Real words from real guests.

“After more than two years of solo travelling, I’ve learned that the best experiences aren’t about the places you see, but the people you meet. What makes Highlander so special is that they don’t just show you Pakistan, they invite you into it. Thanks to Karim, I experienced a level of hospitality unlike anywhere else, from being welcomed into people’s homes to sharing stories and everyday life with locals. It never felt like a guided tour, but rather experiencing Pakistan through the eyes of a friend.”

Melbourne, Australia · Hunza Autumn Tour

“From the very beginning, everything was taken care of. Our trek was tailored to exactly what we wanted, and the kindness and care we received were extraordinary. When I had an upset stomach, someone actually ran down the mountain to get me medicine. Beyond the breathtaking scenery, what made this trip so special were the people, the stories shared around the fire, and the genuine connections we made. We felt completely safe, comfortable and cared for throughout.”

Emma Dahlmann

Hjørring, Denmark · Rakaposhi Base Camp Trek

“I’ve always been the kind of traveller who wants to take the harder trail, climb a little higher and see what’s around the next corner. What I loved about Highlander was that the guides actually shared that excitement. They knew exactly when to push us, when to slow down, and somehow managed to keep everyone laughing even on the toughest climbs. The landscapes were absolutely unreal, but it was the energy of the people around me that made this one of the best adventures I’ve ever had.”

“Travelling with a group of friends isn’t always easy, especially when everyone has different ideas of what makes a great holiday. Somehow, Highlander made it all work. We explored beautiful valleys, wandered through local villages, tried food we’d never heard of and laughed our way through the entire trip. Everything felt so relaxed and personal, like travelling around Pakistan with a local friend who knew all the best places. We came home with a hundred stories and already started talking about going back.”
