Coming home this year? Give your family the trip they always talk about. We plan private tours to the north of Pakistan for overseas Pakistani families, so you spend the visit together instead of arranging logistics.
Every year overseas Pakistani families come home, and every year the trip up north gets pushed to next time. Learn more about Mudasir Iftikhar, Founder of ToursInPakistan. The drive feels long and the arranging feels like work on top of a busy visit.
We take that off your plate. Tell us your dates and the cities your family is flying in from, and we build one private itinerary that brings everyone together in Hunza, Skardu or wherever you want to show the children.
