In a major global endorsement, Northern Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region has been featured in the Financial Times’ “50 Holidays to Take in 2025” list marking a proud moment for Pakistan’s tourism industry.
The recognition celebrates the region’s towering mountain beauty, revived tourism infrastructure, and growing international accessibility, including free online visas for over 120 countries and increasing flight operations to Skardu and Gilgit.
Adventure travel operator Wild Frontiers, a UK-based company that began offering tours in Pakistan in 1998, is now offering a 14-day immersive trip through the valleys and peaks of Hunza and Baltistan complete with six days of trekking and cultural stops.
From glacier treks to heritage forts, Gilgit-Baltistan is finally earning its place on the global stage as one of the world’s most extraordinary and untouched destinations.
