Group Leader & Support Staff
Pakistan tour group will be led by an experienced culture Guide. During the trek, the group will be accompanied by a full support crew.
A complete Pakistan tour involves going to very high altitudes. During your trip, you will be above 4,000 metres for 1-2 days. This is not something you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but we must follow some simple rules to acclimatise successfully.
Climate
From mid-June to August, we can expect to encounter temperatures as high as 40°C at Karachi, Multan and Lahore, and 25°C in The Gilgit Baltistan Region. The weather is generally good throughout the summer season, with clear skies and little rain or snow. However, weather in mountainous areas is difficult to predict, and short-lived storms can occur at any time of the year.
