Trip Grade:
III Challenging – Parts of the trip are physically challenging, involve hiking on rough terrain or in sand or at high altitudes. There may be very long drives on rough roads; weather conditions will be cold in the north and warm in the south. You may have simple picnic lunches, primitive bathroom facilities along the road, and remoteness from modern towns or cities.
LODGING Level:
✶✶ - ✶✶✶✶ Basic to Superior: Lodges and hotels with additional amenities, refined service and comfort level acceptable to western standards (2 or 4 stars in some small cities and a few 5 stars in the larger cities.)
Special Trip Remarks:
Moderately Rigorous Touring: Anyone joining this trip must understand that in many places, the tourist infrastructure (roads, restaurants, and bathrooms) is very primitive. Some days are long and hard, and the level of services will not match those offered in most tourist locations. Elevations vary from 5,000 to 10,000 feet, and the Khunjerab Pass is 16,000 feet high. The hotels and lodges are comfortable, but some need more luxuries provided in the West. Security checkpoints can be annoying, but travelers must be flexible and patient. Many roads need to be in a better state of repair; journeys can be long and tiring. Appreciate the flexibility and accepting any necessary changes. By signing up for this tour, you acknowledge your complete understanding and acceptance of all terms and conditions and assert that you are in good physical and mental health and that you will maintain an open mind, a sense of adventure, and a tolerant and patient spirit during all aspects of the tour.
