About this trip

Designed for British-Pakistani families: four flexible days at your family home in Punjab, Mirpur or wherever you are heading, then a fully organised seven-day northern circuit through Murree, Naran and Hunza with drivers, hotels and guides arranged.

Most British-Pakistani families fly home every couple of years, spend the whole trip in one town, and never see the north — because organising it from the UK is a headache and organising it from the family home is worse. This package solves that. We book your flights, hold your first four days completely free for family, and then take over: a private vehicle collects you from your family's address, and for the next seven days everything is handled — Murree and the Galiyat, the Kaghan valley, Lake Saif-ul-Malook, Babusar Top, Hunza and Attabad Lake. Children are welcome and the pace is gentler than our full Karakoram tour. You choose your own departure date, and the family days can be anywhere from Mirpur to Multan.

Trip highlights

  • Four completely free days for family — we book nothing, you go where you need to
  • Private vehicle collection from your family's address anywhere in Punjab or AJK
  • Murree, Nathia Gali and the Galiyat pine forests
  • Lake Saif-ul-Malook and the Kaghan valley
  • Babusar Top at 4,173 m
  • Hunza valley, Attabad Lake and Baltit Fort
  • Any departure date you choose — this is a private tour, not a fixed group
  • Child-friendly pacing with shorter driving days than our 14-day Karakoram tour

Visas and practical information

Visa requirements

Most clients on this package are British-Pakistani dual nationals travelling on NICOP or POC, which needs no visa. Family members on British passports without NICOP need a Pakistan e-Visa (7–10 working days), which we prepare for you.

Allow around 14 days for processing — book with that in mind.

What to pack

  • Leave luggage space for gifts both ways — PIA's 2 × 23 kg allowance helps
  • Warm layers for Babusar Top even in July
  • Modest clothing for the north; villages are conservative
  • Children's medicines, as brands differ locally
  • Wet wipes, snacks and travel-sickness tablets for the mountain roads

Frequently asked questions

Can we change the number of family days?

Yes — this is a private tour. Two family days and nine in the north, or eight family days and three in Murree, whatever suits. Tell us at inquiry and we rebuild the itinerary and the price.

Will you collect us from a village address?

Yes. Our drivers collect from anywhere in Punjab or Azad Kashmir, including villages. Send us the address at booking and the driver calls the day before to confirm.

Is it suitable for elderly parents?

The Murree and Kaghan sections are gentle. Babusar Top at 4,173 m is a short stop rather than a walk. If mobility is limited, tell us and we will substitute the Hunza domestic flight for the long KKH drive.

Can we book flights only for some family members?

Yes. We routinely book different flight dates for different family members on the same tour — for example, parents staying six weeks while the children return after two.

What if we already have flights booked?

We sell the seven-day northern circuit as a land-only package too. Ask for the land-only price when you inquire.
