It is our pleasure to be your trusted partner for each detail of your tours.
We offer special interest tours. If you are interested in a specialized topic, like flora & fauna of the Hindu Kush or Karakorum, or geology and geography of the Karakorum Range, culture of the Broshuski; the Hunzakuts or the Wakhi, embroidered or handwoven textile, or the Indus culture, whatever your interests are, share them with us.

Tour Guides: Ali Madad & his TeamAli Madad
My name is Ali Madad, I am the tour manager and one of the founders of Karakorum Trekking. For many years, it is my dream to have my own tour company.
I come from Passu Gojal Hunza, a beautiful valley in the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan, near the Chinese border. After completion of my basic education in Passu, I moved to Gilgit and joined the tourism department (TRAVEL WALJI`S) in 1996. I had always dreamt of joining the tourism industry. It was a perfect outlet for my outgoing personality.
My first trekking experience was assisting an American group to the base camp of K2. The day was adventurous but full of wonders. The harsh weather conditions discouraged me but my love and passion for mountaineering kept me going and all the members, and leaders of the trekking team appreciated my work.
The competition in tourism and the tremendous flow of tourists in Pakistan, forced me to learn foreign languages (English and Japanese). I started learning Japanese in 2001 from National University of Modern Languages Islamabad and completed the Diploma in December 2002. In 2003, I guided the tour of a Japanese group for the first time on the Karakorum Highway (KKH).
Dealing with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds helped me learn about national and international tourists, their interests and their linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Also, it helped me learn about the services required for the tourism industry. Based on my long practical experience within the hospitality and tourism sector, I was fortunate enough to be selected as a Principal Candidate for the 2012-2013 Community College Initiative Program for "Hospitality and Tourism Management". I did my diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management at Scottsdale Community College, Arizona (USA).
This allowed me to gain advanced knowledge and qualifications.
I love good food, I enjoy travelling, listening to the songs from old films and the ghazals of Jagjit Singh, Pankaj Udas and Madam Noor Jehan. I like to dance to our traditional music, the kind we have at our weddings.
The Team
I am proud and blessed working with such a strong, experienced and dedicated team. For making your trekking and traveling sound and smooth, the administrative and logistic wing of Karakorum Trekking (Pvt.) Ltd. is mine and your backbone for each tour. My right hand is our Head Tour Guide who is in charge for our Tour Guides, their professional and personal competencies, attitude and behaviour, for their training and for a relaxed and safe logistic of each tour.
Karakorum Trekking
We are your tour guides in Pakistan. Our heartbeat is tuned to enchant you with the grandiose wilderness and the majestic snow-capped mountain giants located in the north of Pakistan, in Gilgit-Baltistan and in Khyber Pakthunkhwa. Trekking with ponies or yaks from the Hindu Kush to the "Roof of the World", known as "Little Tibet" located in the Pamirs is a lifetime experience.
Trekking and travelling in the highest mountain ranges of our planet, the Himalayas, in the Hindu Kush and the Karakorum gives you a feeling of the majesty of life, freedom and you might touch your own strength and power. From enjoying the apricot and almond blossoms in the mountain spring, to following the path of the mighty and mythical Indus River to the ocean, you will be embraced by Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistan.
Travelling on the Karakoram Highway means, you will travel on parts of the legendary Silk Road. Today the Karakorum Highway gains again its strategic importance as part of the route of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). For more than thousand years now, the Karakorum Highway connects Central Asia with the subcontinent and provides the way down the mountains and to the lower lands near Islamabad. Further, Pakistan opens its gates to the south and invites you to explore its cultural splendour, the poetic music, Moghul history, its bustling, colourful cities and the diverse culture of the people of Pakistan. The magnificent scenery and the interesting people enchant at every turn.
Feel invited with a warm welcome to visit Pakistan!
