Take a step back in time on this tour of Pakistan
Get off the typical tourist trail on this adventure in Pakistan which combines breathtakingly beautiful hikes along ancient Buddhist pilgrim routes, with a wealth of cultural experiences and local interactions. Discover the beautiful Hunza, Chitral, & Kalash Valleys, set amongst the backdrop of huge mountain peaks and explore villages which are some of the oldest settlements on the Silk Road.
Pakistan has one of the most accessible mountain landscapes anywhere in the world, housing three of the worlds highest mountain ranges. In the Hunza Valley, you can sit on the terrace of your hotel and experience the incredible views of the surrounding 7000m peaks. Like its landscape, Pakistan also has incredible cultural diversity, including the earliest Buddhist temples, and the Kalash peoples, whom still maintain their pagan lifestyle and rituals, handed down from the decedents of Alexander The Great's army, that passed through these valleys over two thousand years ago.
(Available as a small group tour or tailor-made holiday)
To learn more about the world class hiking in Pakistan, you can read our journal post here.
From the 1st century BC, to the 8th century AD, the Buddhist pilgrim route started from the city of Kashgar and went across the western Karakoram, through Yasin valley to Chitral and finally ending in Swat, the main Buddhist center at that time. While the monasteries and monuments have not survived, the path from Ghizer to Chitral remains.
This easy trekking tour offers unmatched diversity of cultural experiences and connections with local cultures. The first part of this trip takes us to Hunza Valley through villages that have been in existence for thousands of years. We continue to an ancient pilgrims path in Ghizer valley, surrounded by 6000m peaks. We cross the Thui Ann pass to Chitral valley. Chitral was an isolated valley and in winter used to be cut-off from the rest of the country until the creation of a tunnel in 2009. This isolation has created a diverse set of cultures, most interesting of which is the non-muslim Kalash people spread across three valleys.

The next couple of days give us an opportunity to connect with the local culture. Eric Shipton called Hunza ‘the ultimate manifestation of mountain grandeur’ and at 2400m (7847ft) surrounded by towering peaks, Hunza is indeed a place of ‘ethereal beauty’. The backdrop of Hunza is the Ultar peak 7388m(24,288ft); across the valley we can see the Rakaposhi 7788m (25,551ft) and to the east lies Spantik (known as Golden Peak on this side of the valley).
Embark on a cultural day trip in Hunza Valley, starting with a visit to the historic Baltit Fort where the Mir of Hunza resided until the 1950s and may arguably the most dramatically situated fort you will ever see. Built originally in the 8th Century, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage pending list since 2004.
Continue to Altit Fort, the original seat of the Hunza state and the oldest monument in Gilgit-Baltistan dating from over 1100 years ago. According to local lore and history, white Huns soldiers from Alexander the Greats' army were the first human settlers in Altit on their return from China. It is said that these were the ancestors of the Khanu Kuts tribe of Altit. Presently, the majority of households of this tribe still live within the ancient settlement of Burum Khan. To this day, the Khunu Kuts retain the status of Saath Guy; which imparts the important privilege of initiating any activity, event, work, festival within the village.
From here we drive to Duikar for sightseeing with o Eagle Nest View Point with its incredible 360 views of high peaks in all directions, including six peaks over 7,000m (23,000ft), the Baltit and Altit forts as well as the confluence of the Hunza-Nagar Rivers.

Ondra is the name of a hill, and also the name of an ancient fort, while Poygah in the local Wakhi languages means "stair" or "step". The Ondra Poygah, thus, is the name given to over 1600 steps built by the local community to connect Gulmit village to the Ondra fort.
Finally, enjoy a scenic boat ride on the vivid blue waters of Attabad Lake before heading back to Hunza. A massive landslide in 2010 blocked the flow of Hunza River for 5 months, and created this 12mile long lake. The village of Attabad is now under water and over 6000 people were displaced.

For every client and guide who attends a YellowWood Adventure, we donate £30 to our partner charity WeForest to plant 15 trees to (over) compensate for the carbon footprint of the tour.
We also invite our clients to match this with an optional additional £30 for another 15 trees to be planted to help compensate for the carbon footprint of their international flights.

Accommodation
We fully believe in, and practice, Responsible Tourism, using hotels run by locals. The accommodation on this adventure is comfortable and welcoming hotel accommodation offering rooms with ensuite facilities. We put time and effort into building our relationship with accommodation suppliers to ensure you have a great trip.
We choose accommodation based on cleanliness, comfort, safety, proximity to our route (to avoid unnecessary extra travel) and a warm client welcome, as well as reliability in their service to us. Wherever we can we will choose smaller, more characterful, individual hotels, but in areas where tourism is still developing, or in remote areas (like the mountains), we may not have a wide range of options. An aspect of our adventures is to escape the ‘trappings’ of modern Western lifestyles and to experience new things with are exciting and memorable and reflects the countries we are visiting.
Facilities
Unless you have booked a single room (where they are available) and paid the single room supplement for those nights, you will be sharing a twin room with another client (of the same gender).
This is adventure travel and on occasion the advertised services at a hotel (eg wifi, or hot showers!) may not be functional on our arrival. This tends to occur in the smaller, more remote hotels, guest houses or camps. Very rarely a hotel lets us down and we are required to find alternative suitable accommodation that might not be our first choice.
Guiding & Your Group
Supporting you on your holiday will be a local, English-speaking, qualified guide who knows the area like the back of their hand, as well as the history & heritage of the area!
We work jointly with our Pakistani Tour Operator partners both before and during your adventure to ensure that they understand your needs and the standard that YellowWood Adventures expects. We believe that it is a very important positive aspect of Responsible Tourism, to employ the expertise of reliable and suitably qualified local suppliers, as well as offering you a much more informative and authentic experience.
Your Group
Your group will be any number from our minimum group size of 4, up to a maximum of 12 fellow travellers. This number works really well with the ratio of guides, and ensures the optimum level of service to you during your adventure.
We get clients booking alone, as couples and in small groups of friends. If you have a group of friends or family who are interested in having their own customised trip, then please let us know and we can cost it for you. Our links with in-country travel experts often mean that we can assist you in developing a personalised itinerary.

You are visiting the Himalaya / Hindu Kush / Karakoram Range, and although you will only be walking through valleys between the mountains, you will be walking at altitude between 3000 and 4000m.
