LAHORE, PESHAWAR, HUNZA &THE KHYBER PASS
 Our tour features some of Pakistan's most memorable sights-Lahore, the
Paris of Asia" - the legendary Khyber Pass and story Tellers'
Bazaar of Peshawar - the emerald valley of Swat the ancient Silk Road to
China, the present day Karakorum Highway - and the Hunza Valley, the
fabled "Shangri-la", where, on average, people live to be 110 !
We will be using various modes of transport including rail in bogeys

chauffeur-driven car and 4-wheel drive jeeps. Our accommodation is
simple but comfortable, reflecting the local style, and where possible,
in village guesthouses.
