New to the G Adventures portfolio in 2025, Pakistan has rapidly gained popularity for its incredible hiking opportunities, stunning landscapes and deep historical roots. The company has launched three new trips focused on the ancient Thallay La Trail, a historical route once connecting the kingdoms of Khaplu and Shigar. The trail had long been abandoned after the construction of modern roads, but these new tours will bring tourists back to this isolated area, benefiting local communities. Travelers can explore the region’s dramatic landscapes, including glaciers and mountain passes, while staying in historic forts and castles.
