Overview
This year's Naltar pass trek is designed in a way that our team gets ample amount of time to acllimatize and connect with mother nature. In 2019, Saad Munawar crossed Naltar pass in 2 days (from Satrangi lake to Pakhora village) during his world record first ever 3 mountain ranges traverse expedition. Since then, Saad has led multiple teams across the pass successfully. Every year during these expeditions, we observe what works best for our clients and then re-organise things for the next year. This helps us in making the experience better for the next expedition. This year we have prepared such a plan that not only our clients reach their dream destinations successfully, but they also enjoy the scenic journey along the way.
