Tour Overview
OVERVIEW:
This 16-days Gilgit-Baltistan photography experience is planned to explore some of the most panoramic and scenic landscapes of Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan. Gilgit-Baltistan is a widespread region with matchless beauty having both snow caped and naked mountains, lush green meadows, cultural heritage sites, glaciers and many more. We have tried to cover most of them on this excursion.
This journey starting from the 2nd most beautiful capital of the world “Islamabad” moves into the 8th wonder of the world “Karakoram Highway”. The first spot of Gilgit Baltistan would be Chilas valley, then to Gilgit and up to Skardu then to Hunza valley and its beautiful surroundings. The trip provides an opportunity to get aware of the unique culture and heritage of Gilgit-Baltistan, and to taste fresh featured fruits along with the distinctive and tasty local dishes.
This voyage is for all those who are passionate about photography and nature. It doesn't necessarily need you to be a professional photographer, and we only take you to some of the best spots in the region with proper arrangements then it is on you to bring the artist in you.
We are native of Gilgit-Baltistan having well-trained experienced professional local tour guides and other staff leading our excursions which ultimately contributes in the livelihood of people without compromising on the quality of the services. We look forward for the honour to having you catching the wonders of the natural beauty of Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan with us.
