Pakistan is a beautiful country and home of some of the best hiking in the world. Towering mountains, lush valleys, dramatic rivers and lakes… There’s more to Pakistan than travel warnings and what you see on the news. You guys know by now that I am super passionate about opening up Pakistan to the backpacker community.
I’ve travelled to Pakistan four times now and we’ve started running backpacker adventure tours in the country—check out our Epic Backpacker Tours website for 2019 dates and itineraries!. I’m helping my buddy Rehman set up a guesthouse in the mountains of Hunza and I’m lucky enough to have many truly amazing amigos in this epic country…

I first came to Pakistan for the scenery, and because I thought I might get to shoot an AK into the air (I did), and it has never disappointed. Pakistan is packed to bursting with incredibly diverse landscapes and offers some of the best hiking in Asia – from easy day hikes to super tough expeditions, Pakistan has something for hikers of all abilities (and budgets).
I love hiking in Pakistan, even the shortest hike is so rewarding. It’s easy to get into the mountains, you pretty much just step off the Karakoram Highway and the mountains rush to meet you. The people you meet along the way, nomads and villagers who offer you chai, food and even a place to crash out – the mountain people of Pakistan are some of the most hospitable people I have met in all of my travels.
