Discover Northern Pakistan With Local Experts

Next Trail Travels began in 2023 in Skardu, founded by people who grew up in the shadow of Northern Pakistan's peaks and wanted to share the region on its own terms — not through a generic package, but through the eyes of those who actually live here.

Long before we were a company, we were travelers ourselves — driving the same roads, staying in the same valleys, and learning firsthand which routes reward patience, which seasons suit which destinations, and which small guesthouses outshine any five-star listing. That knowledge, built over years rather than borrowed from a brochure, is still what shapes every itinerary we plan.

We started Next Trail Travels because we kept meeting travelers who wanted more than a fixed schedule and a shared bus seat. They wanted a trip built around their pace, their interests, and their comfort — so personalization became the foundation of how we work, not an add-on.

That responsibility extends to the region itself. We work with local guides, drivers, and family-run stays, directing more of every trip's value back into the communities that make Gilgit-Baltistan worth visiting — because a tourism model that doesn't protect the place it depends on isn't one we want to run.

Today, Next Trail Travels plans premium, fully personalized journeys across Northern Pakistan — from private transport and boutique hotels to curated experiences — with the same attentive, human service that got us started, just refined for travelers who expect more.
