Recently returned from a solo trip to North Pakistan. This was a spectacular trip. North Pakistan is breathtakingly beautiful. Exploria PK was the 5th tour operator I contacted and am so thankful that I eventually booked my private tour with them. All communications was with Ajmal who helped plan the entire trip for me. Stress free, easy and prompt communication via email & whatsapp. He was very fast in his responses too and from the start of our communication he promised that as a solo female traveler my experience in North Pakistan will be safe and smooth and that he will assign a guide who will best suit my requires – he kept his promise! What impressed me with Exploria PK services is that Ajmal continued to check in on me upon my arrival into Islamabad on Day, throughout my stay in North Pakistan and also upon my return back home. RESPECT! I was assigned Rashid as guide for my private tour and he was equally amazing. Rashid kept me safe on the roads and gave me an amazing experience. The best were the road trips – the views of the mountains around every corner was jaw-dropping. The whole trip was wonderful. Everyday was filled with great moments. I was well taken care and the hospitality in North Pakistan stands out from everything else. This was hands down the best travel experience for me. I had an amazing time. Highly recommend Exploria PK. Just book your tickets and leave everything else in the good hands of Ajmal. Well done Ajmal & Rashid! My soul will forever thank you both for giving me amazing memories that will last a lifetime. THANK YOU!leonardomW602QK

Together with my girlfriend we travel from Uruguay to Pakistan by mid May through Exploria.pk. Our tour started in Islamabad and included Fairy Meadows (incredible place and landscapes), Hunza and all arround, Lahore and back to Islamabad. We did more than 3000 km going from -0 temperaturas to more than 40grades. We made the majority of the tour by car with a team of guide (Farman) and driver (Bilal) that performed perfectly, giving us assistance in every thing we needed and beyond, showing us how the deepper Pakistan is, telling how people is including the possibility to meet local people and listen folk music among other things as making possible to experience local food. We are more than happy to have discovered Pakistan and break the myths occidental people have about such an amazing country. We hope to be back sooner than later! Thanks Exploria who made all arrangements as per our request with very nice and comfortable locations. Thanks guys, we will always remember with a smile on our faces the days with you.
