Overview

An immersive journey through two of northern Pakistan's most spectacular valleys. This tour pairs the dramatic landscapes and ancient culture of Hunza with the serene alpine meadows and rainbow lakes of Naltar โ€” taking in Attabad Lake, the Passu Cones, the centuries-old Baltit and Altit Forts, and the mountain viewpoints of the Karakoram Highway.

The itinerary balances big sightseeing days with leisure time, and every departure is fully guided โ€” round-trip transport, hotels, breakfasts and dinners are all handled, so you just show up and explore. Departures run twice a week from both Islamabad and Lahore.
