Testimonial 2

I highly recommend traveling with Samantha and Fareed.

I found Samantha and her blog/website via Instagram. I was really happy that I came across because it was quite hard to find reliable information. Because Samantha is from the US the communication was so much easier (compared to Pakistanis I found online) because she really understood what we wanted and needed.

How hard is the hike (how many days it will take), what can we expect from it etc. Before it was super hard to judge how reliable the information was.
Together we made an itinerary. Communication was super easy and Samantha helped us also in the visa process. When we went to Pakistan we felt super relaxed and confident in the adventure that we were taking on.

About the trip. What can I say. It was just amazing. Fareed is a super relaxed and an easy going guy that speaks very good English. The hikes were absolutely stunning. The rest of the crew was also great fun. A BIG shout out to the cook is in place here. We hiked for 5 days, I am used to noodles. We ate so good. Imagine a whole fried BBQ chicken at 4000 meters after 3 days of hiking and then a whole fresh watermelon as desert. INSANE! I have never eaten so well during a hike.

Between the 4 hikes we did private transportation was arranged, we slept in good hotels/motels. We just had to relax. Because Fareed is local he also has a lot of knowledge about the history of Hunza and it’s people, which is also a big plus.

In short: I highly recommend traveling with Samantha and Fareed. People who really have the travel/backpack and a passion for nature, the Hunza nature/culture and people.
