Karakarum Valley Jeep Adventure
A Jeep-Safari across the northern of Pakistan excites the imagination. It is a journey through the corridors of history in a land of strong contrasts and fascinating people.
The most outstanding feature of our novel trips is that the latter not only visit cities and towns but also penetrate into isolated regions, over jeep-trails where only 4-wheel-drive vehicles can ply. These remote areas have not yet suffered too much from the clashes with modern culture. Isolation has preserved a way of life that has disappeared elsewhere. Here, one can still find traditional folk-life and cultures preserved in the festivals, customs and traditions of the friendly and hospitable peoples inhabiting these areas.
