The Baltit Fort has now been restored by the Aga Khan Foundation. The Fort lies on a rocky outcrop at the base of the Ultar Nala.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to travel in Pakistan?

It is a fair question to ask as we know that most of the news from Pakistan is not so positive, but the image which people have abroad is far from the reality. Although there have been valid reasons for people to consider Pakistan as not very safe, a lot has changed in recent years. The security situation has improved dramatically and the government has been making efforts to promote tourism and facilitate travel. When you visit you will notice immiediately that Pakistanis are very hospitable people, they are eager to get to know you and often will invite you in their home. Pakistan is a huge country, we only offer tours and treks to areas which we deem safe. We currently don’t recommend to travel to the border region with Afghanistan and certain parts of Balochistan but most other places can be visited without any problem. If you prefer to start with the safest region then we would recommend Gilgit-Baltistan in the north, the people here largely depend on tourism for their income and have been warmly welcoming foreign tourist for many years.

What kind of travel insurance do I need?

This will depend on the type of tour that you are planning. Please make sure to consult your travel insurance before your trip to make sure you have proper coverage for your tour and the activities you will undertake. Especially when you go on a trek it is important to have mountain emergency search and rescue / repatriation by helicopter included in your insurance package.

Do I need a visa for this trip?

For all trips to Pakistan you will require a visa, depending on the the type of tour you will either need a standard tourist visa or a trekking visa. Our sales team will provide you with all the necessary information as well as a visa invitation letter and related supporting documents after you have booked your tour with us.
