Are bicycles available to hire? If so what types of bikes are they and how much would that cost?

Yes, the bikes are available for rent, but they are not the latest models, but used old model bikes. Some of the models are Giant Roam 4, Endavour, etc. The cost will be around USD 40 per day.

i want to cycle the karakoram highway route, i saw you organise a grouptraveling between may 18 and june 1st. how much is the price if i take hotelrooms not chared ? what is included in the price ?

The cost of the tour is 2900, which is an all-inclusive package. However, the cost of the tour will increase to 3500 if we offer it on a private basis. Note that we can exclude the accommodation only in the case of a private tour. The private tour can be fully customized like we can reduce the duration or offer it in your proposed budget as well.

Can you give me an idea of the intensity and distance of the cycling? Also, any problems for Americans going for visas or anything else?

This is a specially designed tour to explore the beautiful Karakoram range. The total distance is around 550 km and is easy for a cyclist. This could be challenging for travelers with special medical conditions as you will be cycling from an altitude of 1500m to 4694m. No problems for the US citizens. You will be needing a letter of invitation from our company to visit Pakistan which is an easy process.

Although I’m usually more of a solo traveler, when my group of friends started organising this trip with Exploria, it was difficult to say no. I already felt welcomed by the owners months before the trip even began, and the trip itself was truly one in a million. I highly recommend this experience, we got to enjoy an authentic Pakistani experience: not only its breathtaking landscapes, but also its warm and welcoming people. Our team (Salim, Asif, and Rehman) went above and beyond, helping with everything possible (and even impossible!) with the best sense of humor and endless patience 😅. They blended so naturally into our group that it felt as if we had known each other forever. I loved Pakistan, and I’ll definitely be back soon 🙌Show more

Our trip to Pakistan far exceeded all expectations. The team at Exploria Tours was incredibly attentive, patient, and professional throughout the journey. They were truly passionate about sharing the breathtaking beauty of Northern Pakistan with us. We covered an amazing itinerary, including: Skardu and the Marsur Rock hike. The stunning Hunza Valley. Fairy Meadows, with hikes to both Rakaposhi Base Camp and Nanga Parbat Base Camp. A huge shout-out to Saleem the content creator, Asif Nawaz, and our fantastic driver, Rehman, for taking such great care of us. I will definitely be returning in the coming years to tackle the K2 Base Camp trek with them. Highly recommended!Show more

I chose Exploria to introduce my beautiful country to my European friends we were 8 people in total and they delivered from start to finish. The entire Exploria team was incredibly helpful with all our questions and every detail. We enjoyed a two-week tour that included Skardu, Islamabad, Hunza, Rakaposhi, Fairy Meadows, and Nanga Parbat Base Camp. Everything went flawlessly. I highly recommend Exploria to anyone looking for a professional and experienced travel companyShow more

  Traveler•Written December 2022
  Thanks, Ajmal- one other question. Does the letter of invitation allow the participant to arrive in Pakistan without a visa, or to obtain one on arrival?
- ExploriaOperator•Written December 2022
  A letter of invitation is a mandatory procedure to acquire a tourist visa to Pakistan. A letter of invitation is complimentary when the tour is booked with us.
