    We had a tour organised based on our requirements. And Ajmal one of the co founders of the company did a fantastic job in accomodating our requirements. As it was early part of the season, some places were still closed. The tour itself was very well organised, throughout. And planned before we even arrived to pakistan. I contacted over 6 companies initially and exploria far exceeded all expectations. We manage to cover nearly all the things on our iternitary. However due to bad weather we and a rearrange a couple of other things. However the reaarengments were even more exciting than what we planned originally. We tasted the local food. Mixed in with the locals too. And enjoyed some great hospitality from everyone. The hotels of choice were amazing in all the locations we stayed at. The guides were english speaking and comminucation was easy. In a very challenging enviroment the exploria team came out with flying colours.

Most of the hotels provide a kettle and hot water so it is also included. Fairy Meadows and all the other small villages have fully functional Wooden huts which have electricity and all the basic amenities available.

      For Fairy Meadows, how many kilometers is the one way trek, and what is the altitude? For trekking to Nanga Parbat base camp, how many kilometers is the return trip, and what is the altitude?

      Craig

      TravelerWritten July 2024

      I checked the Australian government travel advice website and also my travel insurance policy. The attached map shows the Swat Valley and Kalash Valley area to be "Do Not Travel" by my government. This means my travel insurance will not cover me if I have any accident in the area designated by my government as "Do Not Travel". Chitral and the area to the east of Chitral is fine. Is there any way to fly to Chitral to start the tour from there?

    • ExploriaOperatorWritten July 2024

      We take extra precautionary measures to ensure your safety. If in case we feel any safety-related issues in any destinations, we take action beforehand and make changes in the tour itinerary by changing the route. We can take out destinations not covered by your insurance. However, being an Australian you should visit areas like Chitral, Kalash which are the face of the mighty Hindu Kush range in Northern Pakistan.

    Asked on July 28th, 2023

    On average, how much hiking do you do per day?

    Tour Details
    • ExploriaOperatorWritten July 2023

      This is a 24 day long tour designed carefully to cover almost every place in northern Pakistan. Hikes depend on the valleys that you will be exploring on specific days. Not everyday is a hike day. However, we have places included like Fairy meadows, Chitral and Skardu where you will have to hike for 2-3 hours daily. If you are hiking person, then we can also include hikes on daily basis as per your request. If you are not into hiking, then we do have alternative options to do the tour via jeeps and horses.

      Of all the dates you have going forward do you recommend one over another regarding temperature?

    • ExploriaOperatorWritten July 2023

      Pakistan has 4 seasons and every season holds its own unique beauty. However, Summer and Autumn is the time where most of travellers prefer doing this tour.
