Northern Pakistan tour packages — your complete guide

Northern Pakistan is home to some of the most dramatic mountain scenery on earth. Three of the world's great mountain ranges — the Himalaya, the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush — meet here, creating a landscape of giant peaks, glaciers, turquoise lakes, green valleys and ancient villages. Our Northern Pakistan tour packages make it easy to explore Gilgit-Baltistan and the mountain valleys of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa safely and comfortably, whether you travel with family, friends, colleagues or as a couple.

Popular destinations in the north

Hunza Valley

Hunza is famous for Attabad Lake, Baltit and Altit forts, the Passu Cones and the Khunjerab Pass on the China border. It is perfect for first-time visitors and families. See our Hunza destination guide.

Skardu and Baltistan

Skardu offers Shangrila and Upper Kachura lakes, the Katpana cold desert, Shigar Fort and the Deosai Plains. It is the gateway to K2 and the highest mountains of the Karakoram. Read our Skardu guide.

Fairy Meadows

A jeep ride and short trek bring you to a meadow facing Nanga Parbat, the ninth-highest mountain in the world — a favourite for adventure lovers.

Naran Kaghan

Lake Saiful Muluk, Lulusar Lake and Babusar Top make Naran the most accessible mountain getaway from Islamabad and Lahore.

Swat and Kalam

Green valleys, rivers, Malam Jabba ski resort and Mahodand Lake — Swat is a year-round destination ideal for families.

Other destinations

We also arrange tours to Chitral and the Kalash valleys, Neelum Valley in Azad Kashmir, Kumrat valley, Astore and Rama Meadows, Khaplu, Murree, Nathia Gali and more. Ask us for a custom plan.

Types of northern tours we offer

  • Group departures: fixed-date tours where you join other travellers — great value for individuals and small groups.
  • Private family tours: your own vehicle, driver and flexible schedule.
  • Honeymoon tours: private car, view rooms and romantic extras.
  • Corporate and school trips: coaster transport, group hotels and team activities.
  • Adventure tours: treks, jeep safaris and photography trips.

When is the best time to visit Northern Pakistan?

The main season runs from April to October. In April and May, blossoms cover Hunza and Skardu. June to August is the best time for high lakes, Deosai, Babusar Top and the Khunjerab Pass. September and October bring clear skies and spectacular autumn colours. Winter tours are possible to Hunza, Skardu, Swat and Murree for snow lovers, although some high roads close.

How long should a northern tour be?

For Naran or Swat, three to four days is enough. For Hunza or Skardu by road from Islamabad, plan at least five to six days. A complete Hunza and Skardu tour takes around seven days, and with ten days or more you can add Fairy Meadows, Deosai or Khaplu. Flying to Gilgit or Skardu can save time, but flights depend on weather.

What is included in our packages?

Most northern packages include transport in a private or air-conditioned vehicle, hotel accommodation on a twin or triple sharing basis, daily breakfast, an experienced driver, a tour coordinator, fuel, tolls and parking. Entry tickets, jeep rides to places like Saiful Muluk or Deosai, and lunches and dinners are usually extra and are clearly listed on each package page. Every itinerary can be customised for your dates, hotels and budget.

Travel tips for Northern Pakistan

Always carry your original CNIC or passport for checkpoints. Pack warm layers even in summer, as evenings and high passes are cold. Keep some cash, because ATMs can be limited in remote areas. Drink plenty of water at altitude and avoid overexertion on the first day. Most importantly, respect local culture and the environment — carry your rubbish back and help keep the north clean.

Frequently asked questions

Which northern destination is best for a first trip?
For a first trip, Hunza is the most popular choice because it combines easy sightseeing, good hotels and stunning scenery. Families with less time often choose Naran or Swat, which are closer to Islamabad. Adventure lovers may prefer Fairy Meadows or Skardu.
Are northern tours suitable for elderly travellers?
Yes, most northern tours involve sightseeing by road with short walks. For elderly travellers we recommend a private vehicle, a slower pace with extra breaks and hotels that are easy to access. Destinations involving treks, like Fairy Meadows, can be done with ponies.
Do you offer group departures?
Yes. We run group departures to popular destinations during the main season. They are a good option for individuals, couples and small groups who want to save money and travel with others. Private tours are available all year.
What happens if roads are blocked?
Landslides or snow can occasionally block mountain roads. Our team monitors conditions daily and adjusts routes or schedules when needed. Extra costs caused by delays beyond our control, such as additional hotel nights, are usually payable by the traveller, as explained in our terms.
Can I start the tour from Lahore or Karachi?
Yes. We can arrange pickup from Lahore by road, or travellers from Karachi and other cities can fly to Islamabad, Gilgit or Skardu and join the tour there.
How do I pay for a northern tour?
A booking amount confirms your seats or vehicle, and the balance is paid before departure. We accept bank transfer, JazzCash and EasyPaisa, and share full payment details with your quote.
