ITINERARY
DAY 1 & 2: ARRIVAL IN LAHORE
Welcome to Pakistan! Land in Lahore and settle into the city’s rhythm.
Explore the mighty Lahore Fort, wander through the courtyard of Badshahi Mosque, and let the stories of the Mughal Empire kick-start your adventure.
As sunset approaches, we hit the Wagah Border for an electric flag ceremony – your goosebumps may make an appearance.
Wrap the day with a rooftop welcome dinner at Haveli Restaurant overlooking old Lahore glowing at night.
DAY 3: LAHORE TO ISLAMABAD
Hop on a 4-5 hour road trip to Islamabad via the motorway: expect green fields, Punjabi plains, and highway chai breaks along the way.
Check in, then head out to stretch your legs, exploring the modern curves of Faisal Mosque and the blossoming gardens and viewpoints around the Pakistan Monument. Dinner together in the capital before we rest up.
DAY 4: KARAKORAM
Fuel up early as we chase the Karakoram Highway today – the highest paved international road on the planet. Expect cliffside roads, river valleys, tiny villages and constant “can we stop for a photo?” moments.
Overnight in Besham or Chillas.
DAY 5: FAIRY MEADOWS
Adventure day! We’ll ride jeeps along a wild cliff road to Tato Village – then lace up our boots. Trek through forest, meadows, and switchbacks (2–4 hours depending on pace). The landscapes are guaranteed to wow you away!
Arrive at Fairy Meadows – emerald grass, wooden cabins, and your first full view of Nanga Parbat, the “Killer Mountain.” Night under the stars.
DAY 6: NANGA PARBAT BASECAMP
Wake up to sunrise lighting up the 8,126m massif.
Trek through alpine pastures and icy streams to Beyal Camp and onward toward Nanga Parbat Basecamp (4–5 hours). The trail narrows near the end – if heights aren’t your friend, chilling at Beyal Camp with jaw-dropping views is equally legendary.
Overnight at Beyal/Meadows beneath a galaxy of stars.
DAY 7: KARIMABAD
Trek back to Tato village, hop on jeeps and roll back toward the highway.
From Raikot Bridge, we journey deeper into Gilgit-Baltistan.
Photo stops:
– Junction Point: where the Himalayas, Karakoram & Hindu Kush collide.
– Rakaposhi Viewpoint: a white pyramid slicing the sky
Arrive in Karimabad, settle in, feast, rest.
DAY 8: HUNZA VALLEY
Step into Hunza’s storybook world.
Wander the ancient halls of Altit & Baltit Forts, where kings once ruled and mountain legends were born. Shop the buzzing Karimabad bazaar, sip fresh apricot juice, and soak in valley life.
As the sun drops, climb to Eagle’s Nest for a 360° panorama: where snow peaks glow gold and the whole valley is at your feet.
DAY 9: BASKOCHI HIKE
Head deep into Upper Hunza where the mountains get sharper and the rivers bluer. Float beside Attabad Lake’s impossible turquoise, stand beneath the jagged Passu Cones, and tiptoe across the legendary Husseini Suspension Bridge – swaying planks, roaring river, full adrenaline.
For the adventure-hungry, tackle the Baskochi hike — steep, scenic, and totally worth the effort. Wrap up the day with village vibes and glacier views.
DAY 10: NALTAR VALLEY
A 4-hour road trip to Naltar followed by jeep tracks into thick pine forests.
Visit the 7 coloured Satrangi Lake and Blue Lake – surreal colours surrounded by mountains. Yet another picturesque spot that seemingly only exists in movies!
Night in the calm of Gilgit City.
DAY 11: SKARDU
Roll toward Skardu on a 5-6 hours ride via winding roads and riverbanks.
If timing allows: we’ll go boating at Upper Kachura Lake and witness the sunset at Shangrila.
If not? No stress – tomorrow’s another chance!
DAY 12: SKARDU
Skardu turns epic today.
Walk the high-altitude Cold Desert – rippling sand where mountains meet sky. Step into Shigar Fort, a 400-year-old palace frozen in time. We’ll end the day chasing spray and rainbows at Manthoka Waterfall, where glacial water crashes down into emerald pools.
A sunset you’ll never forget wraps it up – mountains glowing orange, air crisp, and you smack in the middle of it all.
DAY 13: MASUR ROCK HIKE
One more trail to conquer! Drive as far as Hussainabad Broq, then trek 2.5–3 hours up to Masur Rock – a hanging viewpoint that feels like the world drops away beneath your feet. Talk about mesmerizing.
Pack snacks + water – there will be no shops up here.
DAY 14: ISLAMABAD
Buckle in for one of the most breathtaking flights on Earth – soaring past razor-sharp peaks and right beside Nanga Parbat itself.
Touch down in Islamabad and spend your final evening wandering markets, tasting last bites of Pakistani flavours, or simply unwinding with city lights and mountain memories. One last night together before the journey home.
DAY 15: ISLAMABAD TO LAHORE
Hop on a 4-5 hour road trip back to Lahore via the motorway. Airport drop-off and goodbyes. You leave with tired legs, a full camera roll, and memories in the highlands.
*Itinerary is subject to changes based on weather & road conditions.
