Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Northern Pakistan is considered very safe for international tourists. Millions of visitors from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia travel to Hunza, Skardu and Chitral every year. Pakistan welcomed over 1 million international tourists in 2023, with numbers growing steadily. The mountain communities are famously hospitable, and our team provides end-to-end logistics, local knowledge and 24/7 support to ensure every journey runs smoothly.
The best time to visit Northern Pakistan is May to September, when mountain roads are fully open, skies are clear and temperatures are comfortable for travel and trekking. April brings the famous cherry and apricot blossoms to Hunza valley. October offers golden autumn foliage across Gilgit-Baltistan. For the Shandur Polo Festival, plan for July. High-altitude passes such as Khunjerab and Deosai are closed from November to April.
Most nationalities can obtain a Pakistan visa on arrival or through the online e-Visa portal at visa.nadra.gov.pk. Citizens of over 50 countries, including the UK, USA, EU member states, Australia, Canada and most Asian nations, qualify for the e-Visa. We recommend applying two to four weeks before your travel date. Our team can advise on the specific requirements for your nationality and assist with documentation.
We recommend a minimum of 7 days to experience one region well, such as a Hunza valley tour or a Skardu lakes itinerary. For a grand Northern Pakistan tour covering Hunza, Skardu and Fairy Meadows, plan for 12 to 14 days. Our most popular Pakistan tour packages run 7 to 13 days. We can customise any duration to fit your schedule and interests.
All our Pakistan tour packages include private transport in an air-conditioned 4x4 or SUV with a professional driver, an English-speaking local guide, accommodation in guesthouses or hotels, daily breakfast, selected dinners, all government permits and national park entry fees, and 24/7 support from our Islamabad office. International flights, travel insurance and personal expenses are not included. Every tour is customisable to match your group size and budget.
