We can organize our trekking trips in Pakistan —Mazeno-La and Batura-Lupdur— between mid-June and late September. If you love adventure and the mountains, keep reading because I think you might be interested in these options.
WHAT IS THE PLAN?
These trekking trips focus on interacting with the rural population and exploring areas rarely visited by Westerners. The difficulty level can be described as medium-high, as completing the routes requires several days of hiking through high-mountain terrain and tackling significant elevation gains above 3,000 and 4,000 meters. To enjoy these excursions, you must be in good physical shape, know how to handle unexpected situations, and have an adventurous spirit.
We have sought out routes through remote mountain areas, far from the relative crowds of the Baltoro trekking route, so that we can experience the essence of Pakistan’s mountains. More than just a physical challenge, these trips focus on learning about the culture and society in the villages and temporary settlements of the Himalayas and the Karakoram.

ABOUT PAKISTAN
Pakistan is a country defamed by the international media. The skewed information that we receive has contributed to sowing a countless number of prejudices in the depths of our culture. The radical islamism, sponsored by arab countries, occupies a very small part of the Pakistani society, but it is the only aspect that comes up in the news.
Our purpose is to offer a broad, transversal vision and fair as possible in this Asian country, in this case of society and culture that still exists in the mountains. Pakistan’s soul is its people: generous, noble and kind. If you’re curious and you rush to live this experience will definitely change your way of thinking.
For more information, please see our articles “¿Es seguro viajar a Pakistán?”, “Historias de Pakistán 1” y Basureros de Pakistán. I also recommend that you check out our movies 1000 cups of tea. Memories of Chapursan, Shpodeen 11 and Khima Nashin. These documentaries premiered in theaters and are now available on the Videoclub INDOMITUS.
