Nanga Parbat Base Camp Trek

From the Karakoram Highway at Raikot Bridge, a jeep track and a short walk bring you to Fairy Meadows — an alpine meadow of pine forest facing the Raikot Face of Nanga Parbat (8,126 m), the ninth-highest mountain on Earth.

Rakaposhi Base Camp Trek

3,500m

Price: $950
Difficulty: Moderate
Duration: 6 days
Season: spring, summer, autumn

A short trek from our home valley. From the village of Minapin, the trail climbs through apricot orchards and pine forest beside the Minapin Glacier to Tagaphari, the meadow at Rakaposhi Base Camp. Rakaposhi (7,788 m) and Diran (7,266 m) rise straight above camp. It is a good first trek in the Karakoram, or an acclimatisation trek before a bigger objective.

Hunza Valley Cultural Trek

2,900m

Price: $650
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: 5 days
Season: spring, summer, autumn, winter

Our gentlest trip, run from our home in Karimabad. Day walks link Hunza's villages, orchards and water channels with its 700-year-old forts, ending each day in a hotel. You get big Karakoram views — Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar and the Passu Cones — without high-altitude camping. It suits most fitness levels and runs in every season.
