Apricots, mulberries and cherries from some of the highest orchards in the world — the north at its richest.
Every region has its own flavour, and in Northern Pakistan that flavour is grown on terraced hillsides — apricots drying on flat rooftops, mulberries heavy on the branch, cherries and apples ripening under some of the highest orchards in the world.
A tour through these valleys in summer is a tasting menu of a different sort. Families invite you in for tea. Orchards run right up to the edge of the glacier. The produce travels metres, not miles, from tree to table.
Our cultural routes are built around exactly these encounters. We stop where it is worth stopping, we buy from the people who grew it, and we give you the time to actually sit down and enjoy it rather than rushing to the next viewpoint.
For travellers who care about where things come from, this is the north at its richest.
