Chitral and the Kalash, Hunza and the Karakoram, Skardu and Deosai — everything, unhurried, in fourteen private days.
This is our most complete journey — beginning in the Hindu Kush at Chitral, passing through the Kalash valleys, crossing Shandur Pass, and spending a week in the Karakoram from Hunza to Deosai. Fourteen days is a commitment, and this journey earns every one of them. By the end you will have crossed three great mountain ranges, touched the Chinese border at 4,693 m, spent two nights on a 4,000 m plateau, and seen more of the real north than almost any traveller before you.
Begin in the Hindu Kush — a flight to Chitral, the westernmost entry point to the north. Private transfer to your riverside lodge. Dinner beside the Chitral River.
A private walking tour of Chitral's old quarter, the Shahi Mosque, and the fort. Drive upriver through dramatic gorges in the afternoon.
Drive into the Bumburet Valley — one of the three Kalash valleys — for a respectful, privately guided morning among one of the oldest living cultures in the region. Afternoon at leisure in the valley.
Cross the legendary Shandur Pass (3,700 m) — the world's highest polo ground — a full day's scenic drive descending to Gilgit. Overnight in Gilgit.
The Karakoram Highway north to Hunza. Arrive as the valley opens and Rakaposhi appears. Heritage hotel check-in, welcome dinner.
Baltit and Altit Forts in the morning, Eagle's Nest at dusk — the full Hunza day.
Drive to Attabad Lake, across by private boat, then on to the Passu Cones and — if the season allows — a private excursion to Khunjerab Pass (4,693 m) at the China border, one of the highest paved border crossings on earth.
Return to Gilgit for a domestic flight to Skardu. The approach reveals the whole Karakoram from above.
Two of Skardu's finest lakes in one private day. Boat on both.
The exquisitely restored Shigar Fort in the morning. Surreal afternoon among the cold desert dunes.
The climb to 4,000 m and the Deosai Plains. Private luxury camp, extraordinary sky.
A full day above the world. Sheosar Lake, brown bears, bar-headed geese, and the silence.
Descend through Astore Valley as Nanga Parbat's eastern face emerges. Overnight at a private mountain lodge in Rama Meadows.
A final morning with Nanga Parbat. Private transfer to Gilgit and your homeward flight — carrying fourteen days of the extraordinary.
Our most complete journey — a personal designer will shape every detail around you.
