About this tour

This exciting trio of Karakorum, Himalaya, and Hindukush runs along mountain serpentine roads, with a large number of high mountain passes. We will spend the night in simple hotels, lodges and tents. The food is quite monotonous. It will be hot and dusty.

Before deciding to come to Pakistan, each of you must understand that here you will not be “tourists”, here you will be a guest. Here you go to dispel your own stereotypes and myths about this country.

Now for the goals of our expedition! In Northern Pakistan, different and absolutely different landscapes are collected. It is amazing that on such a small piece of our planet almost all the highest mountains of our vast world are collected. We will see the icy, sparkling Nanga Parbat (8125 m), we will meet the sunset while admiring its reflection in the lake. Let’s touch the sky-blue, transparent and incredibly tasty water of the lakes and channels of Pakistan. We will visit the ancient forts, which are more than 1000 years old. We will see the vanishing point of the 3 most majestic mountain ranges in the world: Gindokush (Afghanistan) Karakoram (Pakistan) and the Himalayas (India), go to the protected area of ​​the Deosai Plateau, which occupies a special place on our list of spectacular places in Pakistan. Deosai is translated from the local language as “summer home” and is the second largest plateau in the world after Chang Tang in Tibet. In the valley of the Hunza River, we will capture the rocky road of the Silk Road. Let’s take a photo of a huge number of the most beautiful and unusual, absolutely cosmic mountain landscapes, which we will begin to miss, not yet parting.
