Pakistan does not have many ski resorts, and Malam Jabba is the best of them. This winter trip is built around it. Whether you have skied before or you want to try it for the first time, we arrange the equipment, the lift passes and an instructor if you need one, so all you have to do is turn up and enjoy the snow. The resort has been fully rebuilt in recent years, and the slopes are well kept.
Around the skiing, the winter version of Swat is its own reward. The valley under snow is genuinely beautiful, and the lower roads stay open and manageable with our experienced drivers. Evenings are spent in warm, heated hotels with hot food and good views. This trip suits couples, friends and families who want a proper winter mountain break without leaving the country. We are PTDC registered and based in Karachi.
Pakistan's main ski resort at 2,800 metres, with well-maintained slopes for different levels. Equipment rental and lessons are arranged for you, so beginners are very welcome.
Even if you are not skiing every day, the chairlift up gives you wide views over the snow-covered valley. A highlight in its own right.
Swat under snow is a different place, quiet and striking. The drive up through the white valley is part of the experience.
Snowboarding is available too, and the gentle beginner slopes with an instructor make this a good place to learn from scratch.
Heated, comfortable hotels with hot food and good views, so the evenings are as relaxing as the days are active.
Snow-laden pines, the frozen river edges and the white peaks make for some of the most striking photos you will take in Pakistan.
We pick you up in Islamabad and drive up the Swat Motorway, around 4 to 5 hours, then up the final stretch to Malam Jabba, watching the valley turn white as you climb. Check into your heated resort and settle in for the evening.
We sort your equipment and lift pass, and if you are new to skiing, your instructor gets you started on the beginner slope. Experienced skiers head straight up. A full day on the snow at your own level.
A proper day of skiing or snowboarding, building on the day before. Breaks in the warm resort when you need them, and the chairlift for views whenever you want a rest from the slopes.
A morning on the slopes, then an afternoon exploring the snow-covered valley by vehicle, with photo stops at the best viewpoints. A change of pace from the skiing.
Back to the slopes for those who want more, or a relaxed day around the resort for those who have had their fill. The trip flexes around how the group is feeling.
A final morning on the snow, then we drive down to a warm hotel lower in the valley to shorten the final day. A relaxed evening after a week of mountain air.
The drive back down the motorway to Islamabad, with photo stops of the snowy lower valley on the way. Back by early evening.
A comfortable, well-heated resort close to the slopes, so you can ski, warm up and rest without a long transfer. The base for most of your nights.
A warm, well-run hotel lower down the valley for your arrival and departure nights, close to the motorway exit.
Peak ski season. The most reliable snow, full slope access at Malam Jabba, and the classic snow-covered valley scenery. This is the window this trip is built for.
Shoulder weeks. Snow can be good but is less certain at the very start and end of the season. We watch conditions closely and advise honestly before you commit.
The snow is gone and Malam Jabba turns into a summer resort with chairlifts and green slopes. If skiing is your goal, stick to the winter months.
Experienced or complete beginner, with gear and instruction arranged either way.
A cosy winter escape with skiing by day and warm hotels and snowy views by evening.
A safe, fun place for families to try skiing together for the first time.
Snow-covered pines, white peaks and quiet valleys make for striking cold-weather images.
