Some journeys show you scenery. Northern Pakistan shows you scale — valleys a mile deep, peaks that fill half the sky, and a welcome as warm as the mountains are wild.
Over three and a half decades we have refined a route that strings the region's greatest moments together: the Kaghan Valley's alpine lakes, the Nanga Parbat viewpoint at Fairy Meadows, Hunza's thousand-year-old forts and the border pass at Khunjerab.
Why it works as one journey
The Karakoram Highway makes it possible to link three mountain ranges — Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindukush — in a single overland arc. Each day changes the backdrop; no two valleys feel alike.
Guests often arrive for the mountains and leave talking about the people.
If you have three weeks and a taste for the extraordinary, this is the journey we recommend first. Read about it in full on our Amazing North itinerary — or write to us and we'll shape it around you.
