Our Trekking

Our trekking routes are the ones we know best — the passes and side valleys around Skardu that most itineraries never reach. They range from valley walks you could do with a reasonable level of fitness to multi-day crossings over high passes.

Several of these are routes we have scouted and written up ourselves, with day-by-day itineraries you can read before you commit. Where a full itinerary exists, the trip links straight through to it.

  • Routes from valley walks to high-pass crossings
  • Day-by-day itineraries for our own scouted treks
  • Local guides from the valleys you walk through
  • Camping equipment and permits arranged
