Your own adventure.
Pakistan is exclusively a private tour. Tell us when you want to go, how long you have, and who's coming — we handle everything else.
This is a 10-day sample itinerary — we can modify the length, pace, and destinations to suit your group and schedule.
After breakfast, drive toward Chilas via the famous Karakoram Highway (10–12 hrs, 480 km) — or in summer via the Kaghan Valley over the Babusar Pass. Chilas is a small bazaar town where ancient petroglyphs dating to the 1st century BC can be glimpsed.
Proceed to Gilgit for sightseeing including the bazaar and the Kargah Buddha carved into a cliff outside town. Continue to Minapin, stopping at the stunning Rakaposhi viewpoint on the way.
Early morning start for a day hike toward Rakaposhi base camp and the Minapin glacier. Depending on the group's fitness we go as far as conditions allow — faster hikers can reach the glacier edge, slower hikers enjoy stunning views from the lower slopes. Multiple guides available if needed.
Drive to Karimabad — the capital of Hunza. After lunch, explore the Karimabad Bazaar and visit the magnificent Baltit Fort, which has watched over the Hunza Valley for 700 years.
Full day tour of Karimabad: the Altit Fort, the UNESCO-listed Ganish Village with its ancient watchtowers and Silk Road heritage, and the Sacred Rocks. In the late afternoon, hike to Duikar for a breathtaking sunset over the Hunza Valley from the Eagle's Nest viewpoint.
En route to Passu, stop at Gulmit to visit the local museum, polo ground, old houses, a handmade carpet centre, and the legendary Hussaini suspension bridge. After lunch, hike to Kamaris village and the Andra Fort for spectacular views of the Passu Cones and Attabad Lake.
Morning half-day hike to the beautiful Borith Lake with lunch at the lake. In the afternoon, begin the drive south back toward Chilas for the overnight stay.
A full day scenic drive back to Islamabad — in summer via the Babusar Pass through the Kaghan Valley, otherwise along the Karakoram Highway. Arrive in Islamabad in the evening.
Transfer to Islamabad International Airport for your homebound flight. We hope to welcome you again on another Crazy Puffin adventure!
