Good to Know
Private & Flexible
Every honeymoon is just for the two of you, with your own car and driver. You can change the pace, add rest days or upgrade hotels at any time.
Hotels
We choose hotels with the best views and privacy, from boutique hotels and heritage forts to lakeside resorts. Ask us about upgrades and special rooms.
Couples & Etiquette
Pakistan is a conservative country, so public displays of affection are best kept private. Hotels are used to welcoming married couples, and we will make sure you feel comfortable.
When to Go
May to October is the best time; October brings golden autumn colours to Skardu and Shigar. Read our guide to the best time to visit Pakistan.
