Itinerary

Arrive Islamabad – Narran /Besham

Morning flight to Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital city. At the airport, you will be met by “Rock Valley Tours” and begin the 28km drive to Taxila, the ancient capital of Buddhist Gandhara civilization which is regarded as one of the most important archaeological sites on the sub-continent. Here we will visit the ruins of a former city (Sirkup), a hill-top former monastery and the splendid site museum that contains artefacts excavated from the sites. Among these are gold and silver coins from the time of Alexander the Great (326 BC). After lunch, we head towards the Karakoram Highway (KKH) via the beautiful lush green valleys of Mansehra District. The highway was a joint project between Pakistan and China and took 20 years to complete and during its construction 300 Chinese and 600 Pakistani workers lost their lives. An overnight stay at a motel. (4-5 hour drive, 200 km).

Besham/ Narran - Gilgit (Meet the Indus River)

You will have an early morning drive to Gilgit, the capital of Pakistan’s Northern Areas. At Thakot, we cross a Chinese-made bridge and enter the Indus River gorge. For centuries this branch of the Silk Route was used by the traders and Buddhist missionaries. There are many rock carving sites dating back to that time, including the carvings at Shatial. After lunch at Chilas, we stop at Thalichi, the best view point of Nanga Parbat (8125m) the 9th highest peak in the world and the second highest in Pakistan after K2 , which is also known as the Killer Mountain. There are also spectacular views of Rakaposhi (7788m) and the Haramosh Range from the same spot. As we drive north we reach the meeting point of the world’s three highest mountain ranges – the Karakoram , Himalayas and the Hindukush. At this amazing place the Gilgit River also joins the mighty Indus. We follow the Gilgit River to Gilgit and an overnight stay at a hotel. (9-10 hours, 320 km).
