Asia’s best-kept secret. Cross the Himalayas, the Karakorum and the Hindu Kush.  See the highest concentration of 8,000m+ peaks on Earth, crowned by K2, the second highest mountain in the world. Explore thousands of kilometers of jeep treks and footpaths. Visit the truly isolated, diverse and hospitable peoples of the region who can trace their history back to Alexander and Genghis. Experience a Polo Match where it was invented - at 12,000ft.

 

Stay with Kalash people who have lived in isolation for more than a millennium. Walk and ride with guides who have an expert knowledge of the mountain passes and ancient dust tracks which connect their secluded homeland with the outside world. 

 

Experience the cultural diversity of Central Asia.  Visit the crossing at Khunjerab Pass, one of the highest borders in the world, between Pakistan and China. Travel from North to South, encountering a huge variety of lifestyles ranging from those that are thousands of years old right up to the current day. 

 

Enter the inner sanctum on expedition to K2, the second highest 8,611m monster peak. Travel either on foot, including a walk along the length of the world’s longest glacier, or by helicopter, taking in one of the most breathtaking (literally!) views in the world. Ascend almost a vertical mile in six days and camp on the stunning 58 km long Baltaro Glacier. The Holy Grail is Concordia, surrounded by giants and providing an awe-inspiring view of K2. Return through Gondogoro La at 5,400m, the ice-strewn terrain of the majestic Karakorum. Surprisingly, no specialised equipment is required and, besides commitment, no specific skills are necessary to undertake these two dramatic weeks of trekking.

 

Little visited and little understood, North Pakistan is unparalleled in its beauty and is a readily accessible destination for all - old and young alike – who truly wish to have the experience of a life time.
