Tour Packages

A tour package in Gilgit-Baltistan usually covers transport, accommodation and a driver or guide for a fixed number of days, leaving you to arrange only your travel to the starting point. For a first visit this is generally the easier way to travel: the distances are long, the roads are not always where the map says they are, and a local operator who has driven the route this month knows things a route planner does not.

The operators listed here are based in the region and run the trips themselves rather than reselling someone else's. When you book, your request goes to the operator directly and they confirm it to you. Read what each package includes before you compare prices — two trips of the same length and the same headline figure can differ by whether meals, permits and entry fees are counted in.

Ask any operator, before you commit: how many people will be in the vehicle, what happens if the road closes, and whether the itinerary has a spare day in it. Weather changes plans in Gilgit-Baltistan more often than anything else, and the operators worth booking will tell you that before you ask.
