Every valley of the North.

From the orchards of Gahkuch to the great peaks above Skardu. These are the places we know best — and the list keeps growing.

1,780M

Gahkuch

Where we call home.

The heart of Ghizer and the base of our operations. Orchards, river valleys and the quiet rhythm of mountain life.

Phander, Ghizer — Gilgit-Baltistan
2,926M

36.28°N 72.47°E · GHIZER

Phander

Quiet turquoise waters. High mountains.

A journey worth slowing down for. The Gilgit river bends through meadows and still, glassy pools beneath the peaks.

Hunza, Hunza — Gilgit-Baltistan
2,438M

36.32°N 74.65°E · HUNZA

Hunza

The valley that everyone remembers.

Rakaposhi on the skyline, ancient forts above the terraces, and autumn colour that turns the whole valley gold.

Skardu, Baltistan — Gilgit-Baltistan
2,228M

35.30°N 75.63°E · BALTISTAN

Skardu

Gateway to the great peaks.

Cold desert, mirror lakes and the road toward the giants of the Karakoram. The launch point for Baltistan's wildest country.

Ghizer Valley, Ghizer — Gilgit-Baltistan
2,100M

36.20°N 73.50°E · GHIZER

A valley of rivers and light.

Following the Gilgit river west toward Shandur — trout streams, poplar avenues and villages few travellers reach.

Shandur, Ghizer — Gilgit-Baltistan
3,700M

36.08°N 72.55°E · GHIZER

Shandur

The roof of the world's polo ground.

The highest polo field on earth, a wide green plateau between Ghizer and Chitral, ringed by open sky.

Naltar Valley, Gilgit — Gilgit-Baltistan
2,900M

36.16°N 74.18°E · GILGIT

Naltar Valley

Pine forests and painted lakes.

A short drive from Gilgit into alpine forest, ski slopes in winter and the famously coloured Naltar lakes.

Fairy Meadows, Diamer — Gilgit-Baltistan
3,300M

35.39°N 74.58°E · DIAMER

Fairy Meadows

Face to face with Nanga Parbat.

A green shelf beneath the ninth-highest mountain on earth. The last stretch is on foot — and worth every step.
