Tours / Skardu, Deosai, Shigar, Hunza, Attabad & Khunjerab
Skardu, Deosai, Shigar, Hunza, Attabad & Khunjerab
The full northern arc in twelve days — Baltistan and Hunza joined into a single unhurried traverse. It begins in Gilgit and runs east first: Skardu, the Deosai plains, the fort-town of Shigar. Then back west and north into Hunza — Karimabad and its forts, Attabad Lake, the upper valley villages of Gulmit and Passu, and a run to the Khunjerab Pass at the Chinese border, season permitting. Where the eight-day version of this journey chooses, the twelve-day version simply includes. Private vehicle, GreenPak guide, GreenPak houses in both valleys throughout. This is the itinerary we recommend to travellers making one long trip to the north rather than several short ones — it leaves very little unseen.

Small group, private transport, and time built in to slow down, with local guides who grew up in these valleys.
