Northern Pakistan tour FAQs
What is the best time for a Gilgit-Baltistan tour?
April to October. April brings apricot and cherry blossom, June to September is best for Deosai, Fairy Meadows and the high passes, and late October has the autumn colours. Winter trips to Hunza are possible but some roads and passes close.
How many days do I need for Gilgit-Baltistan?
Six to ten days covers Hunza and Skardu together comfortably by road. By air, four or five days is enough for one valley, such as Hunza or Skardu.
Is it better to travel by air or by road?
By air saves two days of driving each way but flights are weather-dependent. By road is more reliable, cheaper, and the Karakoram Highway is a highlight in itself. Many travellers fly one way and drive the other.
How much does a Gilgit-Baltistan tour cost?
