A group trip to Pakistan offers the opportunity to discover this fascinating country in a safe and organised manner. Pakistan is rich in untouched landscapes and a diverse culture, making it an attractive destination for travellers. However, the specific conditions on site, such as security concerns and logistical challenges, particularly in remote mountainous regions, often present travellers with significant challenges. A guided group tour offers decisive advantages here.

Our carefully curated Pakistan group tours take you to the country's most breathtaking locations, from the majestic peaks of the Karakoram to the historic sites of the Indus Valley.

Through our long-standing relationships within Pakistan, we enable you to have an authentic cultural exchange that goes beyond the usual tourist experience. Although travelling in Pakistan presents challenges, it also offers the chance to get to know a country that is not yet overrun by tourists and has retained its originality. We support you with all necessary formalities, such as applying for the e-visa, and take care of organising transport and accommodation so you can relax and focus on your adventure.

Trekking routes in Northern Pakistan offer adventures for every fitness level
North Pakistan is a paradise for trekking and outdoor enthusiasts. The region around the Karakorum, the Hunza Valley and the views of Nanga Parbat (Fairy Meadow) and the K2 Base Camp offer countless opportunities for unforgettable hikes. Our group tours cater to different fitness levels, ensuring both experienced mountaineers and less seasoned hikers can enjoy themselves.
The best time for active tours in the mountains is from June to mid-September. During this period, the temperatures are pleasant and the trails are generally accessible. However, it is important to note that some tours lead to high altitudes, for example, to the Gondogoro Pass at over 5,600 metres. Therefore, careful acclimatisation is essential to prevent health issues. Our experienced guides will support you and offer valuable tips on altitude acclimatisation.
In addition to challenging trekking tours, we also offer culturally oriented trips that give you the opportunity to discover the fascinating culture of North Pakistan. Visit traditional villages, meet locals, and learn more about the history and customs of this unique region. The combination of stunning nature and rich culture makes a group trip to North Pakistan an unforgettable experience.
Cultural tours explore Pakistan's historic cities and UNESCO World Heritage sites
Pakistan is rich in historical sites and cultural treasures waiting to be discovered. Our cultural tours take you to the most significant cities and archaeological sites of the country, including Lahore, Islamabad, Peschawar, Taxila, Mohenjo-Daro, and Harappa. These locations bear witness to a rich past and offer fascinating insights into the history and culture of Pakistan.
The UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Lahore Fort, the Shalimar Gardens, and the Rohtas Fort are particularly noteworthy. These impressive structures are testament to the splendour of past eras and are a must-see for anyone interested in culture. The sites of the Indus Valley civilisation, like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, are also of great historical significance and offer a captivating glimpse into one of the world's oldest advanced civilizations.
On our cultural tours, we place great importance on your safety. In some regions, it is necessary for you to be accompanied by security personnel. Our experienced guides take care of all necessary arrangements, allowing you to enjoy your journey without worry. Discover the fascinating history and culture of Pakistan with us!

Optimise your group trip to Pakistan with these travel time and visa tips
Careful planning is essential for a successful group trip to Pakistan. This includes choosing the right travel time, applying for a visa, and considering health and safety aspects.
The best travel time for northern Pakistan (mountains) is from June to mid-September, while for Punjab & Sindh, the period from September to March is ideal. You will need a visa to enter, which you can apply for online as an e-Visa/electronic travel authorisation. You will need a passport photo and an onward/return flight ticket. In some cases, an invitation letter and proof of a licensed guide booking are also required.
Take into account the vaccination recommendations (Hepatitis A, Polio, etc.) and check the malaria risk below 2500m. It is advisable to heed the Foreign Office travel advice. The currency is the Pakistani Rupee (PKR), with Euro or USD recommended for exchange. Check ATM access in advance, as it can be limited in mountain regions. Be informed about Ramadan restrictions and ensure appropriate clothing. Urdu is the national language, but English is widely spoken. Electricity is 230V, 50Hz, type C and D plugs (adapter type D required).

Successful group trip: Flexibility, team spirit and good preparation are the key
For a successful group trip to Pakistan, careful planning alongside certain personal qualities and behaviours are important. Flexibility and adaptability are essential, as unpredictable events such as flight cancellations or road closures can occur. Tolerance towards other cultures is also vital to avoid misunderstandings and to fully enjoy the trip.
Since this is a group trip, team spirit and social skills are required. A willingness to compromise is important to ensure a harmonious coexistence. Your fitness and health also play a role. Moderate fitness is required for hikes, for example, to Fairy Meadow. You should also be acclimated to altitude.
Pack the right equipment, including an adapter (Type D) and a flashlight (as power fluctuations are possible). Inform yourself in advance about the current travel advice from the Foreign Office and read travel reports from other travellers. With the right preparation, nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable adventure!
Sustainability and respect shape responsible group tours to Pakistan
Sustainability and responsible travel are very important to us at GoTuro. These aspects should also be taken into account when planning group trips to Pakistan. Be environmentally conscious and try to minimise your carbon footprint, for example, through carbon offsetting with Wilderness International. Respect nature and leave no waste behind.
Cultural respect is also of great significance. Support local communities, for instance, by attending traditional lunches with Hunza women. Pay attention to appropriate clothing and behaviour. Your safety should always be the top priority. Travel with local guides and stay informed about the security situation.
By considering these aspects, you help ensure that future generations can also experience the beauty and diversity of Pakistan. At GoTuro, we support you in making your trip as sustainable and responsible as possible.
