Overview

This is the definitive heritage journey through northern Pakistan, following the ancient Grand Trunk Road. From Mughal Lahore you travel to the serene capital Islamabad, the Gandhara Buddhist heartland of Taxila, and on to Peshawar — one of South Asia’s oldest cities, with its storytellers’ bazaar, historic mosques and unmatched frontier atmosphere.

Peshawar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa carry a fluctuating security profile, so we monitor advisories closely and plan responsibly. A superb circuit for heritage lovers; priced on request.
