In August 2003, we were asked by the BBC to act as a consultant on the latest Michael Palin show, entitled 'Himalayas', by organizing the first two episodes of a five part series, through northern Pakistan and north India. He has done, almost exactly what you will do on a trip with us.<br /><br />All our Northern Pakistan itineraries offer a magical blend of fascinating ancient cultures and truly gargantuan scenery. Having ten years of experience running trips here we have many friends that you will meet – be they Chitrali princes or pagan shepherds – on a journey that will surprise and amaze you. From the hustle bustle of Peshawar bazaar, you will witness the Khyber Pass, the Kalash, Chitral and Hunza, and on this trip you will do it at by far the most beautiful time as fall fires the valleys in the heady hues of autumn and in style by staying at some of the region’s best hotels.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
