I had the great privilege to have Sherbaz guide me on a 21 day adventure through Pakistan during September and October 2022. Our trip took us from Islamabad through Astore valley, Skardu, Shigar, Khaplu, Gilgit, Karimabad, Passu, to the Chinese border, Phander valley, Shandur, Chitral, the Kalash valleys, Swat, Peshawar and Rawalpindi. I made contact with Sherbaz several months before arriving. After exchanging a handful of messages I felt that Sherbaz had the best combination of attributes I was seeking - excellent English, a good sense of humour and an absolute passion for Pakistan. Sherbaz did not disappoint me. In the months leading up to my trip Sherbaz assisted with all kinds of valuable advice. When I did finally arrive in Pakistan I felt like I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen for a few years rather than someone I had never met. Sherbaz‘ best attribute as a guide was that he always maintained a sense of humour and a positive outlook, and was very nimble in adjusting our plans to account for changing circumstances, including the effects of the floods that had caused so much havoc just before I arrived. Sherbaz has a profound knowledge about, and love of Pakistan and was prepared to discuss with great honesty the issues confronting his country which I found fascinating. Sherbaz has a great sense of adventure, but always tempered by common sense. At all times I felt relaxed knowing Sherbaz had the skills and experience to deal with any issues that arose. I have travelled to many countries but would say that my time in Pakistan will always remain a highlight, and that is thanks to the dedication and good humour of Sherbaz, who I will always consider a close and valued friend.DaNicoFromDaBlock

I am more than happy to provide some feedback about our amazing trip through northern Pakistan along with our tour guide Sher Baz. We got in touch with Sher Baz in year 2019 in spring in order to organize a tour in northern Pakistan for the summer! We had a rough idea of what we wanted to do and see, and a rough time frame of three weeks. Ongoing, we iterated together through our ideas and his recommendations! - He set up the entire itinerary from scratch, completely following our wishes, and planned everything ahead in detail. So, when we arrived in Pakistan, he picked us up from the airport and has basically taken us to all the places, starting from Islamabad, to breath-taking Babusar road, lake and pass ... ethereal Himalayan Nanga Parbat fairy meadows area ... Gilgit and beautiful Karimabad, Hunza ... the remote and solitary areas around Pasu ... crazy suspension bridges ... hiking between Hindukush and Karakorum ... the other-worldly Khunjerab Pass (China/Pak border) ... beautiful Shimshal valley ... mind-blowing Rakaposhi and its glacier panoramas ... Astore and going wild on the almost Tibetan Deosai Plains ... deserts near Skardu and Hushe along with K2-views and more ... He made our trip absolutely unforgettable!! He is a great tour guide! And he is very wise and knows everything about history and culture of Pakistan, and has connections to lots of people everywhere in the region! Long story short, I can fully recommend him to you! He has been the best guide that we could have wished for! I will definitely ask him for his services again when I come back to Pakistan some day in the future! And I would recommend him to all of my friends and to you, too!
