Tour to Astore and Nanga Parbat Base Camp Trekking Tour.
Skardu, Hunza, Astore, and the Deosai Plains represent the pinnacle of Pakistan's natural beauty, offering an unparalleled journey through some of the world's most dramatic landscapes. This circuit in the Gilgit-Baltistan region is a tapestry of towering peaks, serene valleys, and vast, untouched wilderness.
Skardu, often called the gateway to the world's highest mountains, serves as the starting point for expeditions to K2 and the Trango Towers. Beyond mountaineering, it's a place of stark, arid mountains meeting the turquoise waters of the Indus River.
The ancient Skardu Fort (Kharpocho Fort) overlooks the valley, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history, while the nearby Shangrila Resort, with its unique pagoda-style restaurant, provides a tranquil escape.
A journey to the Hunza Valley is like stepping into a fairytale. Framed by the formidable peaks of Rakaposhi and Ladyfinger, Hunza is famous for its vibrant apricot orchards, which burst into bloom each spring. The ancient Baltit and Altit Forts, perched high above the valley floor, narrate centuries of the Mirs of Hunza's rule. The vibrant culture and the stunning views of Attabad Lake—a striking blue body of water formed by a landslide—make it a must-visit destination.
Astore is a quieter, more secluded district that offers a raw, unfiltered experience of mountain life. It is the perfect base for exploring the Rupal Valley, which leads to the base camp of Nanga Parbat, the "Killer Mountain." The region is known for its lush green meadows, dense forests, and clear rivers, making it an ideal spot for trekking and camping away from the more crowded tourist spots.
Finally, the Deosai Plains, the "Land of the Giants," are a high-altitude plateau that transforms into a sea of wildflowers in the summer. It's one of the highest plateaus in the world and a critical habitat for the endangered Himalayan Brown Bear. The vastness of Deosai, with the serene Sheosar Lake at its heart, offers a profound sense of solitude and natural grandeur that is hard to find anywhere else on earth.
Together, these destinations offer a journey that is as much about natural wonder as it is about cultural immersion, showcasing the diverse and breathtaking beauty of Northern Pakistan.
