Questions, answered
How much does a Skardu tour package cost in 2026?
Standard Skardu tour packages run PKR 75,000–170,000 per person by air (less by road) with shared vans and ordinary hotels. SafarGB's luxury tier runs PKR 195,000–495,000: fort residencies like Serena Shigar Fort, private Land Cruisers, pre-assigned Nanga Parbat window seats and weather-protected rebooking on every departure.
How do I get from Islamabad to Skardu?
Fly (about 1 hour, PKR 23,000–35,000 one-way, daily PIA plus seasonal AirSial/Serene) or drive 588 km via Naran and the 4,173 m Babusar Pass in 12–13 hours (mid-May to late October), or 14–16 hours all-year via the Karakoram Highway at Besham. Our route desk covers every corridor city by city.
What is the best time to visit Skardu and Hunza?
April for cherry blossom, June–August for full access (Deosai and Khunjerab open, all treks running), the first week of October for autumn gold with no crowds, and December–February for snow on the Katpana cold desert with flights still operating. Each season is a different valley.
How much does the K2 Base Camp trek cost?
Market range is $1,550–$4,490 per person depending on operator tier, plus $300–450 in permits when not included. SafarGB runs the Classic at $3,450 all-in (groups of 8, permits included) and the Luxury departure at $5,450 with 1:2 guiding, a private chef, hot showers and Starlink at Concordia.
Can you arrange helicopters and private jets in Pakistan?
Yes. Helicopter safaris over the Baltoro and K2 fly with Pakistan's border-permitted operator (75 minutes, PKR 2,650,000 for up to 4 guests), and the Islamabad–Skardu sector charters privately on Pilatus PC-12 from $7,900 and Phenom 300 from $10,500 — with our convoy waiting at the Skardu apron.
What makes SafarGB different from other tour operators?
We are the region's own house — we run Gilgit-Baltistan's homegrown ride network, with our own vehicles and drivers, porter lineages from Hushe, year-round fort allocations and a Starlink-equipped operations desk in Skardu publishing live road status. Most operators visit these valleys; we run them.
