Our Goal
To make Gilgit-Baltistan as easy to travel as it is beautiful — one quotation, one contact and no surprises on arrival. A traveller should be choosing between valleys, not chasing six separate bookings.
About Pahardi Travels
Who We Are
Pahardi Travels grew out of a camera and a set of valleys. Muhammad Khan, known as Pahardi (پہاڑی, “of the mountains”, also written Pahari or Pahadi), began filming the north and posting it; the requests to come along arrived on their own. The company exists to answer those requests properly rather than informally. This website, paharditravels.com, is the official home of Pahardi and its tours.
Today we run private tours across the whole of Gilgit-Baltistan, from a three-day drive to Naran to a fourteen-day expedition up the Baltoro Glacier to K2 Base Camp. Most of our travellers are Pakistani: families from Lahore and Karachi seeing Hunza for the first time, groups of friends chasing the April blossom, couples who want Skardu without assembling six separate bookings. A growing number are overseas Pakistanis and foreign trekkers coming for Deosai, Rush Lake and Concordia.
Alongside the tours we book hotels, run our own fleet, and handle visa documentation for international guests. We also work the other direction: ticketing, umrah and outbound travel for people who live in these valleys, which is a quiet but steady part of the year.

Our Mission
Our Goal & Mission
Our Mission
To run trips that put money into the valleys we travel through: local drivers, local guides, family guesthouses and porters paid the going rate. And to be honest about the north — its seasons, its roads and its limits — because the people who come back are the ones who were told the truth first.

Muhammad Khan, who most of Pakistan knows as Pahardi
“Turning journeys into stories & landscapes into memories. Tour organizer & your companion to nature’s hidden gems.”
Pahardi films and organises trips across Gilgit-Baltistan, and the channels below are where most of our travellers find us first. If you have watched a reel of Attabad, Rama or the Passu Cones in the last year, there is a fair chance it was his.

Why Choose Us
The Pahardi Travels Difference
Private, Never Shared
Every tour is private: only you and the people you book with, in your own vehicle, on the dates you choose.
Clear Prices
Each tour shows its price in every travel category, and your quotation lists exactly what is included. Air tickets are quoted separately.
Local by Default
Our drivers and guides are from the valleys they work in. That is why we can find a room in Karimabad in August and reroute within an hour when the KKH closes.
Bad News Early
Deosai is open only in summer. Skardu flights cancel. Some roads close. You hear all of it before you pay, not after.
Money Stays in the Valleys
Local hotels and guesthouses, local jeeps at local rates, porters paid the going rate rather than the lowest one.
One Number, Answered
The WhatsApp number on this site is the one that works while you are on the road, not a switchboard.
