Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrival In Lahore
Location: Lahore
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Nishat Hotel or similar
Welcome to Pakistan! Upon arrival into Lahore, you will be met and transferred to your hotel.
Lahore may not be Pakistan’s capital city, but it is considered the cultural, intellectual and artistic hub of the country. If history and architecture are your passion, there is an interesting mix of formidable Mughal monuments to faded legacies of the British Raj. Even a ramble around the Old City can unfold into a mini-adventure. Lahore also has qawwali (Islamic devotional singing) and Sufism (Islamic mysticism) for those in search of spiritual sustenance.
Later this afternoon, you will visit the old city or walled of Lahore. This is known as the city’s historical and cultural core. Dating back over 1000 years, the western part of the wall was originally mud during the medieval era. The Walled City was bestowed with numerous monuments during the Mughal era, with some of Lahore’s most iconic structures being located in the Walled City, such as the lavishly decorated Wazir Khan Mosque which you will also visit today, the massive Badshahi Mosque, and the Shahi Hammam.
In the evening, explore the Fortress market area of town (dinner not included). A bustling area with many eateries, cafes and entertainment areas. Take in an evening view of the Royal Mosque.

You will visit Raj Katas temple, a complex surrounding a pound named Katas, which is regarded as sacred by Hindus and is located along the motorway near Kallar Kahar.

The local people are a pagan minority which used to be as large as 20,000 people but is now only 3000-4000 with many converting to Islam. As such, this minority group is now hardly given any rights and is no longer recognised as a separate entity. There are small handful of NGO’s working in this area to preserve this tribe and our travels here also assist in helping keep this diminishing culture alive. The Kalash people are white skinned with golden brown hair and blue eyes and also are polytheistic believing in 12 Gods and Goddesses. Crows are considered to be the ancestors of gods, are frequently fed with their left hand at a number of places including tombs.
After checking in at your guesthouse, explore the village with your guide where you experience a true insight into this fascinating and very proud culture. Spending time with a local kalash family in their village home where we have a cultural exchange – your guide will act as a translator and you are welcome to ask any questions you like about the culture, religion and lifestyle and vice versa – the local tribes people may do the same.

The rectangular stronghold sits at the foot of the Ulter Glacier and commands a view of the Hunza Valley and its tributaries—a strategic position for controlling the trans-Karakoram trade route between South and Central Asia.

This 30km long lake was only formed in 2010 after a massive landslide dammed the Hunza River completely, its fresh, crystal clear water is mesmerizing. In January 2010, a massive landslide blocked the flow of River Hunza, creating a natural dam and burying 20 people beneath it. The rising water displaced thousands of residents and submerged countless villages, fields, orchards a well as a 19-kilometre stretch of the Karakoram Highway. In 2012, a spillway was created to release a steady flow of water and as the water receded, it revealed the villages that had been buried beneath. It is only now that people have started returning to rebuild their homes and lives. It is a fascinating area to explore.
Continuing on, you will visit the Passu Glacier before continuing to Khunjerab Pass which is the border between China and Pakistan which offers some of the countries most impressive scenic drives.

Known as the most perilous bridge in the world, the Hussaini Suspension Bridge may look dangerous, however, it is a comparatively benign bridge and attracts hikers challenging their nerves as they prudently work their way across.
This afternoon you will hike to Lake Borit lying above the village of Hussaini. You can admire the views of two glaciers and two different lakes during this hike.

Today’s drive will continue through the Kagan valley and onto the Karakorum Highway, arriving at the capital of Pakistan – Islamabad. A late 20th century capital city, Islamabad is laid out in straight lines and right angles: a proud metric showcase of government and administration.
Enroute, you will visit South Asia’s richest archaeological sites, Taxila. A fascinating place for those who have an interest in Buddhism and the art of Gandhara. The city excavations, most of which are found around the museum, are open to the public, along with dozens of smaller sites over a 25-sq-km area.
Gandhara is the historical name for the Peshawar Plain, and Taxila has always been one of Gandhara’s more important cities. In the 6th century BC, the Achaemenians made Takshasila (Taxila) the Gandharan capital, at a site now called Bhir Mound. In 326 BC Alexander the Great paused here en route to India. The Mauryan emperor Ashoka, a patron of Buddhism, built a university here, to which pilgrims and scholars came from all over Asia. In about 180 BC, Bactrian Greeks developed a ‘new’ Taxila, at the site called Sirkap.
In the 1st century AD came the Kushans, building their own city at the Sirsukh site. Until the 3rd century Taxila was the cultured capital of an empire stretching across the subcontinent and into Central Asia. It was the birthplace of a striking fusion of Greek and Indian art, and also the place from which Buddhism spread into China. The city fell into obscurity after it was destroyed by White Huns in the 5th century. The modern-era excavation of the site was led by Sir John Marshall between the years of 1913 and 1934. (B)
