Shahjinali&Darkot pass - Adventure Tours Pakistan

Shah Jinali & Darkot Pass Trek

The broad rolling alpine meadows and sparkling streams offer open rolling through the pass called the king’s polo ground or Shahjinali An (4,259m). Facing northwards from the Shahjinali Pass, a delightful view is guaranteed by the Hindu-Raj Mountain Range, which forms the border to Afghanistan (Wakhan Corridor). The Qala-i-Ust peak, with its altitude of 6,317m, is an outstanding feature of the mountain range. The second part of the trek is from Yarkhun Chitral to Yasin of Gilgit-Baltistan. This is a scenic, moderate trek following one of the ancient trade routes and has dramatic views of the Thui peaks and other 6000m mountains. Thui Pass (4,499m) is just passable, but the trek requires stamina and good health. The views from the top of the pass back down Yasin’s side show a circle of pointed, rocky, 6000m peaks touched with snow, with a wide green meadow on the rounded hill in the foreground and Aghost Bar Glacier snaking down to the Thui Valley. On the Chitral side, the view is blocked by a semi-circle of 5000m to 6000m peaks enclosing a glaciated bowl.

 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.
