Visiting Pakistan is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially the northern region known as Gilgit-Baltistan. It is surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains, deep-colored rivers, serene lakes, and massive glaciers, making it one of the best destinations for nature lovers and adventure seekers. In the north, you will explore the stunning landscapes of Gilgit, Nagar, and the iconic Hunza Valley. The tour also includes a three-day trekking or horse-riding journey to Fairy Meadows, located at the foot of the mighty Nanga Parbat (8,126 m), the second-highest mountain in Pakistan and the ninth-highest in the world. Additionally, you will travel through the Karakoram Mountains to reach the Khunjerab Pass (Pakistan–China border), located at 4,700 meters. It is known as the highest international border crossing and marks the end of the Karakoram Highway (887 km) within Pakistan.
