- ONOFRE· September 10th, 2025Gypsy Traces & Tours is one of the tour companies in Pakistan that offer KKH tour. The performance ratings and their flexibility is par excellence. Bakhsh, the Director of Operation, arranged all necessary documents needed for the tour including my visa. Albeit, we communicated only through social media, I noticed he has a down-to-earth personality and my inkling was right on the nose when I met him personally. From day one, I was warmly welcomed by Asad at the airport. He checked my hotel room to make sure everything is perfect condition, treated for breakfast. What a guy! A friendly atmosphere and fantastic start. Second day, comes the GOAT, Azim, my personal tour guide, extremely good and very flexible, friendly as well. He has a warm personality, a highly motivated tour guide (recommendable!). He made me feel at home. On the 4th day of tour, I wasn’t feeling well, I was nauseous, dizzy & had flulike symptoms. He took actions into his own hands. He brought me to ER, stayed with me the entire duration until I was fully recovered. Who will forget that? All respect for Azim who did a great job. A true sample of excellent tour guide. Proceeded to the tour itinerary, the scenery of KKH is spectacular surrounded by humongous massifs, I was in awe! It’s enchanting, fascinating and extremely breathtaking landscapes. Couple of the world’s tallest mountains, the Nanga Parbat, 9th world’s highest (26,660 ft), Rakaposhi, ranked 27th along KKH & few glaciers are visible along the way. The world’s highest border crossing, the Khunjerab Pass, with elevation of 15,439 ft, an international high mountain pass between Pakistan & China. It’s awesome. Our driver is a guru to navigate & maneuver the treacherous roads of KKH. Kudos to Gypsy Traces & Tours, they helped me executed my dream into reality. Great job! Shoutout to Azim, Bakhsh and Asad. With their expertise I reached the pinnacle of my global adventure/journey.Show more

Asked on November 23rd, 2024Americans need visa & letter of invitation. Can you provide me the link or site to Pakistan visa application? Also, do you provide the letter of invitation? If all is well, am planning to visit Aug 2025.

Traveler•Written November 2024Am flabbergasted! That's great if you could provide free visas for US citizens! Hmmm! But how? You do all the legwork? Am willing to pay the visa fee, if am not mistaken it's $33.00. Ditto, are we going to see the border between Pakistan & China close enough to take photos?

Traveler•Written November 2024If that's the case then count me in. But weather wise, what is the best month to tour the place without weather obstructions? Ditto, do you have Mongolia tour as well? BTW, do offer single supplement?
- Gypsy Traces and ToursOperator•Written November 2024
Yes we offer single supplement as well. We offer tours to Pakistan, china, Tajikistan and Afghanistan only. Currently we are not doing magnolia.

Traveler•Written November 2024You're awesome! I could search it online but I want to hear from you since you probably live in Pakistan, you're more familiar with the weather conditions. So, what's the best month to visit Karakoram Highway without weather interruptions e.g. snowstorm or heavy rainfall? If I decided to join the tour, (well aside from payment) what legal documents do you need from me to process my tourist visa application?
- Gypsy Traces and ToursOperator•Written November 2024
The best time to do Karakorum Highway tour is from April to June and September to October. During these times you will not get flooding, harsh weather or road blockages. We can provide you with the following legal documents can be uploaded on the visa portal. - Visa Invitation/ sponsor Letter - Reservation - Pakistan ID Card - Tour voucher

Traveler•Written April 2025Just to clear my curiosity about what's going on between Pakistan and India…is the tourism industry in Pakistan not affected with the ongoing tension between the two countries? I was trying to book a flight but there's a popped up news feature about flights originating in India that can't fly over the Pakistan's airspace. I was thinking it might become a bigger issue in a few months and it might derailed the tour. Hope not. What do you think?
- Gypsy Traces and ToursOperator•Written April 2025
The situation at present is normal here. Though some diplomatic tensions exist but hopefully it will not escalate further. The areas that you have on your itinerary are far away from the boarders and we do not put our client's lives at risk. We will inform you in advance in case the situation so warrants.
