Wings to the North: A Hunza Tour by Air from Islamabad

For Maheen, life in Islamabad had grown monotonous. Meetings, reports, and late-night screen time had drained her spirit. She needed a break — not just a weekend brunch or a day trip, but something more meaningful. A place where the air was pure, the silence was comforting, and every glance revealed something beautiful.

One evening, while sipping chai on her balcony, she stumbled upon a travel post on Instagram — a photo of Attabad Lake so stunning it looked unreal. Below it, the caption read: “Heaven is just a flight away. Explore our Hunza tour packages by air from Islamabad.”

That was it.

Within days, she had booked a 5-day getaway to Hunza. No long road journeys, no tiring hours — just a quick flight from Islamabad to Gilgit, and then straight into the heart of the north.

The day arrived. As her flight took off from Islamabad International Airport, Maheen watched the capital shrink beneath her. The view soon shifted from urban sprawl to snow-tipped peaks and deep valleys. It was like nature was welcoming her home.

Landing in Gilgit was surreal — the small airport surrounded by colossal mountains gave her the first real sense of the region’s grandeur. A local guide with a warm smile greeted her and helped her into a 4x4, and their journey toward Hunza began.

Within an hour, they were cruising along the mighty Karakoram Highway, one of the most beautiful roads on Earth. Rivers flowed beside them, cliffs towered overhead, and Maheen was glued to the window, her city fatigue melting away with every turn.

As they entered Hunza Valley, a gasp escaped her lips.

Even in early summer, the valley looked like a painting — green fields, blossoming cherry trees, stone houses, and the majestic Rakaposhi peak gleaming in the distance. Her hotel, nestled on a slope in Karimabad, offered a panoramic view of the valley below and snow-covered mountains above. That first evening, wrapped in a shawl, sipping green tea on the terrace, she felt a peace she hadn’t known in years.

The next few days were nothing short of magical.

She explored the centuries-old Baltit Fort, standing proud on a ridge with its Tibetan-style architecture and royal history. The wooden balconies offered a bird’s-eye view of Hunza that made her feel like a character in a fairytale. A short hike later, she reached Altit Fort, where she marveled at its restoration and the gardens filled with blooming flowers.

On day two, she took a boat ride on Attabad Lake, created after a landslide in 2010 but now one of the valley’s most iconic spots. The blue waters were unbelievably clear, surrounded by rugged mountains and silence that echoed with serenity. As she floated across the lake, camera in hand and wind in her hair, she smiled to herself — this is exactly where she needed to be.

Later, she crossed the famous Hussaini Suspension Bridge, her heart pounding with each step. Locals say it’s one of the most dangerous bridges in the world — wooden planks tied by ropes swaying above the Hunza River. For Maheen, it was a mix of thrill and awe — a reminder that sometimes beauty lies just beyond fear.

On the third day, they ventured up to Eagle’s Nest viewpoint for sunrise. She woke at 4 a.m., bundled up, and made the drive in silence. As the first rays of sunlight kissed the white peaks of Ultar and Ladyfinger, Maheen felt something shift inside her. Gratitude, wonder, and a deep sense of stillness washed over her.

Back at the hotel that evening, she dined under the stars, the valley glowing softly with scattered lights, and mountains standing watch like ancient giants.

On her final day, as she flew back to Islamabad, Maheen kept replaying moments in her mind — the laughter of children in Altit village, the calm waters of Attabad, the echoing silence of the forts, and the warm smiles of the people.

That night, she shared a photo of Rakaposhi at sunset and wrote:

“When your soul is tired, fly north. The mountains will teach you how to breathe again. For anyone in Islamabad looking for peace wrapped in beauty, these Hunza tour packages by air are the best gift you can give yourself.”

Journey Through the Heart of Pakistan: A Family Adventure to Remember

When Danish and Hira decided to take their children on a summer vacation, they knew they didn’t want another typical overseas trip. After all, how many beaches, malls, and amusement parks could one truly remember? They wanted something meaningful. Something that would show their kids the roots they came from.

“Let’s explore Pakistan,” Hira suggested one evening, scrolling through her phone. “All of it — the north, the plains, the history, the culture.”

Danish looked intrigued. “That would be quite the road trip.”

“Or,” she smiled, “we book one of these Pakistan tour packages and let someone else handle the logistics.”

And that’s exactly what they did. With a well-planned itinerary covering Lahore, Skardu, Hunza, Swat, Peshawar, and even Mohenjo-Daro, the family of four was off to discover the diverse beauty of their homeland.

Their journey began in Lahore — the cultural heart of Pakistan. The kids were amazed by the grandeur of the Badshahi Mosque and the intricate architecture of Lahore Fort. At Shahi Qila, Danish narrated stories of the Mughals as if reading from a fairytale book. They tasted spicy street food from Gawalmandi and watched the flag-lowering ceremony at Wagah Border, where the energy was electric.

From Lahore, they flew to Skardu. The moment they landed, the landscape transformed. Towering peaks, turquoise lakes, and crisp air greeted them. At Shangrila Resort, the kids ran around the heart-shaped lake while Hira and Danish sipped tea under apricot trees.

They visited Shigar Fort, took a jeep ride to Deosai Plains, and picnicked at the sparkling waters of Sheosar Lake. The children, city-born and screen-raised, stared in awe at marmots and wildflowers, asking questions about glaciers and stars.

From Skardu, they moved on to Hunza. They explored the ancient Altit and Baltit Forts, posed for photos at the famous Passu Cones, and crossed the thrilling Hussaini Suspension Bridge together. At Eagle’s Nest, they caught a golden sunset that felt almost spiritual.

“The mountains don’t speak,” Hira said quietly, “but they teach.”

