Questions About This Tour

Yes, due to its proximity to the Line of Control, a local permit is required. We arrange this in advance; you only need to provide your CNIC or passport copy.
Very remote, Minimerg sees only a handful of visitors each season. It offers an untouched highland experience unlike the more developed Deosai or Fairy Meadows.
