— FREQUENTLY ASKED —
Before you book.
-
What exactly is included in the "from PKR" price?
Accommodation (twin-share) as per the tier you pick, a private vehicle with driver, fuel and tolls, daily breakfast, an English-speaking tour lead, entry to standard sightseeing stops per the itinerary, and 24/7 desk support from Lahore. What is not included: lunch and dinner, entry tickets that need photocopies (managed separately), personal expenses, tips, and travel insurance.
-
How do I confirm a booking?
A 50% advance secures your dates and the vehicle. The balance is due seven days before departure. We accept bank transfer to our Explore Immigrations account (details shared on inquiry). Once the advance clears, you receive a confirmation email with the itinerary, vehicle details, driver contact, and the tour-lead's WhatsApp.
-
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Rescheduling to different dates within the same season is free once, subject to availability. Cancellation refunds work on days-before-departure: 30+ days = 75%, 15–29 days = 50%, 7–14 days = 25%, less than 7 days = no refund. Force-majeure events (border closures, road blocks, government advisories) trigger a full credit for another trip within the year.
-
Can we customize this itinerary?
Yes — extend a day, swap a hotel, add a heritage stop, upgrade the vehicle. Use our Trip Builder for a live custom estimate, or WhatsApp the tours desk with what you have in mind and we come back with a revised proposal the same working day.
-
What should we pack?
Layers matter more than bulk. Even in July, Northern-Pakistan evenings drop to 8–12°C at altitude. Bring a windproof outer shell, a fleece or light down jacket, comfortable walking shoes with grip, a hat + sunglasses (UV is intense), sunscreen SPF 30+, and a reusable water bottle. Any prescription meds, plus paracetamol and rehydration salts. Detailed packing sheet is shared once you confirm.
-
What is the weather like?
Peak summer (May–September) is our recommended window: 15–25°C in the valleys, 5–15°C at altitude, dry mostly, occasional afternoon showers. Winter (November–March) brings road closures on Babusar and Naran-Hunza routes; only Skardu-by-air and southern sections stay accessible. If you have flexibility, June and September are our sweet spots — light, colour, and empty roads.
-
Do you accommodate families with young kids?
Yes — a significant share of our bookings are families. We adjust the pace, book family rooms where hotels allow, and pick vehicles with real luggage space. Share the ages of children in the Trip Builder or your inquiry and we plan around them (short driving days, snack stops, softer altitudes if under six).
-
How do you handle emergencies on the road?
Every vehicle carries a first-aid kit, a satellite-signal-boosted phone, and the driver's home-district contacts. The Lahore desk stays reachable on WhatsApp 24/7 during your trip. If a road closes mid-route, we reroute the same day or overnight at the best nearby hotel we can secure. Medical evacuation is arranged via Rescue 1122 or private ambulance depending on location.
