Why travelling in a group is the best way to see Pakistan
Discover why joining a group trip in Pakistan is the ultimate way to explore its mountains, culture, and hidden gems safely and stress-free.
Pakistan is rapidly climbing onto travellers’ bucket lists as perceptions shift and more people discover just how extraordinary this country truly is.
But here’s the challenge: Pakistan’s tourism infrastructure is still developing. Getting around can be expensive, especially if you’re travelling solo, as hiring a private driver is often the easiest way to navigate the country.
That’s exactly why Pakistan is the perfect destination for a group trip. Group travel solves these challenges, letting you focus entirely on exploring this magical country with an awesome group of like-minded adventurers.
Not usually a group trip person? Stick with me, by the end of this, you might just change your mind. Here are a ton of reasons why joining a group trip in Pakistan could be the best decision you ever make.
10 reasons to explore Pakistan on a group trip
1. Planning done for you
Pakistan is a vast and diverse country, and planning a trip here can feel overwhelming.
When you join a group tour, your itinerary is already sorted, logistics are handled, and all bookings are taken care of.
From mountain treks in the north to city explorations in Lahore, you can arrive ready to enjoy the adventure without worrying about transportation, accommodation, or where to eat.
2. Expert guides by your side
Our guides bring Pakistan to life for you. They are your cultural bridge, translator, historian, and storyteller all in one. They’ll introduce you to local customs, encourage you up that mountain, and ensure you experience the real Pakistan.
Stay Wild Travel works with some of the best guides in Pakistan, who often become the highlight of the trip for our guests due to their infectious energy and unbeatable kindness.
3. No expectations are the best expectations
While you’ll have an overview of your journey, some of the best moments in Pakistan happen unexpectedly: a local wedding in a remote village, a chai stop which leads to a spontaneous conversation with a local, or a breathtaking sunset from Eagles Nest.
Group travel lets you fully immerse yourself, free from planning stress, and embrace the surprises.
4. Solo travel in Pakistan can be expensive
Group tours can actually be more cost-effective than travelling solo in Pakistan. We go into more detail on this in our Solo travel in Pakistan: Why it’s not for everyone guide, but most people don’t realise that getting around solo can work out to be pretty expensive.
On a group tour, private transportation, guided hikes, local meals, and unique cultural experiences are all bundled together. You save time and money while enjoying exclusive opportunities that solo travellers often miss.
5. An instant group of friends to travel Pakistan with
Joining a group trip in Pakistan means you’ll be surrounded by people who are curious, adventurous, and excited to explore.
From trekking to the base camp of the ninth-highest mountain to sharing stories under starlit skies near Rakaposhi, you’ll form friendships that last long after the trip ends.
Pakistan isn’t the easiest place to meet other travellers, so joining a group trip takes away the worry of having to find someone to travel with.
6. Help before you go
Stay Wild Travel makes sure you’re fully prepared. Pre-trip info packs, cultural tips, packing lists, and even a group chat with fellow travellers help ease nerves and give you confidence before you arrive in Pakistan.
7. Things go wrong in Pakistan
Pakistan isn’t the easiest country to travel in, and if anything unexpected happens – a road closure, landslide, or a last-minute accommodation issue – our guides will handle it. You can relax knowing that problems are solved efficiently without stress.
8. Empower women in Pakistan
Stay Wild is at the start of a very exciting journey focused on empowering female travellers and local women in the destinations we explore.
On our Pakistan group trip, we’ll stay at a local family homestay and, for our Wild Women Moment, enjoy a cooking class with a woman who has been involved in our tours for years. You’ll get to know her and hear about what life in a small village in Pakistan is like.
9. Safely explore Pakistan
Pakistan isn’t the dangerous place the media often makes it out to be, but having local guides who know the country inside and out adds an extra layer of safety.
They stay up-to-date on local conditions, plan around road closures, and make sure you don’t get lost while hiking in the mountains.
10. Community when you return
The friends you make on a group trip in Pakistan often stay in touch for life. From sharing travel tips to planning the next adventure together, the bonds you form while stepping outside your comfort zone become a global support network and a reminder of the incredible experiences you shared.

FAQs
Do I need a visa for Pakistan?
Tourists from 120 countries can now obtain a visa prior to arrival, valid for 90 days, at no cost. You can check this list of eligible countries via Pakistan’s official visa site.
The visa can be processed within 24-48 hours, but we advise not leaving it to the last minute. The new handy app makes applying for your Pakistan visa so much easier than before. All you’ll need is your passport and a photograph.
As with everything involving the trip, we’re on hand to help with the visa process.
Is Pakistan safe?
In recent years, Pakistan has made noticeable progress in boosting tourism and improving internal security, particularly in areas popular with travellers.
Cities like Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi have become more accessible, while northern destinations such as Hunza Valley, Skardu, and along the Karakoram Highway continue to welcome more tourists every year.
We’ve been running group tours in Pakistan for three years now, and guests have constantly commented on how safe they have felt.
When is the best time to visit Pakistan?
The ideal time to visit is from May to October, when the mountain routes are clear and major roads, such as the Karakoram Highway, are usually open and free of snow. However, we've found the summer months, July and August, to be very hot, which makes hiking a lot harder.
What should I wear in Pakistan as a solo female traveller?
Pakistan is a Muslim country, so you will be required to dress conservatively. This means having your knees and shoulders covered. If you enter a mosque, your hair also needs to be covered. We cover dress code in Pakistan in more detail above.

Our tours are all about authentic local experiences, empowering women, and building meaningful connections with the people, culture, and traditional cuisines of each destination.
You’ll share these unforgettable moments with a group of like-minded women, completely stress-free.
Do you run group trips to Pakistan?
We've been running group trips to Pakistan for 3 years and have shown over 60 people how incredible this country is. Check out our women-only Best of Pakistan: Hikes, Hospitality and Hot Chai group tour.
