Luxury Camping Expeditions

It is hard to put into words how much of an amazing time I had exploring Northern Pakistan with Crossroads Adventures. My communication with Sultan began back in 2020 when my trip was originally due to take place. Covid delays meant I couldn’t travel until now but Sultan was extremely flexible and accommodating regarding new dates which was very appreciated. Communication was always efficient and in excellent English which is helpful when arranging travel plans. I travelled for 12 days around the northern areas and saw some of the most incredible nature I’ve ever experienced. Throughout my trip I was accompanied by Sultan most of the time, also his brother Hassan and cousin Nawaz. We began the trip exploring Fairy Meadows and trekking to Nanga Parbat base camp which was a massive highlight. After a few days we moved onto exploring the Hunza area including Karimabad. The most special part of my trip was staying with Sultan’s family for a few days in the village of Ghulkin . Using there as a base, I got to explore glaciers, mountains and attend a traditional Islami wedding. The last few days were spent travelling back to Islamabad and I had a wonderful day in the city with Nawaz I was treated like family and welcomed with open arms where ever I went There are always safety concerns travelling as a solo female but I felt comfortable and safe throughout my trip. Sultan planned my itinerary to suit my ideas, needs and budget. I chose to stay in more budget friendly accommodations, most of which were basic and comfortable. Transport was also very comfortable and the AC was very appreciated in the hotter regions. I am vegan and Sultan, Hassan and Nawaz all helped to make sure I ate suitable food and never went hungry. I cannot recommend Crossroads Adventure if you want to experience the incredible nature, culture , people and hospitality that Pakistan has to offer. Thank you again for such an amazing adventure, I cannot wait to return one day.
