We had a tour organised based on our requirements. And Ajmal one of the co founders of the company did a fantastic job in accomodating our requirements. As it was early part of the season, some places were still closed. The tour itself was very well organised, throughout. And planned before we even arrived to pakistan. I contacted over 6 companies initially and exploria far exceeded all expectations. We manage to cover nearly all the things on our iternitary. However due to bad weather we and a rearrange a couple of other things. However the reaarengments were even more exciting than what we planned originally. We tasted the local food. Mixed in with the locals too. And enjoyed some great hospitality from everyone. The hotels of choice were amazing in all the locations we stayed at. The guides were english speaking and comminucation was easy. In a very challenging enviroment the exploria team came out with flying colours.

I feel this tour was a great way to start to get to know the 'real' Pakistan. We had a variety of accommodation ranging from good hotels to basic local guesthouses. We were always well looked after in them all. The roads were crazy fantastic which I personally found really interesting. Around every corner was another amazing view. The people were always welcoming and friendly. We got to try a range of local food with the odd 'street food' thrown in if we were interested. The itinerary covered a variety of valleys and towns which also enabled us to learn their history and culture. Our guide Kareem was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job, the Pakistani people and his country so always made sure he passed this information on in an interesting way. Just a word of warning, if you don't enjoy road trips (a couple of long days), are not adaptable or not into 'local' maybe Pakistan is not for you. But if you enjoy amazing scenery, immersing yourself into local life, crazy roads, learning a new culture, being adaptable then Pakistan is definitely for you. I think Exploria have put together a good tour to give you the best in a short time.

What our customers ask about Adventure Tours & Trips in Pakistan
When is the best time to go on an Adventure tour in Pakistan?
The prime season runs from June to September when mountain conditions are most reliable. The Hunza Valley and Karakoram region provide ideal settings for outdoor activities with temperatures between 15-25°C. A TourRadar traveler noted: "We got to explore the northern Hunza region Skardu Fairy Meadows and more with epic mountains and the best weather conditions." It's best to avoid winter travel as high passes like Khunjerab (4733m) close due to heavy snowfall.
What are the must-see highlights of a Pakistan Adventure tour?
The main attractions include K2 Base Camp treks the historic Baltit and Altit forts in Hunza Valley the Hussaini suspension bridge and Baltoro Glacier expeditions. Visitors can explore notable spots like Fairy Meadows Nanga Parbat Base Camp and Concordia. As one traveler shared: "The views at Concordia were breathtaking - standing within 24km of four 8000m peaks including K2 Broad Peak and the Gasherbrums is an experience of a lifetime."
What fitness level do I need for a Pakistan Adventure tour?
Tours need moderate to high fitness depending on your chosen route. Treks to Nangma Valley (3950m) or K2 Base Camp (5150m) demand 6-8 hours of daily hiking on difficult terrain. The Serena Hotel in Hunza Valley provides a good starting point at 2500m for altitude adjustment. A recent review states: "This is a strenuous but rewarding trek with about 10-12 hours of walking on rough glacial terrain with at least 600 metres of ascent and descent."
What are the accommodation options on Pakistan Adventure tours?
Lodging ranges from upscale city hotels to remote camping sites. Visitors stay in luxury properties like the 5-star Islamabad Serena Hotel while mountain areas offer basic guesthouses and camping facilities. Multi-day treks such as K2 Base Camp use two-person alpine tents at designated spots. One traveler noted: "The camping experience was amazing - from basic camp at Jhola (3100m) to the spectacular Concordia camp (4500m) surrounded by four 8000m peaks."
How much does a typical Pakistan Adventure tour cost?
Prices range from 2000 USD to 4900 USD based on length and activities. A 15-day Pakistan Expedition costs about 4908 USD while an 11-day Hunza trek runs around 2150 USD. These rates typically cover lodging meals transport guides and permits. According to feedback: "The value for money was excellent considering the remote locations quality of guides and full-service camping arrangements included."
What kind of transportation is used during Pakistan Adventure tours?
Travel combines standard vehicles on highways with 4x4 jeeps in mountain areas. Tours usually start with flights from Islamabad to Skardu followed by jeep rides to remote starting points like Askole or Jhola. Some routes involve crossing suspension bridges. One review mentions: "The 4x4 journey from Hunza to Shimshal Valley was an adventure itself traveling on roads built by local communities through incredibly remote terrain."
