Welcome to an unforgettable adventure through the majestic lands of Skardu, Hunza, Valley, and Fairy Meadows! Over the next 11 days, we’ll journey deep into the heart of the Karakoram, where breathtaking landscapes, ancient cultures, and thrilling experiences await.
Our journey begins with a scenic drive along the legendary Karakoram Highway, surrounded by towering peaks and sparkling rivers. As we make our way to Fairy Meadows, get ready for an exhilarating jeep ride along rugged mountain trails. Then, a short hike leads us to a place straight out of a dream—Fairy Meadows, where the mighty Nanga Parbat (8,126m) towers above. Imagine waking up to the golden sunlight kissing its snowy peak!
From there, we continue to Skardu, a land of crystal-clear lakes and historic forts. We’ll visit the enchanting Shangrila Resort, take a serene boat ride on Upper Kachura Lake, and explore the centuries-old Shigar Fort, where time seems to stand still.
Next, we travel to the breathtaking Hunza Valley, where the air is scented with apricot blossoms, and the locals welcome you like family. We’ll explore the ancient Baltit and Altit Forts, stand above the clouds at Eagle’s Nest, and marvel at the iconic Passu Cones, jagged peaks that look like they belong in another world. A stop at Attabad Lake offers a chance to enjoy its surreal turquoise waters on a peaceful boat ride.
Throughout this journey, you’ll meet incredible people, hear fascinating stories, and experience the untouched beauty of northern Pakistan. So, pack your bags, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready for an experience you’ll treasure forever.
