As a solo female traveler who has visited over 50 countries, finding a trekking company that delivers a pure, hiking-focused itinerary can be challenging. I specifically wanted an active trip combining Patundas Meadows and Rakaposhi Base Camp, and Exploria absolutely exceeded every expectation from day one. Communication before booking with Amjad and Arif was phenomenal - they were instantly responsive, reassuring and put all my pre-trip concerns to rest. Once on the ground in Pakistan, the level of personalized care was unmatched. I was paired with Aftab, a wonderful guide who went above and beyond, even inviting me to his family's wedding to ensure I felt completely welcome and safe. On the trekking days, my constant companion was Jalal - an absolute superstar who served as my specialist cook, guide, and porter all in one! He handled my specific dietary needs flawlessly, cooking exceptionally clean meals while lugging gear up the mountain. They curated a strictly active adventure tailored to my pace, featuring incredible highlights like tackling the challenging Passu Glacier crossing, exploring Patundas Meadows, adding thoughtful walks through Hunza, and even hitting Rakaposhi base camp twice! To wrap it all up, Majid ensured my final days in Islamabad were completely seamless and secure. Between Amjad, Arif, Aftab, Jalal and Majid, Exploria delivered a world-class adventure. If you want a raw, authentic and meticulously tailored mountain expedition in Pakistan, they are the absolute gold standard. I would use them again in a heartbeat!Show more
