I have just returned from a three week/2500kms journey by 4WD around Baltistan., including the Hunza, Nagar and Skardu valleys.My guide/organiser was Sher Baz and my driver Mr Khan.

I grossly overestimated my fitness level, particularly at the high altitudes involved. Sher Baz took full account of this and constantly updated the itinerary to take account of my fitness ( I'm 75 ) and ensure my safety. His patience was amazing. Mr Khan's standard of driving including on some of the most appalling tracks was exemplary and at no time did I feel in danger despite the antics of many of other drivers we encountered.

I have no hesitation in recommending both Sher Baz and Khan to anyone intending to travel to Baltistan, whether for 4WD, backpacking or trekking
