    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?
