| General
Information |
This
three day helicopter safari has been named the Eighth Wonder because
it is not only wonderful but also combines the wonders of the
Himalayas, the Hindukush and the Karakorams. It mostly runs along
the Karakoram Highway from Islamabad to Khunjerab Pass on the
Pak-China border, the highest road crossing at 16,000 feet. This
exhilarating flight takes you into the scenic Helipad at Fairy
Meadows, a place where Fairies dance, which lies to the north
of Nanga Parbat- The Naked Mountain for a lunch stop and then
along the Gilgit - Skardu Canyon over River Indus to Skardu for
a night stop. You will fly from Skardu to the mounth of Baltoro
along the Shigar Valley and Braldu Gorge on the second day and
on to Hunza over flying Biafo - Hispar glaciers, the longest (115
Km) outside polar regions and the snow lake known for its most
magnificent scenery on earth. From Hunza you will be flown to
Khunjerab Pass along the Karakoram Highway with views of Passu
and Baltoro Glaciers and back to Gilgit for a night stop. The
scenery during this ride is easily the most awesome. On the third
day we continue south along the Karakoram Highway to Malam Jabba
in the Swat valley for a leisure stop. Stunning scenery with the
sense of achievement are the attractions of this safari.
