[{"title":"Day 1: Islamabad","name":"Islamabad","description":"Welcome to Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital city. Translating as ‘City of Islam’, Islamabad was built in the 1960s to replace Karachi as the nation’s capital, though there’s evidence that humans have lived in the area for many thousands of years. Your expedition begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm but if you arrive earlier there are several sights worth checking out including Golra Railway Station, and the Lok Virsa Museum – dedicated to the preservation, documentation promotion of Pakistan’s cultural heritage. You may also wish to visit the historic Saidpur village, only a 20-minute drive away, which is over 400 years old and sits at the foothills of the nearby Margallas. The village is home to an old Hindu temple, a reminder of the different religions and cultures that once called this region home. After your welcome meeting, get to know your group and local leader over an optional dinner at your hotel. ","lat":"33.718229","lng":"73.061714"},{"title":"Day 2: Islamabad - Taxila - Islamabad","name":"Islamabad - Taxila - Islamabad","description":"Make the most of the opportunity to explore Islamabad with your fellow travellers. Your local leader will speak with you about the history of both Islamabad and Pakistan and be able to answer any questions about this oft-misunderstood destination. There’ll be a chance to shop for local clothes, so perhaps take the opportunity to buy a shalwar kameez – the traditional dress of loose-fitting trousers and a long shirt. Visit Faisal Mosque, which was the largest mosque in the world upon its completion in 1986 and is said to hold 10,000 worshippers, then head to the ancient site of Taxila. These World Heritage-listed ruins are evidence of over 500 years of cultural evolution influenced by Persia, Greece, and the spread of Buddhism. Enjoy a group dinner at Saidpur village. Included Activities: -<description>Islamabad - Faisal Mosque</description> -<description>Islamabad - Taxila Museum & archeological sites</description>","lat":"33.718229","lng":"73.061714"},{"title":"Day 3: Islamabat - Gilgit - Passu (2500m)","name":"Islamabat - Gilgit - Passu (2500m)","description":"Fly this morning from Islamabad to Gilgit, then travel north to Passu, a small town surrounded by mountains and glaciers. It sits by the famous Karakoram Highway, which is also known as the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway as it connects the two countries. This is an achingly beautiful part of the world and there’ll be several opportunities to stop and take in views of many 7000m peaks, including Rakaposhi. We will stay in Passu for the next 3 nights and use it as our base for exploring the region. Included Activities: -<description>Ghulmet - Rakaposhi View Point</description>","lat":"36.460384","lng":"74.894569"},{"title":"Day 4: Hunza Valley (2500m)","name":"Hunza Valley (2500m)","description":"Spend the day soaking up the atmosphere in Gulmit. Take a walk around the remote village and visit a carpet-weaving centre run by the local women. Visit an old house. You’ll also trek out to the ruins of Ondra Fort. The fort sits atop a rocky outcrop above Gulmit and would’ve commanded views of several strategically important passes in the area. It’s believed to have been built in the 16th century by a ruler named Qutlug Baig and, as if the historic ruins weren’t enough, there are phenomenal views of both the valley and the surrounding peaks. Return to our accommodation in Passu for the night. Included Activities: -<description>Gulmit - Ancient house visit</description> -<description>Hunza Valley - Ondra Polygah hike</description> -<description>Gulmit - Women-run carpet weaving center visit</description>","lat":"36.460384","lng":"74.894569"},{"title":"Day 5: Hunza Valley (2900m)","name":"Hunza Valley (2900m)","description":"Visit the Hussaini Hanging Bridge, described by some as the \"most dangerous bridge in the world\". Though the bridge’ s condition is questionable its location is enviable, suspended above Hunza river and surrounded by jagged mountains. Walk to Borith lake, which sits at an elevation of approximately 2,600 metres, and out to the impressive Passu Glacier. There’ll be plenty of time to relax and you’ll also see the photogenic Tupopdan (6,106 metres), which is known as Passu Cones or Passu Cathedral. Sample Passu’s famous apricot cake and yak burgers. In the evening we will give you a chance to get immersed in the melodious tunes of the region. A