On the trip

Will the altitude affect me?

Most overnight stops are below about 2,500 m. Drink plenty of water, take the first day slowly, and tell us about any heart or breathing condition before you book.

What should I pack?

Layers, a warm jacket, comfortable shoes, sunglasses, sun cream and any medicines you take. We send a full packing list on WhatsApp after you book.

What if the road closes or the weather turns?

Landslides can close mountain roads, mostly in spring and the monsoon. Your driver adapts the plan and we keep you updated on WhatsApp. Extra nights are shared at cost, with nothing added.

Will my phone work?

Mobile networks work in most towns. Signal is patchy or absent in upper Hunza, Deosai and Fairy Meadows, and your guide carries a way to reach our office from there.

What is the food like?

Breakfast and dinner are included, mostly Pakistani and local dishes. Tell us about allergies or diets when you book.

Families & children

Can we travel with children?

Yes. Children aged 5 and over count as travellers; younger children share their parents’ room free. Tell us their ages when you book and we’ll plan the stops around them.

Do children pay less?

Children under 5 travel free when they share their parents’ room. From 5, a child counts as a traveller, with a seat and a place in the room.

Can we travel with elderly parents?

Yes. Tell us about mobility and health, and we plan shorter walks, more stops and ground-floor rooms where we can.
