Frequently Asked Questions

For all trips to Pakistan you will require a visa, depending on the the type of tour you will either need a standard tourist visa or a trekking visa. Our sales team will provide you with all the necessary information as well as a visa invitation letter and related supporting documents after you have booked your tour with us.

The timing of your flight will depend on your specific itinerary and preferences, wherever possible. For the standard K2, K2 Gondogoro La, and Snow Lake treks, we typically schedule the flight on day 2 of your itinerary, flying from Islamabad to Skardu. This flight is incredibly scenic, and if the weather is clear, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the mountains, including Nanga Parbat, the 9th highest mountain in the world.

However, if the weather is unfavorable, the flight to Skardu may be canceled. In this case, we will drive from Islamabad to Skardu over two days, with an overnight stop midway. To account for any potential delays, a contingency day is always included in your itinerary.

 

It's a valid question, as the news from Pakistan often focuses on the negative, but the image many people have abroad is far from the reality. While there were legitimate concerns in the past about safety, a lot has changed in recent years. The security situation has improved significantly, and the government has been making concerted efforts to promote tourism and facilitate travel.

When you visit, you'll quickly notice the warmth and hospitality of Pakistanis. They are eager to meet visitors and often extend invitations to their homes. Pakistan is a large and diverse country, and we only offer tours and treks to areas we consider safe. We currently do not recommend traveling to the border regions with Afghanistan and certain parts of Balochistan, but most other areas are safe to visit without any issues.