local band will play their local instruments, sing songs with you and show you some of their dance moves Included Activities: -<description>Hunza Valley - Passu Glacier hike</description> -<description>Hunza Valley - Hussaini Hanging Bridge</description> -<description>Hunza Valley - Borith Lake hike</description> -<description>Hunza Valley - Traditional music performance</description>","lat":"36.460384","lng":"74.894569"},{"title":"Day 6: Shimshal (3100m)","name":"Shimshal (3100m)","description":"Travel by 4WD to the remote town of Shimshal, which was inaccessible by road up until 2003. The road took 18 years to build and was constructed by the local community, who previously had to walk for several days to reach other parts of Hunza. Shimshal is so remote that state prisoners from Hunza were once exiled here as punishment. The locals are resilient and extremely hardworking people. A number of notable Pakistani mountaineers grew up here, which isn’t surprising given the rugged, mountainous terrain. The Shimshali are to Pakistan what the Sherpa are to Nepal, and perhaps the most famous Shimshali are Samina and Mirza Ali Baig, a brother- sister climbing duo. Samina is the first and only Pakistani woman to climb Everest (at the age of 21) and the Seven Summits. She also summited K2 in 2022.","lat":"36.435922","lng":"75.326642"},{"title":"Day 7: Shimshal (3100m)","name":"Shimshal (3100m)","description":"Spend the day exploring Shimshal and learn about the challenges that come with living in such an inhospitable environment. Meet the local families and hear their stories and struggles and take a hike for expansive views of the surrounding area. Almost every house in Shimshal is powered by solar electricity, as is the local school. Enjoy the mountainous surrounds, take some time to relax and acclimatise to the altitude and know that you’re experiencing a destination that few will ever get a chance to visit. Lace up those hiking boots and spend the day exploring Shimshal’s beautiful walking tracks. Remember, the locals once had to walk for days to get to the next town on paths that even yaks could not pass. We will be hiking to a view point to get an aerial view of the valley. Included Activities: -<description>Shimshal - Village tour & optional hike</description>","lat":"36.435922","lng":"75.326642"},{"title":"Day 8: Attabad Lake - Ganish Village - Karimabad (2500m)","name":"Attabad Lake - Ganish Village - Karimabad (2500m)","description":"Say farewell to the locals before returning to Passu by 4WD, a journey of approximately 3-4 hours. We will continue driving towards Karimabad from Passu in our private van. On the way we will make a stopover at Attabad lake and Ganish village.There’s a sad story lurking below Lake Attabad’s shimmering surface. The lake was formed in 2010 after a massive landslide that killed 20 people and displaced many thousands. The landslide essentially dammed the Hunza River for five months, creating a lake that measures some 21 kilometres across. Thankfully the dam held and the lake is now a popular tourist destination renowned for its insanely blue water. See it for yourself then explore Ganish, an ancient Silk Road settlement that received a cultural conservation award from UNESCO. In the evening we can visit the Karimabad market for some shopping. Karimabad is the commercial hub and capital of the Hunza region.

Today you’ll walk to Baltit and Altit forts, which have stood in the region for over 700 years and are a testament to the valley’s past strategic importance. These towns were crucial for controlling the ancient Asia trade routes and Baltit Fort holds a particularly commanding position above the village. These well-maintained forts were restored by the Aga Khan Foundation, which has also been working on several projects to empower local women’s groups. You’ll have lunch at a cafe run by local women. At sunset, drive up to Duiker for an unforgettable view of the surrounding mountains including – on a clear day – Rakaposhi, Ultar, the Bublimotin, and Spantik.\n Included Activities: -<description>Karimabad - Baltit & Altit Forts</description>","lat":"36.326407","lng":"74.664316"},{"title":"Day 10: Gilgit (1500m)","name":"Gilgit (1500m)","description":"Drive to Gilgit today after breakfast.

The museum is considered one of Pakistan’s finest and was featured in Rudyard Kipling’s novel ‘Kim’. Kipling’s father, John, was actually one of the first curators of the museum. You’ll have an opportunity to explore the Lawrence Gardens, now known as Bagh-e-Jinnah.
