Day 1
Arrive in Lahore anytime today, we’ll have your airport transfers organized and you’ll be brought straight to the hotel. We have an evening briefing for the group to hear about the adventure that lies ahead, then a group dinner in a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city.
2
Day 2
Time to explore Pakistan. We have a 2-hour drive to our partner community, but try not to nap. If this is your first time to Pakistan, the sights, and sounds from the drive will be something you never forgot. When we reach Sialkot, we’ll take a tour of the community and tea with the elders before a briefing from your project coordinator about the work to be carried out and start getting our hands dirty.

Day 3
Our goal is to install 8 toilets and 8 water pumps, we’ll be focused on installing, constructing the walls, and painting the bricks. Depending on how much work the locals have managed to accomplish, we may be working pretty hard the next couple of days! Hope you don’t mind getting your clothes a little roughed up, time to get to it, people!
4
Day 4
This morning we’ll have a little ceremony, tour the community, donate what they’ve requested and hopefully have a little time for a mini sports day! That evening we make our way back to Lahore for the fun to really begin.
5
Day 5
Explore Lahore, Pakistan’s cultural capital and second-largest city with us. From the delicious local food, the spectacular to the famous Badshahi Mosque, not without a stop at Lahore Fort. Lahore as you never thought it could be.
If our local coordinator can source a non-local declaration, we may even try Pakistani beers from the Murree Brewery. Leave it with us!

Day 6
Off to the airport, awe-inspiring Kashmir awaits. We’re proud to be the only company in the world to offer these crazy adventure tours with a social conscience and to have the opportunity to visit Kashmir is one of those adventures indeed. We’ll fly into the heart of Gilgit Baltistan, and the next 5 days we’ll be lost amidst the snow-capped Himalayas as we hike, and drive through the Hunza Valleys, just off the Karakoram highway.
7
Day 7
We’ll begin our scenery feast as we wind our way through the mountains toward Hunza Valeey down the Karakoram highway. Three of the world’s longest glaciers in the region, so we’ll check one of them before home along with the epic Borith Lake. Surrounded in 6000m peaks, the landscape is breathtaking.
8
Day 8
Deep in the mountainous area of Hunza, where the fair-skinned and light-eyed Hunzakuts claim to be descendants of soldiers lost from Alexander’s army as he invaded India. Hunza Valley is the inspiration for the mythical valley of Shangri-la in James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon and time permitting, we’ll get to see spectacular Rakaposhi pass and the ancient Baltit fort.
9
Day 9
We’ll slowly make out way back to explore the Gilgit area today, checking out the Kargah Buddha, the Gilgit bridge (hope you’re not scared of heights, the largest suspension bridge in Asia!) over the fast-flowing Gilgit river, at the end of its traditional bazaar and Monument of Taj Mughal.
10
Day 10
We’ll have brekkie together at the hotel, and then back to Gilgit airport, for our transfer back to Lahore, where officially wrap up this trip and get our connecting flights out of Lahore anytime this afternoon. We'll catch you on the next Mudita Adventure!
