HIGHLIGHT

Exploring Ghizer’s Hidden Charms

Trek beside the emerald waters of the Gilgit River, or wander into the lush valleys of Phander and Yasin. Ghizer’s beauty is subtle vast meadows, crystalline lakes like Khalti and Phander, and endless apricot orchards that burst into bloom in spring. Whether you're driving the scenic road to Shandur Pass or hiking into the hills near Ishkoman, the journey is as rewarding as the destination.
Enjoy warm, home cooked meals in traditional stone houses, often served with stories from the hospitable Wakhi and Khowar locals. Experience unique seasonal festivals, and catch a polo match on the “Roof of the World” at Shandur during summer. In every corner of Ghizer, nature and culture coexist in harmony.

From the mirror-like stillness of Khalti Lake to the remote trails of Darkut Pass, Ghizer offers solitude for seekers and challenges for trekkers. The region is a birdwatcher’s paradise, especially during migration season when rare species soar above its valleys.

Walk through ancient fort ruins, visit village schools tucked into the mountains, or simply sit by the river and feel time slow down. Ghizer isn’t just a destination it’s a gentle unraveling of everything wild and wonderful.
