A full day of adventure above the tree line. Paddle across the calm Borith Lake, hike to the face of the Passu Glacier, then cross the legendary Hussaini Suspension Bridge — with an optional zipline over the gorge. Watch the sun set behind the Passu Cones.

Begin with a boat ride across the famous turquoise Attabad Lake, then drive all the way to Khunjerab Pass — the roof of the Karakoram at 4,693m on the China border. Descend for lunch and apricot cake at Glacier Breeze Restaurant before settling into Hunza for the night.

Explore Hunza's rich history at the thousand-year-old Altit Fort and its manicured Royal Gardens. Step inside an ancient Altit home to see traditional Hunza architecture, then spend the afternoon at the hillside Cafe de Hunza and browse the Baltit handicraft market.

Explore the magnificently restored 700-year-old Baltit Fort with a guided tour, then enjoy a leisurely lunch at Hunza Pavilion. In the afternoon, drive up to the Eagles Nest viewpoint for sweeping sunset views over Rakaposhi, Lady Finger Peak and the full Hunza Valley.

A long but scenic transfer day through Gilgit-Baltistan's most dramatic landscape. Stop at the Rakaposhi View Point where tectonic plates visibly collide, break for lunch in Skardu, and arrive at the royal Khaplu Valley by evening.

A full day in the hidden gem of Baltistan. Visit Khaplu Fort, the Chaqchan Mosque — oldest in Baltistan at 700 years — and drive up to the Masherbrum View Point for a close-up of K6 (7,821m). End the afternoon in the vast spring blossom gardens of Machlu and watch sunset at the Haldi Cones.

Drive to Shigar for a morning stop at the Barah View Point blossom gardens before exploring the beautifully restored Mughal-era Shigar Fort. After lunch inside the fort, head to the Shigar Desert for afternoon adventure — motor-gliding, quad biking and jeep safari available at own expense.

After breakfast, transfer to Skardu Airport for the flight to Lahore. Spend the afternoon exploring the Mughal grandeur of Old Lahore — Badshahi Mosque, Delhi Gate, Wazir Khan Mosque and Baithak Saddequin — before a farewell dinner at Haveli Restaurant on the New Food Street. Drop-off at Allama Iqbal International Airport by midnight.
