Experience Northern Pakistan as it was meant to be seen: by road. This 12-day curated expedition takes you from the modern capital of Islamabad deep into the heart of the Karakoram and Himalayan ranges. You will traverse the legendary Karakoram Highway, explore the 700-year-old silk-road forts of Hunza, and witness the high-altitude deserts of Skardu.
Designed specifically for international travelers, this tour balances rugged mountain exploration with VIP meet-and-greet services, hand-picked heritage stays, and expert cultural guidance. From the turquoise waters of Attabad Lake to the 4,693m high Khunjerab Pass (the world’s highest paved border crossing), every mile of this journey offers a window into the “Eighth Wonder of the World.”
Highlights:
The Big Three: Visit the junction point where the Himalaya, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush ranges meet.

Absolutely. Northern Pakistan is one of the safest regions in the country, with a very high literacy rate and a culture rooted in hospitality. Our routes are pre-vetted, and our drivers are experts in mountain terrain. We also provide 24/7 support throughout your journey.
Most nationalities can apply for a Pakistan Tourist Visa-on-Arrival (E-Visa). Once you book, North Gateways provides a formal Letter of Invitation (LOI) and all necessary documents to make your visa process seamless.
Since we cover different altitudes, we recommend "layering." Bring comfortable walking shoes, a warm jacket for the high passes (Khunjerab/Babusar), and sun protection. A detailed packing list is sent to all guests upon booking.
