Hike to the Fairytale Meadow and visit Hunza-the valley of eternal youth

Our trip will start in the rich and stunning cultural capital of Pakistan, Lahore to feast our eyes with beautiful Badshahi Mosque, Badshahi Fort, Lahore Museum, Shahi Hammam, Wazir Khan Mosque, Shalimar Gardens etc., The visit to Wagah border to witness the flag lowering ceremony is yet another attraction. While traveling to Islamabad the federal capital of Islamabad, we will visit Katas Raj Temple & Khewra Salt Mines. The fairytale meadows (3310 m), an idyllic place amidst lush coniferous forests. You will enjoy the great panoramic view of the Nanga Parbat (8125m), the second highest peak in Pakistan and 9th in the world. Our next destination is HUNZA, the valley of eternal youth. Guarded by Karakoram giants, Hunza Valley nestles itself in the lap of snow-capped mountains which makes it a tourist delight. The enchanting Hunza’s beauty reaches its peak in the apricot and cherry blossom in spring, the valley turns green in summer and leaves change their colours to red, yellow and orange in the autumn season. The magical Karimabad (Baltit), the formal capital of Hunza Valley has a charm of its own, encircled by breathtakingly beautiful snow-capped peaks, lush green fields, fruit orchards, and the singing Hunza River, the feeling of being here is unmatchable. Views from a fairytale like Baltit Fort, the old residence of the Mirs of Hunza standing atop Karimabad are incredibly beautiful. A walk along the Barbar irrigation channel with striking views of Rakaposhi, Diran Peak and Golden Peak add more essence to your journey. The beautiful Gulmit valley surrounded by high mountains and glaciers, and the Passu village known for Passu Glacier, Batura Glacier and Passu Cones are worth visiting. The smiling, welcoming and friendly inhabitants of Hunza truly make your stay at home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used the services of ADVENTURE TOURS PAKISTAN (ATP) for our tour from Lahore to Gilgit-Baltistan and Hunza Valley in July 2022. We were a group of 8 people. Right from the beginning, during the preparation period, Naiknam, the owner/manager of the company, and Abida were very prompt with our queries, very precise in preparing the documents and provided accurate and useful information. Pakistan may be a difficult country for organising activities and that is why I really appreciate the efforts, professionalism and accuracy of ADVENTURE TOURS PAKISTAN team. For ourselves, everything was professionally organised. Our tour guide Amir was very professional. He managed to arrange an alternative transport due to the closure of KKH, was always ready to help or give advice. His knowledge of the places is amazing, which we really appreciated. We liked the hotels selected by ADVENTURE TOURS PAKISTAN - good quality and nice staff. The tour was challenging for our travellers, but thanks to the professionalism of ADVENTURE TOURS PAKISTAN it became a very good and interesting adventure without any logistical or other problems. We really appreciate all the efforts and help. Based on our personal experience, I can recommend the services of ADVENTURE TOURS PAKISTAN. Thank you very much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I personally have travelled to close to 50 countries but this was my first trip to the Northern areas of Pakistan.
We had a great experience with ATP. I did two trips back-to-back with family (10 members) and then onwards on my own for a two-week trip to Northern areas of Pakistan. Areas covered. Naran, Gilgit, Hunza, Astore, Domail, Desosai, Skardu, Gupis, Phander, Shandur, Chitral, and Kailash.
Excellent service and very responsive. Everyone in the family very happy with their service. The driver was always on time as we'd leave very early at 7 am daily. For the family trip we stayed at 7 different places in 10 days. We hired a grand cabin van and then also jeeps (prados) where the van couldn't go. Both were great. One day our van driver was not well, we called an said to have a back-up plan and they agreed to it. We didn't need it but was good to know that they were responsive.
The van was very comfortable and so was the Prado jeep.
Overall, great service. Fully recommend.
