The Enchanting Valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan
From serene verdant sanctuaries to towering ice-crowned peaks, your adventure starts where the two converge. Take in the emerald beauty of the Astore Valley, resting in the gigantic shadow of Nanga Parbat-the ” Killer Mountain”-as pristine pine forests give way to the lush rolling slopes of wide alpine meadows. Journey deep into the heart of historic Baltistan and explore the river valleys of Ghanche, Shigar, and Skardu, the magnificent gateways to world-famous glaciated environments and monolithic granite behemoths that have inspired generations of intrepid explorers.
Travel further north to experience the deeply etched cultural history, explosion of seasonal color, and renowned local hospitality of the Hunza Valley. Hugged by famous mountain-defining peaks including Rakaposhi and the Passu Cones, Hunza offers a soothing sense of ancient silk road history, sweet terraced orchards, and inviting local communities that embrace every guest.
