Why Northern Pakistan Should Be on Every Pakistani’s Travel List
Before we talk packages, let us talk about why the north deserves your attention.
It is globally recognised. Gilgit-Baltistan was named one of the world’s top travel destinations by international travel publications. Hunza Valley has featured in travel lists alongside Patagonia, the Swiss Alps, and the Norwegian Fjords.
It holds world records. Five of the fourteen 8,000-metre peaks on Earth are located here. Three of the world’s greatest mountain ranges the Karakoram, the Himalayas, and the Hindukush converge in Gilgit-Baltistan.
It is accessible. With domestic flights to Gilgit and Skardu, and the Karakoram Highway connecting it to the rest of Pakistan, the north is more reachable today than ever before.
It is affordable. Compared to international destinations, a northern Pakistan tour offers extraordinary value. You get world-class mountain scenery at a fraction of the cost of Swiss or Himalayan alternatives.
It is safe. Gilgit-Baltistan consistently ranks as one of Pakistan’s safest regions for domestic and international tourists alike.
It is spiritually enriching. There is something about the mountains that clears the mind and lifts the spirit. People return from the north different calmer, more grateful, more alive.
