Pakistan Tours in July 2026

An absolutely fantastic trip that exceeded all our expectations! Highly recommended. In our top 3 Explore trips. While the scenery was spectacular (is there another country that can offer so much in such a small area?), it was the people that made the trip. Our tour leader, Sajid, was superb, and he was very ably supported by the jeep drivers for whom nothing was too much (see the photo). Such lovely men. And the local people wherever we went were so friendly and welcoming. We never experienced any hassle or were worried about our safety. The trip is strenuous so if you are not fit then you will not be able to enjoy it all. Get some hikes in before you go!!! The jeep travel was very interesting as it afforded great views, but it is not for everyone. The accommodation was very good except for 2 nights in one location where the quality of the bedrooms was very variable. Any pre-trip concerns on security and food were addressed. We are vegetarian, which we told could be a problem, but Sajid made sure that we always had plenty of options at every meal. We had raised this with Explore before the trip, but we were left a bit up in the air by their response so we brought back up food with us just in case. It would be helpful to make the trip notes more specific. We loved Hunza valley - the people, the scenery, the location and the town, which is good for shopping. There is not much opportunity to buy souvenirs etc on the trip, but Hunza is the place to do this (and not Naran, which is at the tacky end of the market). I suggest that the evening walk to the locals' house for dinner in the Hunza valley should be cancelled to allow more time to explore the shops. I recommend Karakoram Handicraft (near Zero Point). Credit cards are accepted at most places. The biggest improvement to the trip should be more specific advice on cold weather gear. The trip notes gave the impression that we would be facing really cold temperatures and, being unable to get accurate weather forecasts for the places that we were going to, we followed the advice and packed thermal gear. In the end, we used a fleece a couple of times and a thin jacket once or twice. The rest of the clothing remained unused. I now understand the need for the advice for an October trip, but not in June, July and August. There are a couple of very long driving days. It would be helpful to get advice at the start of each day on toilet stops, lunch, breaks etc (use the WhatsApp group?) rather than finding out along the way. The suggested tip amounts in the trip notes seem too low. A group of us were embarrassed by how low they were so added more for both the drivers and the guide. The trip notes need changing, I raise this on every trip - it is useful to get pre-trip advice on where clothes can be washed at a hotel. We were able to use the hotel facilities (quick, cheap and good quality) on 3 occasions. We should have taken fewer clothes! Definitely bring hiking shoes or boots. And walking sticks to be safe (but not entirely necessary).

this is probably one of the most exciting holidays that I have been on, ever. The country is amazing, the travel guides went way over their remit to look after us, and the itinery is packed full each day, of exciting adventures. Sajid Ali, our guide, could not have done more to ensure that we experienced all that Pakistan has to offer, his attention to detail was second to none, all the hotel and restaurant staff were hospitable and friendly and I could not speak highly enough about the organisation and thought that Explore had put into in order to ensure that we all had the most amazing time. Highly reccomend the trip to anyone

I had an amazing time travelling in Pakistan. The trekking was excellent, as were the local insights and various opportunities for cultural immersion. Guides and staff were outstanding. I hope G Adventures invests further into Pakistan as a destination, as well as other lesser-visited destinations in the region and around the world.

The tour was great, the equipment was great, the food was great, and the guides and support staff did a great job. They all knew what they needed to do, and made the trip fun for us.

I had an amazing time in Pakistan thanks to excellent guides, beautiful landscapes, rich cultural insights and some of the most welcoming people I have ever met. Pakistan is a wonderful country that I am very lucky to have been able to visit. I hope G Adventures invests further in this destination and others like it.

Amazing. A great tour, especially since we were the first one. There we very few growing pains along the way, which was expected. Our group was great, the tour leaders were great, and the destinations were fantastic.
