About This Tour

The Karakoram from the air is an experience that defies description. Flying at 6,000m over the Baltoro Glacier — with K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum I and II, and the Trango Towers arrayed below — is a privilege available to very few people in the world. This ultra-luxury safari combines private helicopter access to the most remote and spectacular areas of Pakistan's mountains with stays in the country's finest heritage properties: Serena Shigar Fort and Serena Khaplu Palace, both Aga Khan-restored masterpieces of Balti architecture. The ground programme fills in the valleys and villages, the food and culture and humanity of Baltistan, while the helicopter programmes delivers the mountains in their full, overwhelming scale. Private chef, private guide, private vehicle — this is Pakistan at its most extraordinary.
