Pakistan In Depth Exploratory Tour

Twenty-three days across Pakistan, from the crowded streets of Karachi in the south to the high valleys of Hunza and Skardu in the north. It's a proper in-depth route, taking in ancient archaeology, Mughal architecture and Sufi shrines before heading up into the mountains.

The first half is cultural and historical — Sindh and Punjab's UNESCO sites, mosques and forts. Then the trip turns north into Gilgit-Baltistan, where the pace slows and the scenery takes over: terraced valleys, turquoise lakes and peaks including Nanga Parbat.

This is a long, ground-level look at a country most people never get to see this way, with plenty of time built in for both history and landscape rather than rushing between the two.
