MEAL PLAN
ACCOMMODATIONÂ
During the Shimshal Pass Trek, the group will spend nights in clean tents and good International tourist standard hotels. Accommodation at each of the tents and hotels is twin-sharing with en-suite facilities. If you are travelling by yourself, you will be paired with another single client of the same sex. It is possible to hire a single tent and a room for an additional cost. Additional hotel nights in Islamabad are also available. For hotel prices and single supplement costs, please refer to the dates and prices page of the trip on our website. Hotels are subject to availability, and prices may vary.
HEALTH & VACCINATION
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you specifically require any vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK, e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis is discretionary for this trip. Malaria exists in the area around Islamabad. However, incidences of urban transmission of malaria are extremely low. On holidays to more remote areas, you should also have a dentist check-up. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro. Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime-biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available; therefore, the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take precautions to avoid mosquito bites
INSURANCE
We highly recommend that you have adequate travel insurance for your Shimshal Pass Trek with Trango Adventure Pakistan. We recognise the complexity and variety of choices in the insurance market and know that many of you either have your preferred insurer or have annual multi-trip cover in place already. If this is the case, please ensure that your insurer is aware of your Trango Adventure Shimshal Pass Trek itinerary and can agree to cover the activities being undertaken.
Trango Adventure does not provide any advice on travel insurance, although it is highly recommended that you have travel insurance which covers the activities you are likely to undertake on your holiday.
It is strongly recommended that suitable cancellation insurance is purchased when booking, as all deposits (Royalty Fees) for the Expedition are non-refundable and non-transferable.

ALTITUDE
Shimshal Pass Trek involves going to a high altitude. During your trip, you will be above 3,000 metres for 1-2 days. This is not something that 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. Before coming on this holiday, you should get some basic advice on Tours and Treks at high altitudes.
CLIMATE
From mid-June to August, we can expect to encounter temperatures as high as 40°C at Islamabad, Multan and Lahore, and 25°C in the Gilgit & Baltistan regions. The weather is generally good throughout the summer season with clear skies and little rain or snow. However, the weather in mountainous areas is difficult to predict, and short-lived storms can occur at any time.

Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. You should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport for the country that you visit.
PAKISTANÂ VISA
All nationalities require a visa to enter Pakistan. The visa fee is approximately GBP 60, and you must apply for it before departure. To obtain a tourist Visa for Pakistan, you will require a letter of introduction from an approved agency, which Trango Adventure will provide.

The packed weight of your trek bag whilst trekking, including your sleeping bag and mattress, should be no more than 20 kg. This limit, which is set by the porters, is strictly enforced, and bags will be weighed before setting off on the trek. Anything not required on the trek can be left at the group hotel in Islamabad.
