I am somewhat confused about the last two days. The day 10 we stay in a hotel in Islamabad. The day 11 we return to Islamabad to relax in the hotel at the airport.. Is the stay in the hotel incuded? Or is it only a relaxation stay in the lobby?

Your hotel in Islamabad is included. Usually when flight is in the night and there is less waiting, we don't provide in such cases. If there is a long wait, we provide hotel

Is the Indus Valley Civilization Tour route including Islamabad and Taxila or stops at Lahore? What are the best months to travel and price for 1 person with a private room?

We can add Taxila on this tour without any charges. Our prices are for one person.

Is this tour currently operating or would i need others to want this tour before it is granteed. If this is the case do you have tours which are currently operating around this date.

The tours mentioned are 100% Guaranteed, even if there is 1 traveler we operate the tour privately without any additional charges. You can confidently book this tour. It will be hot during those dates, if you want to Tour the Mountains you can look for more options listed by Gypsy Traces & Tours on tourradar.

My trip to and journey through Pakistan was excellent. I started off in Karachi, and was met with a bouquet at the airport by my fantastic guide Azim, and equally fantastic driver Ijaz. Both Azim and Ijaz were my constant companions for the entirety of the trip, which ended in Islamabad. Azim was detailed oriented and supremely knowledgeable, taking care of everything in a very professional way. Ijaz was the most careful driver, and kept us safe through different types of terrains, roads, traffic and weather conditions. I am grateful to both of them for their professionalism and friendship. The tour itself was excellently curated. It was everything I expected and more. I experienced, shrines, mosques, temples, museums, archeological sites, markets, villages, towns, cities and the countryside. It was a full experience, and one of the most memorable I have had.Show more

We just completed an amazing tour of Indus Valley Civilisation in Pakistan. We immensely enjoyed and learnt the history, culture, and civilisation dating from 5000 BC to current period. Gypsy travel kept us safe and happy all through. Their staff particulary, Baksh and Azim were dedicated, well informed and delivered their service with a smile. They employed the right local guides whereever necessary. As all our meals were included, we had a great variety of local food experience. The food places were clean and portions were sumptuous.Show more

I recently had the opportunity to explore the Indus Valley Civilization with Gypsy Trace and Tours, and it was an excellent experience. The tour company provided exceptional facilities, including knowledgeable guides, comfortable transportation, and well-planned itineraries that made the journey seamless and enjoyable. The visit to the Indus Valley Civilization sites was truly fascinating. The well-preserved ruins of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa offered an incredible glimpse into one of the world's earliest urban civilizations. The guides provided insightful historical context, making the ancient structures come alive with their stories. Facilities provided by Gypsy Trace and Tours included modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay and easy access to the archaeological sites. Their attention to detail and customer service were top-notch. For anyone interested in ancient history and archaeology, this tour is a must-visit. The blend of historical intrigue and well-organized travel makes it a standout experience.Show more

  I know there is a Karachi tour included. But I am sure there are many things to do/see in Karachi and I wanted to avoid duplication. I am very flexible too. Are you suggesting moving the entire tour up by one day?? I did not expectd that much of a flexibility..
