This two week tour through the spectacular mountains of northern Pakistan lets the landscape and culture speak for itself. We travel in open top jeeps where possible with experienced local guides, and journey from Islamabad north along the famous Karakorum Highway. Our travels take us through the striking mountain ranges of the Himalaya, Karakorum and Hindu Kush, and at times we leave the main road behind us and take to narrow gravel tracks with jaw dropping vistas. There are several day hikes built into the trip which you can customise depending on your fitness, including several options approaching the Base Camps for the peak of Nanga Parbat. We'll also hike to salty mountain lakes and the Passu Glacier, as well as visiting ancient Forts and religious sites. Accommodation is in comfortable tourist class hotels in Islamabad, but simpler guesthouses and hotels higher up. Nearly all meals are included so you get a taste of the different cuisines as you travel. Don't forget to also try the famous local apricots in the Hunza Valley.
