Explore Islamabad and Lahore, two of Pakistan’s largest and most beautiful cities. My family are Islamabad locals :)

TREKKING IN THE HIMALAYAS

This has been a bucket list experience of mine for so many years. Here, we will experience the beauty of the mountains of Pakistan.

SHOPPING IN LOCAL MARKETS

If you’re going to be in Pakistan, we’ll need to have you shopping like a local and looking as fly as us too! Get ready for an epic bazaar scene.

HOMESTAYS WITH LOCAL FAMILIES

Witness Pakistani hospitality at its finest, and get ready to be over-fed and over-cared for.

AUTHENTIC FOODIE EXPERIENCES

Biryani, nihari, kabobs and some interesting treats along the way. Need I say more?

CAMPFIRE NIGHTS

Chilly nights made warm by roaring fires as you look up to a starry night sky.

NORTHERN AREA LAKES

Sail along Pakistan’s gorgeous Northern Area lakes for an experience you won’t forget.

MOSQUE VISITS

WAGAH BORDER CEREMONY

Islamabad

The capital city and also where my Mom is from! Here, we’ll stay at our family’s home and enjoy Pakistani culture, food, and ease into Pakistan.

Northern Areas

My bucket list destination since I was little - this region boasts breathtaking landscapes with towering Himalayan mountain peaks, serene lakes, and lush valleys.

Lahore

Pakistan’s creative center and a city with old-world charm, We’ll end our trip in the beautiful city of Lahore, where you’ll experience city comforts after a week in the mountains.

Accomodation

A mix of family homes, homestays, bed and breakfasts and luxury hotels - you’ll get to experience it all during your time in Pakistan.

Meals

The best part of Pakistan (says me) is the food. Get ready for delicious biryani, nihari, paratha, barbeques, and lots and lots of hot chai. All included. No bill splitting necessary.

Transportation/ Activities/ Guides

We’ll cover your flights, drives and wherever you need to get around on the ground in Pakistan during the tour dates. We’ll also make sure you have expert guides who know the regions we’re going into.

Don’t sweat it.

**Flights to and from Pakistan are not included. Visa fees are not included and can be done via E-Visa

Pakistan is a Muslim country. They will treat you with lots of love, respect and hospitality but please be respectful of cultural norms and understand that it is a more conservative society than the US, especially out in public.

You can apply below for an E-Visa. The cost is $60 USD for those looking for a single entry visa for 90 days. https://visa.nadra.gov.pk

Some places will be absolute luxury, some places will be a little rougher around the edges. Pakistan is not the USA, Europe, or a resort. Travelers should be prepared for a mix of everything while keeping in mind the hospitality will always be top tier.

The cities will have great wifi, once we’re in the highest and most remote mountain range in the world, the Himalayas, maybe not so much. Plan accordingly to be fully off-grid during this week.

If you’re someone who gets altitude sickness, this is something to consider when going to Pakistan in terms of medication, tolerance to heights etc.

We’re not headed to the tropics. You will need to pack layers! The cities will be warm and the mountains will be cold, especially once the sun goes down so you’ll want to have winter level jackets, boots, gloves and scarves for when it gets cold but also have airy, breezy clothes for the warm days.

The food in Pakistan is absolutely delicious and we’ll do our best to make sure that whatever you eat is as easy for you to digest as possible but there is a possibility that the food will not sit well with you. Packing accordingly to make sure you have what you need in case of stomach issues is a must.

Though none of our hikes/ journeys need to be for advanced hikers/ climbers, there will be hikes that involve a few hours of trekking through the mountains. Please be prepared for this level of physical activity.

$2500 USD

This will cover all accommodation, meals, flights within the country, on the ground transportation and activities. Payments are divided into two payments:

Due May 1st, 2024: $1,000 USD

Due September 1st, 2024: $1,500 USD

Please be vaccinated for COVID 19 and polio prior to coming to Pakistan.

We also recommend medicine for:

• Altitude sickness
  
• Upset stomachs
  

We will be flying into Islamabad where my family or a driver will be at the airport to pick you up. We will end the tour in Lahore, so you are welcome to fly back home from Lahore, or I can help set you up with transportation to go back to Islamabad to fly home.
