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.

TOUR REVIEWS

I have dealt with Anthony Horrobin on a number of occasions and it is like talking to an old friend on the phone. Anthony is super-efficient and will always go the extra mile to create the perfect trip.

This is our first travel through Encounters Travel and so far the arrangement is working very well. Our travel is not until April 2017 so I am more than hopeful all will continue to run as smoothly as it has so far.

I had an amazing time on the trip. Everything was incredibly well organized and planned out to a tee. Our tour guide, Big Mo, was amazing and super knowledgeable. I couldn't have imagined a better trip to Egypt!
Excellent

My experience with Encounters was excellent from start to finish. The Tour Guide, Sheriff, was the most passionate, enthusiastic and professional guide I have ever had on a tour and his love for Egypt really made me enjoy my time so much more.
