G Adventures Spotlights New Pakistan Tours

G Adventures is launching its first trips to Pakistan later this year.

Available to book now, the three new Pakistan small group tours take travelers to the unique landscapes and communities in Pakistan. G Adventures developed the immersive trips by working with local communities, many of which have never had access to the travel chain.

“While tourism to Pakistan is increasing, we saw that many locations and communities are still being overlooked,” said Yves Marceau, vice president of product at G Adventures. “When launching in a new destination, we always have communities at the heart of our product development, and wanted to look at ways we could bring tourism income to the local people of Pakistan, offering cultural and social interactions with locals in a way that is sustainable and beneficial to these communities.” 

Two of the three Pakistan itineraries are active journeys, and part of the 25 active tours G Adventures announced for 2025. The third is aimed at travelers 18 to 39 years old. 

“Every G Adventures trip gives travelers the chance to share and learn from locals about life in their community,” said Marceau. “Pakistan is a beautiful country and there’s so much to learn from the people who live here. We’re excited to help travelers explore more of it.”

G Adventures’ New Pakistan Trips

Pakistan: Lahore & Hiking the Karakoram Mountains

This 11-day adventure takes travelers on a journey from Islamabad to Lahore via the rugged Baltistan mountains and the hidden path of the Thallay La trail. The nature of the trip means there are plenty of active days, with pulse-quickening treks to mountain villages, but it’s also a trip for peaceful moments and quiet reflection – appreciating the scene of grazing animals, glittering glaciers and crystalline streams, meeting locals and shepherds along the way. A night in the Shigar fort, now a luxury hotel, provides the perfect end stop, before meeting local artists in Islamabad’s truck art workshops and time exploring the walled city of Lahore.

Priced from $2,879* pp with departures from 1 July 2025.

Pakistan: Hike the Karakoram Mountains

This slightly shorter nine-day trip skips the sites of Lahore and instead focuses on time in the capital of Islamabad and the ancient Thallay La Trail that’s located deep within the Baltistan mountains. There’ll be steep ascents, spellbinding vistas and tranquil moments, as the group strolls amongst meadows of grazing yaks and goats. There’ll be a sunrise summit of Thallay La Mountain and a celebratory moment with the group, and the local Thallay Valley porters, chefs and guides who helped the group reach this crescendo. After several days of camping, a night in the historic Shigar Fort, now a luxury hotel, is the ultimate treat, before it’s off to Islamabad to learn about truck art and tuck into tasty Pakistani street food.

Priced from $2,499* pp with departures from 1 July 2025.

Pakistan: Karakoram Highway, Local Eats & Village Life

Aimed at travelers aged 18 to 39, this 13-day trip is a thorough journey through the hidden gem of Pakistan. The trip takes travelers from Lahore to Islamabad, with gentle mountain hikes, pauses in mountain towns and delicious lunches with families along the way. The trip blends active adventures – like traversing the Passu Glacier – with opportunities to meet local entrepreneurs, including the female founders of the Korgah Carpet Center who aimed to empower women in Hunza through traditional carpet weaving.

Priced from $1,499* pp with departures from 21 June 2025.
