    This was my first time to visit Pakistan. I was curious to learn about the culture, landscapes and people of this country. I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the wonderful centuries-old heritage sites and their history. I had no real idea about their ancient cultures. They clearly hold a high respect for these symbols of their long history. All sites were well-kept and clean, the museums very well curated. I found the Pakistani people friendly, kind and genuinely warm and accepting of us foreigners. While the bus trip from Islamabad to the Hunza region through the Karakoram highway was rather long, it offered the opportunity to observe the regions and landscapes. The Hunza region completely captured my heart. I’ve done my share of traveling (to over 50 countries), but Hunza holds a certain magic that I had not experienced before. The combination of majestic snow-capped mountains, the river, poplar trees and apricot blossoms created a fairy-tale atmosphere. Everywhere you looked was a picture-perfect scene. But the additional ingredient that made the trip a memorable success was the Crossroads Adventure team. Their professionalism and attention to detail was not lost on us, and further, the care and warmth with which they attended to us was so special. I would gladly and readily recommend Crossroads Adventure for your next trip!

    Everything was so amazing. I love every single moment about this trip. Flowers everywhere, the people were super friendly, prices were really cheap. And the food was quite good as well, not my taste in food but still so good and easy to eat. The views were spectacular. Definitely be back for Autumn. Much love from Vietnam ❤️.

    I would recommend Crossroads Adventure in a heartbeat. I had an exceptional experience with their team who were highly professional, courteous, and attentive. What stood out most was the personalized service and genuine care from the staff. They went above and beyond to accommodate special requests. Case in point : they made sure that the ovo-lacto vegetarian me always had something to eat at every meal. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, balancing cultural exploration and unique local experiences with two of our guides hosting lunch and tea for us in their own homes respectively. You couldn’t get anything more authentic than that which also showcased Pakistani hospitality perfectly.

    When a trip to Pakistan was first suggested to me, I was not very interested. However, I must admit that the expedition turned out to be one of the most exuberant and exciting trips of my life. Breathtaking landscapes were shown to me by very experienced tour guides, who led me safely and efficiently throughout that wonderful country. I felt at home among the kind people who received me joyously and respectfully. I truly want to return to Pakistan, where the mountains touch the sky and the people have touched my heart. Many thanks to Sultan from Crossroads Adventure , its staff and the guides Murad and Nawaz, who made this adventure unforgettable.

    Sultan is such an amazing and friendly character. He gave us an incredible week of our lives, showed us all around and told us all about the history of his people and the areas. I would strongly recommend anyone to skip the other tour guides that are there, and go with Sultan; for a true 'authentic' experience.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Crossroads Adventure OperatorWritten August 2024

      Fly into Islamabad. Take a short flight to Gilgit or Skardu to begin the Hunza Valley & Fairy Meadows tour. After completing the tour, we will arrange transfer from Islamabad to Lahore. In Lahore, we'll organize a guided tour to explore the city's landmarks. You can choose to travel to India by road or fly from Lahore to catch your connecting flight.

      TravelerWritten August 2024

      Is it possible to cross the border by road? I read that the border crossing ceremony is quite the spectacle and I should try to fit that in. Are VIP tickets available? Should I see this from India or Pakistan?

    • Crossroads Adventure OperatorWritten August 2024

      I recommend witnessing the Wagah Border ceremony from the Pakistan side around 4 PM. We'll need to confirm if crossing the border immediately after the ceremony is possible. If not, attending from the India side might be better, especially since you're planning to stay in Amritsar.

      Beth

      TravelerWritten September 2024
