Gujrat to the Northern Areas: A Road-Trip Planning Guide

The northern areas are some of the most beautiful places on earth — and the best way to see them is at your own pace, in the right car, with a driver who knows the mountain roads. If you’re starting from Gujrat, here’s how to plan a safe and comfortable trip north.

Quick answer

Pick a sturdy 4x4 SUV, travel with an experienced mountain driver, plan your days around the destination, and book in advance during peak season. Our northern-areas tour packages take care of the car, driver and route so you can simply enjoy the scenery.

1. Choose the right vehicle

Mountain roads are demanding, so comfort and capability matter. The best choices are sturdy 4x4 SUVs:

• The Toyota Prado — the region’s favourite for mountain tours, roomy and comfortable.
• The Toyota Land Cruiser — unstoppable capability with a premium, VIP-grade cabin.
• The Toyota Fortuner — a tough, family-ready seven-seater.

For larger groups, a Toyota Coaster keeps everyone together in air-conditioned comfort.

2. Pick your destination

Different destinations need different amounts of time:

• Murree & Galiyat — a short couple of days, great for a quick escape.
• Naran & Kaghan — green valleys and lakes, a few days of stunning scenery.
• Swat — lush valleys and rivers, perfect for a relaxed trip.
• Hunza & Skardu — the ultimate adventure; plan several days for the long, breathtaking drive.

3. Travel with an experienced driver

Mountain weather and roads can be unpredictable. An experienced driver who knows the routes, the safe stopping points and how to handle high-altitude travel makes all the difference — both for your safety and your peace of mind. That’s why our northern tours and intercity journeys come with chauffeurs who have done the routes before.

4. Plan your days (and your stops)

Long drives are far more enjoyable with sensible breaks for meals, prayers and photos. Share your dates and your wishlist of destinations, and we’ll build an itinerary that fits your pace and budget — not a rushed checklist.

5. Book ahead in peak season

Summer is the busiest time for the north. Booking your vehicle and driver in advance secures the right car for your group and the best rate.
