Through the eyes of our travellers
We will begin our tour in Pakistan’s green capital, Islamabad, a pretty town nestled along the foothills of the Himalayas. It is a bustling place full of handicrafts stores, boulevards leading to parliamentary buildings, restaurants buzzing with diplomats and journalists, and roads that promise the great mountains beyond.
We will fly from Islamabad to Gilgit, a 35 minute flight over the three greatest mountain ranges in the world. Make sure to get a window seat as this is one of the most beautiful flights you will ever take.
We will explore Gilgit, a big city at 5000 ft., before we head on to conquer the legendary Karakorum Highway.
From Gilgit, the 10,000 ft. bicycle challenge begins. That’s 10,000 ft. vertically, and there are just a handful of people in the world who have accomplished it. You are going to join their ranks.
We’ll make sure you get ample rest, and a whole day to relax in the middle, but by the time you’re done, you will be at 15, 400 ft above sea level, raising your arms in victory at one of the world’s highest, most famous mountain passes.

No. Your tour begins in Islamabad on the day of the tour and ends when we get back. We have found that this is really the best option for you. Arrangements can be made for extra hotel accommodations upon request. The hotels we use on the first and last day of the tour are usually close to the airport. We suggest arriving a couple of days early to get rid of that jet lag. We can help book hotels and figure out the transport for any extra days you want to spend in Pakistan.
