If you're thinking about visiting Pakistan, I can highly recommend Sultan and Crossroads Adventure. I spent two weeks in Pakistan, together with my partner, and it was an amazing holiday. Everything was very well organised by Sultan. We got picked up at the airport when we arrived in the middle of the night, had a great city tour of Islamabad and went to Gilgit-Baltistan the next day. Northern Pakistan, with its high mountains and lush valleys, is incredibly beautiful. Plus, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The highlight of our trip was a homestay with Sultan's family, where we got a deeper insight into life in Pakistan. His family was very nice, and we loved our time there. We even got to participate in a Pakistani wedding on one of the days! As we had booked a private tour, Sultan was very flexible. When we mentioned how much we loved the colourful trucks in Pakistan, he arranged for us to visit a truck workshop in Islamabad on our last day. It was amazing! Thank you so much to Sultan and Crossroads Adventure for this incredible tour!Show more

I just finished a 12 day tour to Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan with Crossroads Adventure. My guide was Sultan, the owner of the company. this was my first visit to Pakistan, I have been to 163 other countries and it was time now to visit Pakistan. The tour far exceeded my expectations. I am an avid photographer with interest in nature, culture, history and people. This tour was more than perfect. The snowy mountains, glaciers, rushing rivers, waterfalls, was just fantastic. With Sultan there was no rush, I could stop anywhere to take a picture of an exceptional view and i did often. We rode 4x4 Jeeps on incredible mountain tracks, horses, did kicking, it was a dream destination. Best of all Sultan and his family are mountain people from the area, I was able with his help interact with many natives, take close up shots and have great conversations. A highlight was visiting with his family in a number of the family homes including his father, mom, brothers, sisters and wife. They hosted me to several delicious home made meals, they are most gracious hosts. Safety was excellent, I never felt uncomfortable anywhere on the tour. The SUV we rode was very comfortable and his brother Abu El Hassan was an exceptional driver. Foods was great, and the hotels we stayed at were all acceptable given the remoteness of the area. Wifi in Islamabad was fantastic, else where it was obviously slow but most places had it. We also visited the fascinating historical city of Peshawar. I traveled during the COVID 19 problem, and we were quite safe and Sultan helped me get the test for my return flight. Ok, that was the only single negative event on the trip, i.e. the negative diagnoses and I was glad for that. In summary, I most highly recommend Sultan and his company for any tailor made tours of Pakistan, you can’t find a more flexible, reliable, considerate, caring guide than Sultan. I was most impressed and appreciative of his great service. Adel Zakaria, Boca Raton, Florida, USA.Show more
