North Pakistan Cherry & Apricot Blossom Tour
Delicate Blossoms. Dramatic Mountains.
Experience spring in Hunza, Skardu & Khaplu where pink and white blossoms brighten village orchards beneath rugged, snow-capped peaks. Rivers wind through the valleys below, bringing flowering trees, mountain scenery and flowing water into one remarkable landscape.
While Japan is celebrated for its cherry blossoms, Hunza offers a distinctive setting of its own. Here, apricot and cherry blossoms frame terraced villages and towering mountains a striking contrast that makes the valley especially rewarding for photography and leisurely exploration.
Starting and ending in Islamabad, our tour combines seasonal scenery with opportunities to explore historic forts, enjoy regional food and meet local people. Guides from northern Pakistan bring insight into the valley’s heritage, traditions and everyday life.
Blossoming generally takes place during Mid March to end of April, with exact timing depending on elevation and weather. We help plan suitable travel dates and tailor your itinerary, accommodation and activities to your interests whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with family or in a private or corporate group.
