About This Tour

A 20-day private journey from Lahore's museums and forts through Peshawar and Swat's Buddhist sites, the Kalash Valley, Hunza's centuries-old forts, Fairy Meadows beneath Nanga Parbat, and the Skardu valleys, ending in Islamabad. This trip includes one domestic flight, from the north back to Islamabad on day 18 — a realistic way to close the loop after two weeks in the Karakoram — alongside your private driver and vehicle for every ground-transport day.
