Tour · 10 nights · with G Adventures
A small-group escorted tour by G Adventures combining Lahore’s cultural buzz with a five-day trek on Pakistan’s ancient Thallay La Trail through the Karakoram Mountains.
Highlights
Five-day trek along the Thallay La Trail in the Karakoram Mountains
Visit to Khaplu Palace and Shigar Fort
Street food tours in Lahore and Islamabad
Wagah Border Ceremony at Lahore
Exploration of Badshahi Mosque and the Walled City of Lahore
This 10-night tour by G Adventures pairs the urban energy of Lahore with a three-night stay in Islamabad and a five-day trek along the Thallay La Trail in Baltistan’s Karakoram Mountains. The trail, once a link between Khaplu and Shigar’s old kingdoms, remains little trodden apart from shepherds and the occasional trekker.

The route moves from city to mountain village, with visits to Khaplu Palace, Shigar Fort and the forts at Thoqsi Khar. Between trekking days, you’ll watch goats and yaks pass by camp, and meet local traders much as they would have travelled centuries ago. Lahore adds a contrasting pace, with time for the food stalls of Melody Street Food and the grand scale of Badshahi Mosque and the Wagah border ceremony.
Travelling in a small group of up to 12, with support from local porters and guides, this tour visits places few tourists have seen and combines a cultural introduction to Pakistan with genuine mountain walking. The long internal flights and tough trekking might not be the easiest leg of every holiday, but the route is a distinctive one.
