Islamabad to Gilgit: the short answer
About the journey
The Karakoram Highway to Gilgit is a full multi-day journey with a rhythm of its own: early starts, a long driving day and a night at a stopping point before reaching Gilgit. Guests often keep the same vehicle and driver to continue to Hunza or Skardu, which keeps the whole trip under one booking.
Long mountain highway through the Karakoram; a multi-day journey with overnight stops.
The Karakoram Highway can be affected by landslides and weather, particularly in monsoon months and in winter on higher sections; plan buffer time.
Best vehicles for Islamabad to Gilgit
Mountain routes reward higher ground clearance and a driver who knows the road: an SUV or 4x4 is the sensible choice, and a Coaster works for larger groups on the main routes.
