Family holidays

Holidays the whole family enjoys

Travelling with children, parents or grandparents changes everything about a trip — the pace, the rooms, the food stops and how long anyone can sit in a car. We plan for that from the start.

  • Shorter driving days, with an overnight break on long routes
  • Family rooms or connecting rooms where available
  • A spacious, comfortable vehicle with an experienced driver
  • Easy sightseeing and child-friendly stops, with flexible free time
  • Destinations that suit mixed ages: Swat, Hunza, Naran, the Galiyat

Couples & honeymoons

Private, unhurried trips for two

A honeymoon in the north should feel calm and special, not rushed. We keep hotel changes to a minimum, choose rooms with views and plan quiet moments — sunrise at Eagle’s Nest, a boat on Upper Kachura, a forest lodge in Nathia Gali.

  • Private car and driver throughout
  • Handpicked rooms at the level you choose, from charming guesthouses to the best resorts
  • Lakeside and heritage stays such as Attabad, Shangrila, Shigar or Khaplu
  • Flights to Skardu or Gilgit to save driving time

Private group tours

Friends, cousins, colleagues — your own group

Travel with your own people and nobody else. We size the vehicle to the group — from a 4×4 for five to a coaster for twenty — and plan a route that balances everyone’s interests.

  • One clear per-person cost, agreed in advance
  • Room-sharing arrangements to suit your group
  • Bonfires, camping nights and adventure add-ons on request
  • A guide for larger groups, so logistics are handled

Corporate & student trips

Retreats, study tours and university groups

We organise trips for companies, schools, colleges and universities — from a day out in the Galiyat to week-long study tours in Gilgit-Baltistan.

  • Coasters and buses for larger groups, with experienced drivers
  • Clear budgets and staged payment schedules for organisations
  • Group meals, team activities and meeting space where needed
  • Coordination with your team lead throughout the trip
  • Hiking events and outdoor activities for teams and students

Adventure & nature

Hikes, meadows, camping and high lakes

For travellers who want to walk, camp and get further from the road. We match the challenge to your fitness and arrange jeeps, porters and guides where needed.

  • Fairy Meadows and the Nanga Parbat Base Camp
  • Rama Lake in Astore, Ratti Gali in Neelum
  • Kundol Lake in Swat, Manshi Top from Sharan
  • Camping on Deosai in summer
  • Day hikes near Islamabad: Mushkpuri, Miranjani and the Margalla Hills

By-air tours

Fly north, save the long drive

Flights from Islamabad to Skardu and Gilgit take about an hour, turning a two-day drive into a morning. They are ideal when time is short or for elderly travellers.

  • Skardu by air: Shangrila, Kachura, Shigar, Deosai and Khaplu in 5–6 days
  • Gilgit by air for Hunza in 4–5 days
  • Fly one way and drive the other to see the Karakoram Highway too

Mountain flights are weather-dependent and can be cancelled at short notice. We always plan a road back-up and recommend a spare day before international flights. Read road trip or by-air tour?

Weekend getaways

Short breaks from Islamabad and Lahore

Not every trip needs a week. These are our favourite one- to three-day escapes:

  • Murree & the Galiyat — the Pipeline Track, Mushkpuri and Nathia Gali
  • Sharan Forest — a night in the pines and a sunrise hike
  • Shogran and Siri Paye in the Kaghan Valley
  • Pir Chinasi above Muzaffarabad, or Toli Pir and Banjosa Lake in Azad Kashmir
  • The Salt Range: Khewra Salt Mine and Kallar Kahar
