Questions About This Tour

For Hunza specifically, yes, flying to Gilgit rather than driving the full KKH buys you three clear days in the valley. It is not enough to add Skardu; if you want both, our 10-day combined itinerary is the honest minimum.
Gilgit flights are weather-dependent. On a five-day trip there is no buffer, so we are upfront about this: if the flight cancels we switch to the road, which costs you a day each way. Travellers on tight schedules should consider adding a buffer day.
