We have made all attempts to make these programs as accurate as possible. However, in circumstances beyond our control, changes may occur. We, therefore, reserve the right to change itineraries, carriers, and substitute hotels where necessary. We guarantee that, where possible, establishments of similar categories and standards will be used.

All Northern Area flights in Pakistan are subject to weather and backload conditions and thus operate on an ad hoc basis. Should the reserved flight not operate on the day scheduled as per the itinerary, alternative surface transportation will be arranged. If any additional costs are involved due to this change, these will have to be paid for locally.
If the tour is canceled by the tour operator, only the deposit received from the passenger(s) will be refunded as full and final settlement.
All prices are stated in United States Dollars or GBP and are based on conversion rates prevailing at booking time. Significant changes in the value of the Dollar or Pound in relation to various currencies or a drastic increase in the cost of land/air services may necessitate an increase in the tour cost.
However, once the tour is paid in full, you are guaranteed against future price increases, provided no change is made by the passenger(s) to the original booking.

They are the most reliable for the road conditions in Pakistan and are easily repaired along the route you will be taking. They are themost commonly used vehicles for tourism in Pakistan.
Other vehicles like Toyota Hilux and Pajero can also be arranged on request but are about three times the cost. Please do not expect European standards. Transport constitutes a large portion of any program cost for travel in Pakistan.
We select our cooks through a rigorous screening process to ensure premium service quality for each trip. Most of the cooks working with us have at least 5-10 years of experience working as cooks for trekking and mountaineering expeditions.
They are also trained in Western cuisine and hygiene and come from the valleys where the treks take place. We offer a large variety of diets, generally mixing local and Western food.
For both treks and expeditions, we provide breakfast cereals, tins of meat, cans of orange juice, coffee, chocolate, snacks, and local food like Chapati, green tea, lentils, and fresh vegetables.
There is a wide range of accommodation throughout Pakistan and the Northern Areas, from simple camps to five-star hotels. We use all types, and you might stay in anything from tented camps to first-class hotels. However, most of our itineraries’ costs are based on double occupancy rooms in hotels.
Single rooms are available on most trips, although a supplement is payable. For your convenience, the single supplement price will be quoted against each program.
All our treks, expeditions, and tours cover most costs from Islamabad until you finish your holiday back in Islamabad. There will be little opportunity for you to spend your money except to buy soft drinks and snacks. Additionally, we advise you to keep cash money for airport taxes, porters, guide, cook and staff tips, souvenirs, and other personal expenses.
The tour operator and its agents act only as agents for the owners and/or contractors providing the services and means of transportation specified in the itineraries.

The operator and/or its agents assume no responsibility in any way in connection with any injury, damage, death, loss, accident, or delay through the acts of default of any company or person engaged in carrying out the arrangements of the tours.
No responsibility is accepted for any additional expenses due to delay, omissions, rerouting, changes in schedule, or other events resulting from improper health certificates or travel documents, or as an act of government or authority, or any local conditions such as weather, seasonal variation, labor strikes, civil disturbances, political unrest, and acts of God.
If you have a complaint about your holiday, you are required to confirm details of any such complaint or problem in writing, supported by appropriate evidence, within 15 days of returning from the holiday in question. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not accept any liability or address any complaints received by us later than 15 days after your return from the holiday.
You will receive a comprehensive clothing and equipment list tailored to your trip in a dossier. We regularly review and update these lists based on feedback to ensure they are current and comprehensive. Each item on the list is described, but don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions or need assistance finding any items. Strict adherence to the equipment list is crucial for your trip.
To confirm your trip, you must pay 40% in advance, with the remaining 60% due upon arrival in Pakistan. Submitting an application alone won’t reserve a space.
