Mr Anis Ul Hussain founded the company in 2012, building on his years of firsthand experience in the tourism industry.

Since its establishment, Karakoram Adventure Holidays has successfully operated 500+ tours and welcomed thousands of guests from around the world. Over the years, we have continued to share our passion for the mountains, landscapes, and culture of Northern Pakistan through carefully planned, authentic travel experiences.

Our team is made up of local people from Gilgit-Baltistan who know these mountains, valleys, roads and communities firsthand. From the hidden corners of Skardu to remote valleys and the world-renowned trekking routes of the Karakoram, our local knowledge helps us create more authentic, meaningful, and well-planned journeys.

Whether you are looking for a family holiday, a cultural journey, an adventurous road trip, a challenging trek or a high-altitude expedition, we are here to help you discover Northern Pakistan with confidence, experience and genuine local expertise.

Our story is rooted in the region we call home—and our goal is to help every guest experience it in a way that is authentic, memorable and unforgettable.
