Overview
This is the grand tour — two weeks to experience Pakistan’s astonishing depth without rushing. A typical route weaves Mughal Lahore, Sikh Punjab, the Gandhara Buddhist heartland of Taxila, the modern capital, and a substantial mountain leg in the Karakoram (Hunza and/or Skardu), with room for the surprises that make a trip memorable.
Because fourteen days offer real flexibility, we design this one closely around your interests — heritage-heavy, mountain-heavy, or a true blend — with comfortable hotels, strategic flights and expert guiding throughout. Priced on request as a bespoke journey.
Entry requirements differ by nationality and change over time — especially for Indian passport holders and the Kartarpur Corridor’s separate permit system. We check the current rules for your documents before anything is booked.
