This northern region is surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, mighty rivers, and vast glaciers, making it a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. This 12-day journey takes you from the capital city of Islamabad to the breathtaking northern valleys. Travel along the legendary Karakoram Highway or optionally fly over the spectacular Hindu Kush and Karakoram ranges. Explore the scenic wonders of Gilgit, Hunza, Nagar, Baltistan, and reach the iconic Khunjerab Pass (4,700 m)—the highest international border crossing in the world and the end of the Karakoram Highway within Pakistan.
