Pakistan tours

Pakistan is a beautiful country with huge contrasts in its scenery and landscapes. In the south of the country our tours take in both the deserts and lowland plains, the lush banks of the Indus and many important ancient architectural and religious sites. In the North we travel up the iconic Karakorum Highway through the high mountains of the Karakorum, Hindu Kush and Himalayan ranges.

Malaria is present in some regions of Pakistan, particularly during the monsoon season. Consult your doctor for advice on taking malaria prophylaxis before your trip.

It’s best to drink bottled or purified water in Pakistan, as tap water may not be safe for consumption. Always ensure bottled water seals are intact before drinking.

Lahore is considered one of the best cities to visit for its rich history, vibrant culture, and famous landmarks like Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort. Islamabad, with its modern architecture and proximity to nature, is another favorite.
