Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with my exclusive 14-day group trip to Pakistan! Join 8-16 like-minded travellers from across the world and discover the hidden gems of this extraordinary country. I've teamed up with Aatir Virani from Classic Travels (a subsidiary of Apna Trip), a local Pakistani travel company, and together we have crafted the perfect itinerary. Picture yourself glamping under the starry skies of Deosai National Park, waking up amidst the enchanting Fairy Meadows with the view of mighty Nanga Parbat, and ziplining with Rakaposhi's majestic peaks as your backdrop. Traverse the rugged Miachar Valley in a thrilling jeep ride and take in the breathtaking mountain peaks and Minapin glacier at Kho View Point. Challenge your limits by crossing the Passu Suspension Bridge and marvel at the surreal beauty of the Passu Cones. But it's not just about the adrenaline rush; it's about sharing these experiences with your new besties. With all accommodations, three delicious meals daily, and activities included, you can focus on creating memories and forging friendships that will last a lifetime. 

I'm a 23-year-old solo traveller from Sydney, Australia. I've been travelling ever since I graduated high school and fell in love with it. I thrive on seeking out unique experiences, often diving headfirst into the unknown just for the thrill of it. Last year, I decided to document my travels through a digital travel diary, sharing travel tips and stories. Over time, it's transformed into a platform that motivates individuals to step out of their comfort zone, embark on incredible adventures, embrace solo travel, do everything for the plot and simply be their authentic self. 

If you are an adventure seeker looking to travel to a country off the beaten path, eager to step outside of your comfort zone and immerse yourself in Pakistan's diverse culture, and seeking to embark on a trip of a lifetime while making lifelong friendships. You need to be at least 18 years old before the start of the trip. 

We try to stick to the itinerary as much as possible but this is an adventure trip and it may change based on conditions on-ground (weather/ political changes). If changes are required, travellers will be informed accordingly. We may choose to discuss with the group but the final decision will be of the host & trip leader. We ensure that all decisions made by the host or trip leader will be in the common interest of the group.  

If flight gets cancelled due to weather, we may have to travel by road. We'll try our best to cover as much as possible but some experiences and destinations might get skipped.
