Day trips from the capital
Murree, the Galiyat, Taxila and a full circuit of Islamabad itself — out after breakfast and back the same evening, with the vehicle yours for the whole day rather than shared.

Into the mountains
A tour package is a private vehicle and a mountain-experienced driver assigned to your itinerary for the length of the trip, whether that is a single day in the Galiyat or a fortnight through Gilgit-Baltistan. Twenty-five itineraries are already mapped, and any of them can be rebuilt around your dates.
Who books this
Written for travellers who want the north without surrendering control of it: honeymooning couples, photographers chasing light rather than schedules, families with grandparents who need a gentler pace, and overseas visitors with three weeks and no intention of spending them on a coach with forty strangers.
What it covers
Each part below is booked through the same conversation — you do not need a separate arrangement for any of them.
Murree, the Galiyat, Taxila and a full circuit of Islamabad itself — out after breakfast and back the same evening, with the vehicle yours for the whole day rather than shared.
Two to four nights covering Naran and Kaghan, the Swat valley up to Kalam, or Neelum in Azad Kashmir. Long enough to reach real mountains without needing a fortnight of leave.
Five days and upward for Hunza, Nagar, Skardu and Deosai, taking the Karakoram Highway properly rather than rushing it. These are the trips that most need a driver who has done the road before.
Cherry-blossom weeks in Hunza, winter snow runs, heritage circuits through Taxila and Kartarpur, and religious travel — each shaped by when the destination is actually at its best.
The vehicles
For two to four people heading north the Prado is the sensible default — high enough for rough surfaces, comfortable across long days. Longer Baltistan trips justify the Land Cruiser V8, while a family of eight or a photography group with equipment travels better in the Hiace.
Why it holds up
Mountain plans that cannot flex are plans that fail. Your driver carries the authority to reorder a day when a pass is shut or a valley is under cloud, rather than driving you to a viewpoint you will not see.
Babusar, the Skardu road and the KKH beyond Chilas are not motorway driving. We assign from a small group who know those surfaces, the fuel stops and where the phone signal disappears.
Stopping for an hour at Attabad Lake is your decision to make. Nothing about the day is negotiated with other passengers because there are no other passengers.
We would rather tell you a five-day Hunza trip is tight than sell it and have you spend the week in the car. The itineraries say what they actually contain.
Step by step
The whole sequence happens on one thread with a real person, usually inside a few minutes.
Tell us your dates first, because the dates decide the destination. Babusar in April and Babusar in July are entirely different propositions, and we will say so.
Pick a mapped route or describe what you want to see, and we will lay out a realistic day-by-day plan with driving hours you can actually live with.
One figure covers the vehicle, the driver, his food and lodging, fuel and every toll for the whole trip. Your own hotels and meals stay yours.
Leave from your door on the agreed morning. Days can be reshuffled en route as conditions dictate, without the price being reopened.
Coverage & reach
Our tour work fans out along three broad corridors: the Murree and Galiyat hills within a couple of hours, the Kaghan and Swat valleys at a day’s reach, and Gilgit-Baltistan up the Karakoram Highway. Azad Kashmir sits on its own road east through Muzaffarabad.

Pricing & inclusions
How the figure is set
Tour pricing follows the vehicle, the number of days and how hard the roads are — Deosai punishes a vehicle in ways the M-2 does not, and that is reflected honestly rather than hidden. Send your dates and rough plan and a total for the whole trip comes back.
Customer feedback
We do not publish sample testimonials, buy ratings, or attach a customer’s name to copy we wrote ourselves. Nothing appears in this section until a real passenger has completed a real booking and told us we may share what they said.
That means this space is empty rather than persuasive, which we accept. A business whose entire offer is “the price we tell you is the price you pay” cannot credibly start by inventing praise for itself.

It depends entirely which north you mean. The Galiyat and Murree work all year, Kaghan and Babusar open roughly from June to September, and Hunza is spectacular in April blossom and October colour. Give us your dates and we will match a destination that is genuinely at its best.
No, and we are deliberate about that. Accommodation preferences vary enormously and marking up a hotel booking helps nobody. Our figure covers the vehicle, driver and everything he needs; you book rooms to your own taste and budget.
Yes — the custom itinerary builder exists precisely for that. Describe what you want to see and how long you have, and we will lay out a workable route with honest driving hours rather than squeezing it to fit.
It is possible but tight, and you will spend a lot of it moving. Six or seven days lets you actually stop in Karimabad and reach Khunjerab without the whole trip feeling like a drive. We will tell you when a plan is too compressed.
The itinerary gets reshaped around it. Landslides and weather closures are a normal part of mountain travel here, and your driver will take the recognised alternative or reorder the remaining days. Nothing about that reopens the price we agreed.
Yes, and it is worth saying up front so the route reflects it. Shorter driving days, lower altitudes and gentler roads make a real difference — the Galiyat and Murree circuits suit far better than a punishing haul to Deosai.
Drivers know the routes, the stopping points and the practicalities extremely well, and most travellers find that is enough. If you want formal guiding at heritage sites, tell us in advance and we will arrange it separately rather than pretending the driver is a licensed guide.
Tell us the trip and a real person confirms a fixed price, usually within minutes.
