      The tour to Hunza, Skardu, and Nanga Parbat base camp is one of the best tours to experience the best of Northern Pakistan. I am here to help you out in answering your questions regarding the security situation. However, there are no security issues at any point during the tour.

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      I have not heard back yet on the cost of meals issue and if sufficient other bookings have been made in September to make this unnecessary.

    • ExploriaOperatorWritten February 2025

      The tour is marked as a guaranteed departure with a minimum of 02 bookings. So it will be a confirmed departure if you book. According to our policy, meals will be complimentary if we receive a minimum of 04 bookings. In the worst case, if even you had to pay for the meals, it could be managed in as little as USD 200 for the two of you.
