Description

A trip built around the mountain, not the clock.

Not a trek — a stay. Ten days between Karimabad and Passu with three nights in family homestays, walnut-drying afternoons, apricot orchards, and enough salt tea to reset your idea of hospitality. Suitable for anyone who can walk five kilometres on flat ground; unsuitable for anyone in a hurry.
