Day by Day Itinerary
8-day planKarachi to Islamabad
Fly in, airport pickup, rest or a short capital city round. The arrival team checks the flight time before dispatch and confirms the hotel transfer, local contact details and the next departure at the briefing.
Max altitude 540 mIslamabad to Chilas
Travel north on the Karakoram Highway with scheduled comfort and viewpoint stops. This is a long mountain-road transfer, so meal and washroom stops are planned around daylight, traffic and the route that is actually open. Before this day ends, the guide confirms the preparation and departure time for Chilas to Karimabad in the Hunza Tour Package from Karachi: 8 Days itinerary.
Max altitude 1,265 mChilas to Karimabad
Stop at selected mountain viewpoints before an evening walk in Karimabad Bazaar. The Indus corridor, Nanga Parbat viewpoint and Rakaposhi viewpoint are considered en route, with stops selected according to visibility and safe parking. Before this day ends, the guide confirms the preparation and departure time for Heritage day in the Hunza Tour Package from Karachi: 8 Days itinerary.
Max altitude 2,438 mHeritage day
Heritage day. Timing remains flexible enough to respond to local access, weather and the confirmed interests of the travellers. For Heritage day on day 4, heritage stops involve stairs, stone lanes and short walks; the order can change with opening hours and traffic, while the guide keeps the main cultural visits in the programme.
Max altitude 2,850 mAttabad to Gulmit
Boating and Hussaini Bridge; overnight upper Hunza. At Attabad Lake, any boating stop proceeds only when wind, lake conditions and the selected operator allow a safe departure. For Attabad to Gulmit on day 5, lake activities and stopping points are selected from current weather, access and crowd conditions; comfortable shoes and a light warm layer are useful even when most of the day is vehicle based.
Max altitude 2,500 mKhunjerab Pass
Travel through Khunjerab National Park to the Pakistan to China border, subject to road and weather conditions. Khunjerab is a high-altitude excursion with limited services, so the vehicle leaves early and guests carry water, warm layers and identification.
Max altitude 4,693 mReturn drive
Gulmit to Chilas / Besham. The final transfer keeps a sensible buffer for the agreed train or flight time, while any optional stop depends on the remaining daylight and traffic. For Return drive on day 7, driving time can change with road work, landslides, traffic and seasonal pass access; water, medication, identification and a warm layer should remain in the day bag.
Max altitude 1,265 mIslamabad to Karachi
Arrive Islamabad, evening flight home (or next morning). For Islamabad to Karachi on day 8, the arrival team checks the flight time before dispatch and confirms the hotel transfer, local contact details and the next departure at the briefing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you book our flights?
Yes: we book Karachi to Islamabad (and optional Gilgit) flights at cost on your behalf.
What if our flight is delayed?
The itinerary carries buffers on both ends and your driver tracks your flight: day one flexes automatically.
Is this tour completely private?
Yes: your own vehicle, your own driver, and departure on any date you choose. No strangers, no fixed seats, and the daily plan flexes to your pace.
Can the trip begin at Gilgit Airport?
Yes: fly Islamabad to Gilgit (tickets booked at cost) and we start the itinerary from the airport, trimming the road days. A road backup is always planned in case mountain weather cancels the flight.
What happens if a domestic flight is cancelled?
Mountain weather cancels a share of Gilgit and Skardu flights, so every fly-based plan carries a costed road backup that activates automatically: you may lose a day, never the trip. Road-based itineraries are unaffected.
Is Khunjerab Pass included?
Yes: the itinerary includes a Khunjerab Pass day (4,693 m, China border), open roughly May to late November. In winter we substitute Naltar Valley snowscapes.
Which hotels are used?
Named properties are confirmed on your quote; expect well-reviewed standard hotels, with deluxe and luxury upgrades available at booking. See our Hotels page for the full 65-hotel partner list and per-night rates.
Is this package suitable for children?
Yes: drive legs are broken with rest stops, family rooms are booked, and daily plans flex around nap and meal times. Car seats available on request.
Is the tour suitable for senior travellers?
Yes with reasonable mobility: vehicle access covers nearly every highlight, walking is optional, and we pace days generously. Tell us about any conditions and we’ll adapt the plan.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Completely: add or drop days, swap valleys, change hotel tiers or start cities; it’s your trip and re-quoting a custom version costs nothing.
