toursOur popular explorer tours in northern Pakistan center on the Hunza Valley and Karakoram Mountains, where you'll find a perfect blend of culture and natural beauty. The itinerary takes you through Baltit Fort and across the rather hair-raising Hussaini Suspension Bridge, with a stop to catch the sunset from Duikar viewpoint. What really sets these trips apart are the genuine local moments - you'll cook dawdo soup with families in their homes, pick fresh apricots right off the trees when they're in season and explore quiet village backstreets. Our French and English-speaking guests often tell us how much they appreciate having local guides who take them beyond the standard tourist stops for tea and pakoras in hidden corners of the villages.

Best tour companies for Pakistan tours
From what our travelers tell us, three companies stand out for exploring Pakistan's northern regions. Exploria gets consistently good feedback for their guided trips through the Hunza Valley and Karakoram Mountains - their local guides really know the territory and help visitors connect with local communities in meaningful ways. Gypsy Traces & Tours has built a solid reputation with their Fairy Meadows and Premium Pakistan packages. Their team is quick to respond when needed, picks comfortable places to stay and works with guides who share fascinating stories about the region's past and present. For anyone interested in Gilgit-Baltistan specifically, Crossroads Adventure comes highly recommended by our customers. Two of their guides, Altaf Ahmed and Sultan Uddin, get mentioned often in reviews for going above and beyond - whether it's explaining local customs, finding the best photo spots or making sure everyone's comfortable on long driving days through the mountains. The nice thing about these operators is they all know how to balance showing you the major sights while also taking you to places most visitors never see. They've figured out the logistics of traveling in some pretty remote areas, which lets you focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about the details. [Note: I've maintained the key information while making it flow more naturally and personally, removed problematic words, and integrated specific details in a conversational way]
Best places to start your Pakistan tour
Most of our Pakistan tours start from Islamabad - about 81% of customers begin there. While you can start from Lahore, Karachi and sometimes Hunza Valley or Skardu, Islamabad just works better with all the connections and infrastructure. Looking at our bookings across different seasons, you'll want to lock in your tour about 58 days ahead. This extra time helps us sort out alternatives if mountain weather affects flights. It's smart to build in some wiggle room at the start of your trip and pack some snacks for the longer drives. Our travelers particularly love visiting in spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when temperatures are mild and mountain views are really clear. The Hunza Valley is especially nice these times of year - you'll catch either the apricot trees in full bloom or rich autumn colors, depending on when you go.
Discover Pakistan tours for every budget
Our budget-friendly Pakistan tours take you through the heart of the north in 7-10 days, hitting the must-sees without breaking the bank. You'll explore Hunza Valley and Fairy Meadows, walk up to Baltit Fort and catch sunrise from Duikar viewpoint. Our travelers love connecting with local families in Karimabad and taking boat rides on Attabad Lake - the water really is that incredible turquoise color you see in photos. The hotels are simple but clean, and most have fantastic mountain views right from your window. We've mapped out routes that include crossing the famous Hussaini bridge and driving up to Khunjerab Pass, keeping everything affordable while making sure you don't miss the good stuff.
The luxury options run 10-14 days and combine the capital Islamabad with mountain regions like Hunza, Skardu and Gilgit-Baltistan. You'll stay at the 5-star Serena in Islamabad and carefully picked boutique hotels up north. What makes these tours special are the little extras - having dinner in local homes, watching private cultural shows at camp and visiting organic gardens at places like Khaplu Fort. Our clients really appreciate being able to mix things up - maybe do a trek toward Nanga Parbat one day and take a scenic flight over the Karakorams the next. The guides know exactly where to take you for both the main sites and those quiet spots tourists usually miss.

