Towering peaks, ancient relics, and vibrant cultures shape the unforgettable "Karakorum Highlights" tour, a 15-day journey through the heart of northern India and Pakistan. Starting in Punjab and winding through Gilgit, Islamabad, and the legendary Hunza Valley, this sightseeing trip is a tapestry of breathtaking natural wonders and deep historical roots. Your adventure begins in the modern capital of Islamabad, where you’ll marvel at landmarks like the Faisal Mosque and Pakistan Monument, before traveling through the scenic Khagan Valley to the bustling mountain town of Naran.

Dive into millennia-old history at Jaulian Monastery, cross the dramatic Babusar Pass, and trek to Fairy Meadows for awe-inspiring views of Nanga Parbat. The itinerary features invigorating day hikes—tailored for varied fitness levels—leading to glacial lakes, sacred sites, and the base camps of legendary peaks.

Throughout your trip, enjoy a welcoming mix of tourist-class hotels and cozy guesthouses, plus a culinary journey featuring regional specialties like Hunza Valley apricots.
