4.5 out of 5 from 2 reviews
The drive up the Karakoram Highway was spectacular, and our driver knew every viewpoint, including the spot where the three mountain ranges meet. Sunset from Duikar was the highlight of the whole trip. Standing at Khunjerab Pass with snow in September felt unreal.
Baltit and Altit forts were beautifully kept, and the Hoper Glacier day was better than I expected. Babusar Pass was still closed, so we went via Chilas, which made for a long day, but the team explained the change well in advance.
Yes, but high-altitude areas like Khunjerab Pass may be challenging for very young children.
We take the alternate route via Chilas on the Karakoram Highway.
Only breakfast is provided; lunch and dinner are at your own expense.
No, but you must carry your original passport/ID for border checks.
May to October offers the best weather and open roads.
