The Karakoram Air Cruise
Five days. Jet in, heli over K2, fort suites between.
The Air Cruise is SafarGB's flagship: private jet from Islamabad, the K2–Concordia heli rotation, nights at Shigar Fort and Khaplu Palace, Deosai and the lakes by private convoy, and a jet home — five days, no queues, no compromises, from $24,500 per couple all-inclusive. There is no comparable packaged product in Pakistan; we built it because our data said no one had.

Questions, answered
Why does this cost $24,500?
It stacks three charters (jet out, heli rotation, jet back — market $18–22k alone) with four fort-suite nights, private convoy days and a photographer. Bought separately these run past $30,000; the Air Cruise packages them into one seamless five-day thread.
Can a family of four book it?
Yes — the PC-12 seats eight; family pricing from $31,500 for four with connecting fort suites. The heli rotation takes all four in one flight.
