Hi. I'm planning a trip to the northern areas but I'm confused about whether I should visit Hunza only, Skardu only, or both together. I'll be traveling from Karachi, so I have around 12 days in total (8 days from Islamabad).

I've shortlisted Travel With Smile and 0KM Tour Planners. 0KM offers both a Hunza and Naltar package and a Mega Trip covering Hunza and Skardu. I also found this Travel With Smile itinerary that covers both Hunza and Skardu in 8 days from Islamabad.

For those who've been there, does this 8-day itinerary look reasonable, or will it be too rushed? What would you recommend?

I seriously need... a break...

Looking for recommendations for a 7-day trip from Karachi with a group of 3–5 friends. Budget is roughly PKR 60–70k per person (including transport, accommodation, food, and sightseeing).

We're after experiences, not luxury:

​

​

​

- Beautiful landscapes

​

- Road trips

​

- Hiking/viewpoints

​

- Lakes, rivers, forests, mountain streams

​

- Local food

​

- Places where we can keep exploring instead of sitting in one hotel all day

​

​

​

We're leaning toward train or public transport, since renting a car + fuel is getting ridiculously expensive.
