The tour begins with a foodie stroll along Melody Food Street in Islamabad, followed by visits to several historic sites including the Faisal Mosque, Taxila’s truck art, and forts at Khaplu and Shigar. After these cultural stops, the pace changes with a five-day trek on the Thallay La Trail, a route once the only link between the old kingdoms of Khaplu and Shigar.

Along the trek, travellers camp each night beside streams, glaciers and grazing yak, accompanied by local porters. There are no permanent campsites, so it’s a rustic experience without showers, though the crew provide warm water and organic soap. The days pass with glimpses of mountain life in remote villages and the climb to Thallay La Peak.

Throughout, a G Adventures Chief Experience Officer leads this small-group trip, balancing scheduled activities with the flexibility needed for travel in such a region. The route covers a part of Pakistan few visit, yet the itinerary is clear enough to follow without an overabundance of unknowns.
