    An incredible trekking experience in the Hunza region! I was originally due to take the Patundas trek, but due to flight cancellations Exploria and I agreed to switch to a 2-day Rakaposhi Base Camp Trek, and a 1-day hike in the mountains above Karimabad. I had no regrets - the views and treks were just incredible!!! A huge thanks to Ajmal, Majid and team - as I had some unexpected changes of plan (out of anyone's control) and they always helped to solve the issues swiftly and effectively. Ajmal was a very welcoming and sociable host, giving up time to make me feel welcome and helping to arrange SIM cards and visits to local shops. His English and knowledge of the area are outstanding. Asif was an excellent guide - calm, knowledge (and an excellent photographer!!) The quality of accommodation throughout was very pleasing (and varied, from wooden chalets, to yurts, and of course - tents on the trek!) Having Exploria organised everything for me took a lot of stress away - allowing me to enjoy and immerse myself fully in the experience. I will certainly be going home to tell everyone to come here (and with Exploria!) Thank you Exploria for everything!!

    The region of Gilgit-Baltistan is beautiful with spectacular landscapes and rich culture. We enjoyed the hikes - to Rakaposhi base camp, Fairy Meadows and Nanga Parbat viewpoint, and shorter hikes around the Upper Hunza. Our guide, Fareed, also worked tirelessly to ensure that we were well taken care of during these 2 weeks. Ajmal was also very responsive before and during the trip, providing a detailed itinerary and tweaking it to suit our needs and making sure that all arrangements were in order.

    We encounter ALOT of uncontrollable problem since day one in pakistan from exchange currency to flight cancellation, but thankgod exploria was able to help out with all our problems with ease, not to mention they gave excellent advice which we're so grateful we follow through, otherwise we'll be missing our flight back home since the weather can be very unpredictable. We enjoy every second of our patundas trek and it is absolutely beautiful since the first day we stay in our hotel exploria picked for us. Patundas trek and hunza valley is unlike any other trek ive ever been. Absolutely stunning!!! Not too difficult, get to trek over glacier, gorgeous view, i mean, what more can you ask?
