Gilgit-Baltistan Tour Packages from Lahore by Road

Gilgit-Baltistan is the northern mountain region of Pakistan, home to Hunza, Skardu, Fairy Meadows, Deosai and some of the highest peaks on earth. A Gilgit-Baltistan tour from Lahore is a by-road trip through these valleys in an AC bus with a licensed operator.

This is Pakistan's crown of mountains, where the Karakoram, Himalaya and Hindukush ranges meet. Within one region you can find the turquoise Attabad Lake in Hunza, the blue lakes and cold desert of Skardu, the green meadows facing Nanga Parbat, and the vast Deosai plains, all connected by the famous Karakoram Highway.

Because Gilgit-Baltistan is so large, most travellers pick one or two areas per trip rather than trying to see everything at once. Travelon Today runs affordable by-road tours to each destination from both Lahore and Islamabad, so you can choose the valley that suits your days and budget. Use the guide below to find the right tour for you.
