Trek among the towering rock walls and lush valley floors of Northern Pakistan’s Karakoram Range and Nangma Valley. The Baltistan region, sometimes known as Little Tibet, is a mountaineer’s paradise. Spend four days trekking along well-marked and relatively easy trails that cross glacial streams running through vibrant pastures and camp under the stars.

Pakistan, its mountains, and its people are more beautiful than I could have imagined. The trip was so well organised and felt so safe. Out of the 14 countries I visited on my trip, Pakistan is the absolute highlight, and I am already organising my return!

I fell in love with Pakistan during this trip. Initially going for the beautiful landscape, I was welcomed by a fantastic culture, amazing people and a rich history. Our tour leader, Muneer Alam, made us extremely comfortable and safe throughout the whole trip.
Cannot wait to go back.

Don't hesitate to go to Pakistan. Trekking area is not highly trafficked and very scenic. Trekking staff was wonderful and did a great job setting up camp and preparing food. There are multiple options for additional hikes in the afternoon and free day that can be selected based upon individual goals.

Pakistan is now my favourite country after this trip and can’t stop recommending it to everyone I know. Breathtaking scenery, the most warm & kind people, unbeatable trekking, great food. Thank you to guides Muneer and Naseem who had huge smiles every day and not only gave us trekking guidance but educated us on cultural customs, history, language, geography and so much more. Felt incredibly safe in their hands.

This trip is incredible. The trek itself is gorgeous, the cultural parts of the trip are fascinating and inspiring, and the guide Muneer makes it all even more special. Pakistan truly is an undeveloped wonder and all travelers should be exploring it before it gets too crowded.

Pakistan is an undiscovered gem! The people are friendly and curious. The food is delicious. The mountains are absolutely stunning. But the best part of our Pakistan tour was the incredibly humble, funny and sincere guide Muneer. Do yourself a favor and take a trip with this guy, you will not be disappointed.
