About the expedition
The Grand Tour is our most comprehensive expedition — three weeks through every major valley of the northern areas. We cross the Karakoram Highway end to end, sleep under Nanga Parbat at Fairy Meadows, cross the Deosai Plateau by jeep, and finish with two days back in Hunza for the cultural deep dive.
This is the trip if you want to see everything. Moderate fitness recommended — there are some long drive days and one full day at altitude above 4,000m on the Deosai crossing.
