All tours to Astore depart from Rawalpindi, following the legendary Karakoram Highway (KKH) through Besham or Chilas. From Chilas, the route diverts toward Jaglot, crossing the beautiful Astore River and winding through narrow valleys and dramatic terrain until reaching the peaceful alpine setting of Astore Valley. The journey is scenic and offers unforgettable views of the Indus River gorge and Rakaposhi ranges en route.
Tucked between towering peaks and pine forests, Astore Valley is one of Gilgit-Baltistan’s most serene and untouched regions. Known for its green meadows, glacial lakes, and traditional villages, Astore offers a quieter, more authentic escape — ideal for trekkers, families, and those who want to disconnect from the chaos of city life.
Our Astore Alpine Escape takes you through valleys blooming with wildflowers, sparkling lakes at the feet of giants, and historic trails leading to one of the best views of Nanga Parbat — the Killer Mountain.
