Overview
Eight days across Pakistan's greatest mountain corridor — from Lahore through Naran and over Babusar Top, deep into Skardu's Karakoram triangle of Basho Valley, Deosai Plains, and Khaplu, then back through the Kunhar River valley. This is the trip for those who want to see it all: ancient forts, glacial lakes, the world's second-highest plateau, and two of Pakistan's most dramatic mountain passes — all at road pace so nothing is rushed.
Highlights
- Lulusar Lake & Babusar Top (4,173m) twice — inbound and outbound
- Basho Valley by jeep — Skardu's lush hidden valley
- Deosai National Park (4,114m) — Sadpara Lake & Sheosar Lake glamping
- Khamosh Waterfall & Manthoka Waterfall en route to Khaplu
- Khaplu Fort, Chaqchan Mosque & Shigar Desert sunset
- Optional river rafting near Naran on the return leg
