      Traveler•Written August 2024

      The price is too much for me at this time. I am still interested in a tour to Pakistan and Hunza Valley but some time in the future.

    • Hunza ExplorersOperator•Written August 2024

      You can join our fixed departure tour starting in Islamabad on October 25. It is a 9-day tour that will end in Islamabad. The price for this tour is reasonable, and we have seats available only for October 25.

    Is the date correct? I would have guessed that the pass is closed due to snow by then?
