Many Pakistan trips quote a low headline price, then add domestic flights, meals, permits or a better vehicle on top. Ours don't. One price covers your Islamabad–Skardu flights, handpicked boutique hotels, every meal, a private 4x4 with an experienced driver, a professional English-speaking guide, permits and park fees – and on treks, a full camp crew with mess and toilet tents. Only international flights, visa, travel insurance and tips are extra.
