Flying home for a holiday up North
We run private family tours to Hunza, Skardu and Gilgit-Baltistan for families coming in from Singapore, the Gulf and the UK. Islamabad airport pickup is included, the northern leg is by air rather than an eighteen-hour drive, and the pace is set for a group travelling with parents and children rather than for two people in their twenties.
Do not fly north on the day you land
The domestic flight to Skardu leaves Islamabad early, and Skardu sits at 2,230 m. Arriving off a long-haul flight and boarding another one before dawn is how the first three days of a holiday get spent recovering. We build in a night in Islamabad first. It costs one day out of ten and it is the single piece of advice we give most often to families flying in.
Packages built for a family group
Each is priced as one total for the whole group sharing a private vehicle, not per person. Domestic airfare is quoted separately, because airlines charge per seat.

Why these work for three generations
Fifty minutes, not eighteen hours
The flight to Skardu replaces a full day on the Karakoram Highway. Weather dependent; timings and routing may change according to the airline, so we keep a road fallback on every by-air package.
Shorter driving stages
Sightseeing is grouped so nobody sits in a vehicle for six hours. The rough jeep sections, Deosai in particular, are optional rather than built into the route.
Airport pickup at both ends
Islamabad on arrival and Skardu or Gilgit for the domestic leg, both included. Send your flight number on WhatsApp and a driver meets you in arrivals.
Paying from abroad
Bookings are confirmed with a 30% advance to reserve hotels and the vehicle; the remaining 70% is due at least 3 days before departure. Quotes and availability are handled over WhatsApp, usually within 30 minutes.
