    If I were talking to a friend, I'd just have one thing to say to them: "You've got to take this tour!" Gypsy Traces & Tours conducts their tours in a highly professional, world class manner. They were responsive to our every need and check with us constantly to ensure were were satisfied. As for the itinerary: we saw some of the most stunning landscapes in the world in the Hindukush Range of northern Pakistan, learned about many of the ancient traditions and culture still alive today, and got to enjoy the warm hospitality of the Chitrali, Pashtun, and Kalash people we encountered along the way. We were traveling as a family and felt completely safe and secure the entire ttrip. Plus there was something for every one: from viewing natural wildlife

    We had an amazing tour to Chitral with Gypsy Traces & Tours. Assad, our guide, was fantastic. We visited Chitral, Kalash, and Garam Chashma. The sights were breathtaking, and Assad's knowledge made the experience unforgettable. The organization was flawless, and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Gypsy Traces & Tours for an unforgettable trip!
