Pakistan

<     

Discover North Pakistan, Asia ’s best kept secret.  Cross the Himalayas, the Karakorum and the Hindu Kush .  See the highest concentration of 8,000m+ peaks on Earth, crowned by K2 the second highest in the world. Explore thousands of kilometres of jeep treks and footpaths. Share experiences with the truly isolated, diverse and hospitable peoples of the region.  People who can trace their history back to Alexander and Genghis. And see Polo where it was invented - at 11,000ft.

Stay with Kalash people who have lived in isolation for more than a millennium. Walk and ride with the guides who have an expert knowledge of the mountain passes and ancient dust tracks that connect their secluded homeland with the outside world. 

Experience the cultural diversity of Central Asia, travel from North to South Pakistan,  the Mughals grandeur, mystics shrines, tombs, old civilisation Mohenjodaro, Indus river towns, Muslim Mosques, Cholistan desert and hugely populated city Karachi!

Enter the inner sanctum: expedition to K2, the second highest 8,611m monster peak either on foot, including walking the length of the world’s longest glacier, or by helicopter, taking in one of the most breathtaking (literally!) views in the world. Ascend nearly a vertical mile in six days and camp on the breathtaking 58 km long Baltaro Glacier. The Holy Grail Concordia surrounded by giants is providing an awe-inspiring view of K2 . Return through Gondogoro La, 5,400m ice-strewn terrain of the stunning Karakorum . Surprisingly, no special equipment is required, and, besides commitment, no specific skills are necessary for two dramatic weeks of trekking.

Little visited and little understood, North Pakistan is unparalleled and surprisingly accessible destination for old and young who really wanted to have experience of a life time.