Next on their list was Swat. The lush green meadows of Malam Jabba, the history of Udegram, and a short chairlift ride through the hills gave the trip a new flavor — one of alpine calmness and fairytale charm.

In Peshawar, the streets felt older, wiser. They walked through Qissa Khwani Bazaar, tried the famous chapli kebabs, and visited the centuries-old Mahabat Khan Mosque. Danish, a history buff, explained the city's role in trade and storytelling over the centuries.

But the most unexpectedly profound part of their journey was yet to come — a trip to Mohenjo-Daro. Flying to Sindh, they stood on the ruins of one of the world’s oldest civilizations. The kids, who had only read about the Indus Valley in textbooks, now stood where ancient cities once flourished. Their tour guide spoke of a time before religions, before nations — when humans lived, worked, and traded in harmony.

As they walked through the stone streets and ancient wells, Hira whispered, “So much of the world ignores this. But it’s ours.”

Their tour ended in Karachi with a quiet dinner at a seaside restaurant, watching the waves crash onto the shore. Danish raised his glass of lemonade and said, “We didn’t just visit places. We traveled through time.”

Back home in Islamabad, the children created a scrapbook titled “Pakistan Through Our Eyes,” filled with photos, dried petals, ticket stubs, and hand-written memories. It wasn’t just a vacation; it was an awakening.

Hira later posted on Instagram:

“From ancient ruins to mountain skies, bustling cities to quiet meadows — this country holds worlds within itself. Thank you to the team behind our unforgettable trip. These Pakistan tour packages made it easy to discover the soul of our land.”

A Journey of Faith and Love: Amar & Simran’s Sikh Yatra in Pakistan

For Amar and Simran, marriage was not just a union of hearts — it was a union of shared values, roots, and a deep connection to their faith. When it came time to plan their post-wedding journey, they didn’t want beaches, luxury resorts, or mountain escapes. Instead, they sought something far more meaningful.

“We want to walk where Baba Nanak walked,” Simran had told their families.

And so, their honeymoon became a pilgrimage — a journey of love and devotion through the sacred Sikh heritage sites of Pakistan. With carefully crafted Sikh Yatra tour packages, Amar found an itinerary that covered all five Takhts in Pakistan, along with several gurdwaras steeped in Sikh history.

The couple landed in Lahore, greeted by the sweet smell of spring and warm smiles from the tour coordinators. Their first stop was the majestic Gurdwara Dera Sahib, built at the site where Guru Arjan Dev Ji was martyred. Standing under its white domes, listening to kirtan echoing through the marble courtyard, Simran was overwhelmed with emotion.

“It feels like our souls have returned to their origin,” she whispered.

They spent the day visiting Gurdwara Shaheed Ganj, Gurdwara Guru Ram Das Ji’s birthplace, and walking the old streets of Lahore where Sikhism once flourished. Amar, an avid history buff, was thrilled to see preserved manuscripts and relics in the gurdwara libraries. “These bricks remember more than books,” he said.

The next leg of their journey took them to Nankana Sahib — the birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The moment their bus rolled into the city, they could feel the reverence in the air. Locals waved at the group with open hearts, shopkeepers offered free fruit and tea, and even non-Sikh residents extended heartfelt welcomes.

At Gurdwara Janam Asthan, Amar and Simran bowed their heads and sat together for a langar, serving with their own hands before eating. It wasn’t just a spiritual moment — it was a reminder of humility, equality, and the unifying power of seva. “Here,” Amar said, “there is no difference between a newlywed couple and a saint — everyone is a servant of love.”

In Panja Sahib, near Hasan Abdal, they touched the rock where Guru Nanak’s handprint is believed to still rest — preserved as a miracle of his compassion. The stream nearby, said to have been created when Guru Nanak brought water to the thirsty, still flows gently. Simran dipped her fingers in it and smiled. “This water healed more than thirst — it healed hearts.”

One of the most unforgettable experiences came in Kartarpur. Traveling through scenic countryside, the couple reached the international corridor connecting India and Pakistan — a symbol of hope between two divided worlds. At Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, they spent hours walking the grounds where Guru Nanak lived his final years.

“It doesn’t feel like we’re visitors here,” Amar said. “It feels like we’ve come home.”

The architecture, the peace, the simplicity — everything about Kartarpur felt like a message. A message that despite borders, faith flows freely, and love recognizes no walls. In the langar hall, they met Sikh yatris from Canada, the UK, and even Malaysia. Each had a unique story, yet all shared the same sparkle in their eyes — the joy of walking where the Guru once walked.

Throughout the tour, they were guided by experts who explained the stories, meanings, and spiritual significance behind every site. The food was pure, the logistics seamless, and the experience far beyond what they had imagined when booking the Sikh Yatra tour packages.

On their final night in Lahore, Amar and Simran stood quietly at the steps of Gurdwara Dera Sahib once again. The sun was setting behind the minarets, casting a golden glow on the marble floor.

“We came here for a spiritual honeymoon,” Simran said softly. “But what we found was a deeper understanding of each other, of our faith, and of this beautiful land.”

Back in India, their stories moved friends and family to tears. The photos of them in traditional attire, serving langar, bowing at the sacred sites, and smiling with locals — told a tale more powerful than any ordinary vacation.

Amar later wrote in a blog post:

“Our Sikh Yatra in Pakistan wasn’t just a journey across borders — it was a journey into the soul of Sikhism. These places aren’t just historical. They are living, breathing reminders of our roots.”

And Simran? She keeps a small vial of water from the stream at Panja Sahib on her bedside table. “Every morning,” she says, “it reminds me — that love, faith, and peace can still flow, even in a divided world.”
