Customer Reviews
- Roger· May 2nd, 2025I chose Exploria for my 2 week tour of Lahore, Islamabad and Gilgit-Baltistan based on online reviews and Arif’s responsiveness and can-do attitude in planning my trip. The success on the ground of any trip like this really depends on the availability of support from the company during the tour, the standard of accomodation and the quality of the guides. It proved to be a very enjoyable and I have some fantastic memories, so thank you to the Exploria team. Fareed, my guide in Gilgit-Baltistan was very good - he’s a local, has been doing this for years and has friends and contacts everywhere. He was flexible, patient and knowledgeable, with excellent English. The mountains are stunning, especially during blossom season, and I strongly recommend both him and this area. My guides for my initial 3 days in Lahore and Islamabad were less good - not knowledgeable about the sites visited, or at least unable to communicate what they did know due to lack of fluent English. My first guide was also late meeting me at the Wagah border. The hotels were all clean and comfortable. Exploria were in regular contact with myself and the guides throughout the tour. They established a WhatsApp group so that they were on call for any issues that did arise, such as arranging last-minute car transport following the cancellation of my Gilgit-Islamabad flight. With the benefit of hindsight, I have a few suggestions for anyone planning to go this area in March-April. Firstly, although the blossom is beautiful and it was very uncrowded, it is very early in the season in the mountains - not all facilities are open and many hiking trails may be inaccessible due to snow. Secondly, think very carefully about including flights to or from Gilgit - the cancellation rate due to bad weather is high and the alternative road-trip to Islamabad (nearly 15 hours in my case), on frequently awful roads, is not fun. Thirdly, I was in Lahore/Islamabad during Ramadan, and although there was no restriction on me eating or drinking, it was hot and by mid-afternoon energy levels amongst those who were fasting understandably dropped; their focus was on sunset and the breaking of the fast. Finally, don’t apply for a Pakistan e-visa too early - a 90 day visa expires 90 days after it is issued, regardless of your travel dates; also, keep a hard copy handy at all times as it is checked frequently.Show more
- Eric· April 27th, 2025Exploria PK arranged a 10-Day solo custom tour to Skardu and Hunza for me in April. The landscape of Gilgit-Baltistan region is breathtakingly spectacular. And local people, young and old, are super friendly. I think everyone should visit this region at least once in his/her lifetime. My tour guide Fareed is native to this region. He is very knowledgeable of the local history and attentive to my needs. He also knows places where very few western tourists visit. I enjoyed the trip very much and I plan to come back in the future. I highly recommend Exploria PK and Fareed.Show more
- Scott· April 5th, 2025The staff at Exploria is supportive and flexible. Guides are diverse and friendly. Everyone involved made for a most enjoyable tour of this scenic wonderland. A special shout out to Nabeel, my skilled driver who got me from Islamabad to Gilgit in one day!Show more
