Some destinations are exactly as we imagine them.
Others surprise us from the very first moment.
Northern Pakistan belongs to the second kind.
Here, towering mountains rise dramatically into the sky, turquoise lakes appear between peaceful valleys, rivers wind through spectacular landscapes, and small mountain villages offer a glimpse into a simpler and more authentic way of life.
This is a side of Pakistan that many travelers have yet to discover — a land of extraordinary natural beauty, dramatic scenery, rich culture, and places that remain refreshingly untouched by mass tourism.
Our journey takes you from the capital, Islamabad, deep into the mountains of Skardu and Hunza, combining nature, culture, local experiences and unforgettable landscapes before reaching the spectacular Khunjerab Pass on the Pakistan–China border.
It is a journey created for travelers who want to see something genuinely different.
Because this is not an ordinary sightseeing destination.
Here, nature is the main attraction.
The experience is shaped by mountains, rivers, waterfalls, turquoise lakes, historic forts, traditional villages and scenic mountain roads.
One of the greatest strengths of this journey is that it combines two of Northern Pakistan’s most remarkable regions — Skardu and Hunza — allowing you to experience very different landscapes within one trip.
From peaceful lakes and waterfalls to dramatic mountain valleys and the road leading towards China, every part of the journey reveals another side of the country.
Skardu is one of the main highlights of our journey and the place where the extraordinary landscapes of Northern Pakistan truly begin to unfold.
The region combines lakes, rivers, waterfalls, mountains and even desert scenery, creating an impressive variety of landscapes within a relatively small area.
Surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, Upper Kachura Lake offers a peaceful introduction to Skardu.
Its tranquil setting makes it an ideal place to slow down, enjoy the surroundings and capture some of the first memorable photographs of the journey.
Our experience in this area also includes a visit to Shangrila Resort, another well-known scenic location in Skardu.
Another beautiful natural experience awaits at Manthokha Waterfall.
Rather than simply stopping for photographs, our program includes time to enjoy the surroundings and a traditional outdoor gathering beside the river.
The experience also includes the area where the Indus and Shyok rivers meet, adding another impressive natural landscape to our time in Skardu.
One of Skardu’s most unexpected landscapes is its Cold Desert.
The contrast between sand and the surrounding mountainous environment creates an unusual scene and demonstrates just how diverse the landscapes of this region can be.
The Cold Desert is included among the experiences planned during our stay in Skardu.
As we continue towards Hunza, the character of the journey changes once again.
Hunza combines spectacular mountain scenery with history, traditional communities and local culture.
Among the highlights of our time here is a viewpoint overlooking Rakaposhi, along with visits to the historic Altit and Baltit Forts, traditional markets and opportunities to experience a glimpse of local life in Hunza.
These historic forts introduce a cultural dimension to a journey otherwise dominated by spectacular natural scenery.
Set against Hunza’s dramatic mountain landscape, they offer a glimpse into the heritage and history of the communities that have lived in this remarkable valley for generations.
Our journey through Upper Hunza brings us to the spectacular Attabad Lake, one of the major highlights included in the itinerary.
Its vivid waters surrounded by rugged mountain scenery make it one of the most visually memorable stops of the trip.
But Attabad is only the beginning of this remarkable day as we continue farther north towards some of Pakistan’s most dramatic landscapes.
For those who enjoy something a little different, our journey also includes the famous Hussaini Suspension Bridge.
Set within dramatic mountain surroundings, it adds a touch of light adventure and creates another memorable experience along our route through Upper Hunza.
As we travel farther north, the landscapes become increasingly dramatic.
Passu is one of the stops included along our route before continuing towards Khunjerab.
This part of the journey captures exactly what makes Northern Pakistan so special — the feeling of travelling far beyond the familiar and discovering landscapes that still feel wild, vast and remarkably untouched.
One of the most memorable experiences of the trip is our journey to Khunjerab Pass, on the border between Pakistan and China.
According to our proposed itinerary, Khunjerab sits at an altitude of approximately 4,700 metres, making the journey itself an extraordinary experience.
The route takes us through some of the highlights of Upper Hunza — including Attabad Lake, Hussaini Bridge and Passu — before eventually reaching this remarkable high-altitude border region.
It is more than simply reaching another sightseeing stop.
It is one of those moments that reminds you just how far you have travelled from the ordinary.
Our journey begins and ends in Islamabad, allowing us to experience a completely different side of Pakistan before and after exploring the mountains.
Highlights of the capital include Faisal Mosque, the National Museum and Daman-e-Koh, with additional time for shopping. The itinerary also includes a visit to Murree towards the end of the journey.
This creates a beautiful contrast within one journey — from the capital to the spectacular landscapes of the north.
During this 9-day experience, discover:
Islamabad • Skardu • Upper Kachura Lake • Shangrila • Manthokha Waterfall • Cold Desert • Hunza • Rakaposhi • Altit & Baltit Forts • Attabad Lake • Hussaini Suspension Bridge • Passu • Khunjerab Pass & the Pakistan–China Border
The journey also includes a welcome dinner in Skardu featuring local cuisine and an outdoor gathering beside the Manthokha River.
We wanted to introduce Pakistan differently.
The goal is not simply to visit as many places as possible, but to experience the remarkable variety of Northern Pakistan — its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, history, culture and remote landscapes.
In just nine days, the scenery changes so dramatically that at times it feels as though you are travelling through several destinations in one journey.
This is a trip for travelers who want to return home with more than photographs — they want a story worth telling.
