Questions, Answered

May to October is the main season. April brings blossom in Hunza, July and August are best for Deosai and Fairy Meadows, and late October is famous for autumn colours. Winter trips are possible but some high roads close.

Five to six days is comfortable for Hunza or Skardu by air. By road, allow seven to ten days to see both without rushing. Our travel desk can suggest a plan for the time you have.

Gilgit-Baltistan is one of the most welcoming regions in the country and sees many domestic and foreign visitors each year. Our drivers and guides are local, we track road conditions daily and we only run routes we know well.

Yes. Most of our sightseeing tours involve only short walks. Tell us about the group and we will choose hotels, pace and vehicles to suit.

Absolutely. Join a group departure to share costs, or book a private trip with your own car and driver.

Reserve a tour online, or send a custom trip request. We confirm availability, then you pay a 30% deposit to secure your seats. You will receive a booking number to track everything.

The remaining balance is due seven days before departure. You can check what you have paid and what is still due at any time on the Track Booking page.

Bank transfer, online banking and cash at our office. We send a written receipt for every payment.

It depends on how close to departure you cancel; the full scale is in our Terms & Cancellation page. If we cancel for safety reasons, you choose between new dates or a refund.

Accommodation, private transport with driver, breakfast and dinner, a guide and the entry tickets listed on each tour page. Every package shows exactly what is and is not included.

Sometimes. Mountain flights only operate in clear weather. We build in a buffer and, if needed, switch you to a private car so the trip continues.

Main towns such as Gilgit, Karimabad and Skardu have mobile data. Coverage is patchy or absent at Deosai, Fairy Meadows and on some high passes.

Most stays are between 2,000 and 3,000 metres, which few people notice. Deosai and Khunjerab are higher; we visit them as day trips and advise going slowly and drinking plenty of water.

Layers: even summer nights are cool. Bring comfortable walking shoes, a warm jacket, sunscreen, sunglasses, a power bank and some cash, as card machines are rare outside towns.

Pakistani citizens need only their CNIC. Foreign visitors need a valid visa and passport; some border areas require extra paperwork, which we arrange where needed.