Down in southern Pakistan, another popular route takes groups from the coastal energy of Karachi through desert landscapes, leading to the impressive Derawar Fort. Our customers tell us they love how these journeys mix structured visits to major landmarks with spontaneous cultural moments, like sharing meals in family homes or stumbling upon local music performances. Tour guides earn particular praise for combining their deep knowledge of history with an ability to help groups discover hidden corners of old bazaars and also remote desert strongholds.
Small Group

The intimate size makes genuine local connections possible - you'll cook traditional dawdo soup in family homes, spend time with shepherds in remote Shimshal village, and set up camp beneath starlit skies at 4,500m in Nangma Valley. Cultural journeys through Hunza blend visits to ancient fortresses like Baltit and Altit with nights in handpicked hotels, adapting the pace to what interests each group most. Photography fans tell us the small numbers mean they can linger at spots like Passu Glacier, Attabad Lake and other prime locations. When we camp in places like Mingulo Broq, local Balti musicians share their traditional performances, while challenging treks take you to the bases of peaks like Amin Brakk. Our French and English-speaking guests often mention how their guides introduced them to hidden village corners, sharing tea and pakoras with residents. Each day mixes active experiences like crossing the Hussaini suspension bridge with cultural moments - from helping locals harvest apricots to hiking up to sweeping viewpoints above the Hunza Valley.

Couples really connect with our heritage tours that blend historical sites and mountain scenery. Starting in Karachi, you'll explore the impressive Shah Jahan Mosque, ancient Chaukhandi Tombs and then head north to discover Indus Valley sites.

Our couples often mention how much they enjoy having active days exploring followed by relaxed evenings immersed in local culture.
Young adults tend to pick our active mountain tours that blend trekking with local culture in the Karakoram range. You'll camp under incredibly clear starry skies in Nangma Valley and cross suspension bridges over fast-moving rivers. One night you might join locals for traditional music, the next day you're trekking to a 4,500-meter base camp. Many travelers like starting in Islamabad to get their bearings before heading into the mountains to explore glaciers and remote villages.

The spring tours get you right into local life - you'll cook with families in Hunza, visit the working gardens at Khaplu Fort and catch authentic music shows.

What our customers ask about Pakistan Tours & Trips
What's it really like traveling in Pakistan - is it safe?
Look, while the media can paint a different picture the northern areas especially Gilgit-Baltistan Hunza Skardu and the Karakoram corridor have excellent safety records for international visitors. Francesca who's been traveling for 25 years around the world confirms this and mentions how professional local guides like Fareed who grew up in these areas really make you feel secure. The Hunza Valley stands out - there's practically zero crime and the local communities are incredibly welcoming.
When's the best time to go to Pakistan for different experiences?
Spring from March to May is beautiful with cherry blossoms in Hunza and nice moderate temperatures perfect for exploring the culture. If you're into photography autumn September through November gives you amazing fall colors and super clear mountain views. Summer June to August lets you get up to those high places like Deosai Plains at 4100m and Khunjerab Pass at 4733m though some passes stay snow-covered till late June. Winter turns Naltar Valley into this amazing ski destination and you can see cool stuff like the frozen Attabad Lake. Down south Karachi and Lahore stay pretty comfortable year-round great for checking out Mughal architecture and archaeological sites.
Where can you really connect with local culture beyond the tourist spots?
Head to Ghulkin village in Upper Hunza where you can join in traditional apricot harvesting and learn to make dawdo soup with local families. The ancient village of Ganish is UNESCO-recognized and shows you these incredible centuries-old water systems. Over in Gulmit there's this great Bulbulik Music School where you learn about traditional instruments and a Carpet Center run by local women entrepreneurs. The Kalash Valley's really special - you can experience one of the world's most unique cultural minorities especially during festivals like Chilam Joshi in spring.
How do you get around Pakistan efficiently?
PIA runs daily flights between major cities especially the important Islamabad-Skardu and Islamabad-Gilgit routes though weather can change schedules. The famous Karakoram Highway stretches 1300km from Abbottabad to Kashgar and it's quite an experience. When you're heading to remote spots like Fairy Meadows or Hushe Valley you'll need local 4x4 jeeps especially for tough routes like Raikot Bridge to Tattu Village. Cities have premium transport services for more comfort and Pakistan Railways connects all the major urban areas.
What should travelers know about respecting local culture and customs?
Keep it modest - cover shoulders and knees and local clothes like shalwar kameez work really well for both comfort and cultural respect. Learn some basic Urdu but remember there's regional languages too like Burushaski in Hunza or Balti in Skardu. When you visit someone's home take off your shoes and always accept tea when offered - turning it down isn't great culturally. Always ask before taking photos especially in rural areas and religious places. If you're a female traveler local female guides like Anita from Exploria can really help you understand things better and get access to women-only spaces.
