    If you’re considering this tour, don’t think twice—it’s an experience you’ll cherish forever! We took the autumn tour with Hunza Explorers, starting from Islamabad to Skardu, then Hunza, and back via the Karakoram Highway. The stunning landscapes of Pakistan were only matched by the incredible service. Our guide, Riaz, was knowledgeable and attentive, and our driver, Aziz, ensured we felt safe and comfortable throughout. A special highlight was being invited to Karim’s home, where his family served us delicious traditional Hunza food, showcasing the region’s warm hospitality. For an unforgettable journey through Pakistan, Hunza Explorers is a top-notch choice! Highly recommended!
