day 1 - Islamabad

Khush Aamadid! Welcome to Islamabad. When you arrive at the Islamabad International Airport, you’ll be met by a local representative and taken to your hotel. If you arrive early, you can join your leader and group for lunch and a city tour visiting Lok Virsa Museum and Shah Faisal Mosque this afternoon. Back at the hotel, you’ll meet up with everyone again for a welcome meeting at 3pm to get all the details on your upcoming trek. After, relax, explore or find a good spot for dinner.

day 2 - Skardu (2230 m/7316 ft)

First things first, you’ll check the weather – if it’s good, you’ll fly from Islamabad to Skardu (a short, scenic flight). If the weather isn’t cooperating, you’ll instead make the trip via the Karakoram Highway, making stops along the way among mountain peaks that humans are yet to have stepped a foot on. In Skardu – the gateway to the Karakoram Mountain Range – you’ll have some free time to explore and pick up any snacks or souvenirs that might be calling your name from the Skardu Bazaar. You'll also have the chance to rent any hiking gear here that you may have forgotten to pack. Time permitting while in Skardu, check out the Manthal Rock Buddha, Kharpocho Fort and Nansoq Organic Village.

included:Skardu Bazaar walk, Manthal Rock Buddha
