Tour Packages from Lahore to Northern Pakistan: Hunza, Skardu, Naran & Swat (2026)
October 8, 2026 · 7 min read
Planning a northern Pakistan trip from Lahore? Here is how to get there, which tour packages fit your days and budget, and how a Lahore-based agency makes the whole journey easier.
Why Lahore Travelers Choose a Local Travel Agency
Lahore is the starting point for thousands of northern Pakistan trips every summer, but the journey north has a few moving parts: the M-2 motorway to Islamabad, mountain roads that change with the weather, and hotels in Hunza, Skardu and Naran that fill up quickly in peak season. A Lahore-based agency lets you meet the team, confirm every detail face to face or on WhatsApp, and start your trip from your own city instead of coordinating with strangers.
The Trekkerz Pakistan is registered (DTS #9150) and operates out of Lahore, so pick-up, itinerary planning and payments are all handled locally.
How to Get from Lahore to the North
Almost every northern route begins with the Lahore to Islamabad leg. The M-2 motorway takes roughly 4 to 5 hours by road, after which you continue by private vehicle toward your destination. Direct flights to Skardu and Gilgit depart mainly from Islamabad, so the usual plan is to reach Islamabad first and fly or drive from there.
For travelers who want to save time, our by-air packages combine a short domestic flight with road sightseeing. Flights are weather-dependent, so always keep one buffer day in your schedule.
Popular Tour Packages from Lahore
Here is how the most requested trips compare, so you can match a package to the days you actually have:
- Murree & Nathiagali (2-3 days): the easiest escape, ideal for families and first-time hill station visitors
- Naran Kaghan (4-5 days): Saif ul Malook Lake, Lulusar Lake and Babusar Pass
- Swat Valley (4-5 days): Kalam, Mahodand Lake, Malam Jabba and lush green scenery
- Hunza Valley (6-8 days): Karimabad, Attabad Lake, Passu and Khunjerab Pass
- Skardu Valley (6-8 days): Shangrila, Upper Kachura Lake, Shigar Fort and Deosai Plains
- Combined Hunza & Skardu (8-10 days): the full Gilgit-Baltistan circuit by road or by air
Choosing the Right Season and Length
June to August suits Khunjerab Pass, Deosai and Naran, while late September to October is best for autumn colors in Hunza. April is the month for blossoms. If your leave is limited to a long weekend, pick Murree, Nathiagali or Naran rather than rushing a Hunza itinerary into too few days; mountain roads simply need time.
What Is Usually Included
A standard package from The Trekkerz Pakistan covers private air-conditioned transport, hotel accommodation, breakfast, a guided itinerary and a first aid kit. Entry tickets, lunches, dinners and personal expenses are typically separate, and we list this clearly before you pay so there are no surprises.
