Just came back from the trip. We were a group of 6 girls, who found this company online and booked their trip for Skardu for 7 days and I wanted to tell everyone how awesome the trip was! We saw so many incredible sights and had unforgettable memories. Everything was well organized by the tour company and the accommodation was also good. Our tour guide, Ateeq bhai, was very knowledgeable. He was excellent in all the fields, very passionate and concerned. He made sure that we won’t face any kind of difficulty there and this made us all very safe. We experienced a little trouble on our first day there due to the bad weather but thanks to our guide who tried his best and tackled the situation. I would recommend traveling through PTP.
P.S. Keep in mind that you may face some difficulties during traveling due to the bad weather/land sliding. Just stay calm.
We would like to give a big Thanks to PTP for such an amazing experience with the tour. We would highly recommend this tour company to everyone. They are very professional and welcoming, we felt welcomed from the moment we made inquiries about the different tours and even more comfortable whilst on tour. It felt like one big family and we had the opportunity to meet so many lovely people. The tour guide was professional but also very friendly, he has a lot of knowledge about the different areas we visited and we gained a lot of bee knowledge from this trip. If you are looking for an adventure and to explore, we would recommend this company as we are sure you would have just as amazing a time as we did. Can’t wait to book again soon! Thank you once again.

We had a family tour with PTP on 11th Feb – 14th Feb. The Trip was amazing in every aspect i.e. Transport, Food, Residence, and Sightseeing. Mr. Ateeq was very caring, joyful, and a friendly person throughout the way. Got a lot of love and unforgettable memories with other fellows including Numan and Khizar etc. Do not forget about the Master and classy Driver Mr. Farhan whose driving was beyond our expectations in foggy weather. Overall 10/10 for the PTP team.
