A wind-pressed ridge greets the plane as it drops into Skardu: rock faces angle like opened books, glaciers glare in the high sun, and the Hunza River threads the valleys below. This 10-day luxury circuit stitches Islamabad to the high Karakoram—Skardu’s waterfalls and palaces, Gilgit’s lakes and viewpoints, Hunza’s forts, a high-plateau run to Khunjerab Top, and a final alpine calm at Saif‑ul‑Malook.

10 days.
Suitable for travelers in average fitness able to manage several hours of travel per day and short walks at altitude; not strenuous trekking.
Foreign visitors usually do not require a special permit for the Khunjerab road when traveling with a licensed tour operator, but carry passport copies; regulations can change, so confirm with the operator.
Skardu flights are weather-dependent—mountain winds and visibility can cause delays or cancellations; operators often plan buffer days or alternate road transfers.
The tour is tailored to a range of ages but involves long drives and altitude changes; consult a physician for older travelers and plan rest days if traveling with young children.
Carry Pakistani rupees (PKR) for local expenses; Urdu and regional languages (Shina, Burushaski) are common, while guides usually speak English.
