An Unforgettable Experience in Pakistan

I went on the Pakistan tour in June and from start to finish Why Not Adventures had everything covered so you didn't need to worry about any of the logistics and could just enjoy the trip! It was a jampacked itinerary so we got to explore and experience so much in a short time. I've seen other tour packages with very similar itineraries at such higher price points, so to create a tour at this price with everything included is super impressive! You could really feel the love Tia has for the country and see how much she enjoyed sharing this with other people. Tia, Ben, Aziz & Mansoor were a fantastic team and although the tour involved a lot of hiking to see the spectacular views, between them they supported everyone of all different hiking abilities and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the hikes. If you're thinking of exploring this beautiful part of the world, I'd definitely recommend doing so with Why Not Adventures!

We Had a Great Time on the Group Trip

We had a great time on the group trip. We felt safe and comfortable the whole time and leading up to the trip all the communication was amazing. They are clearly dedicated to making each of their trips amazing and memorable experiences for everyone. I'll be booking with them again and can recommend them 10/10

Trips of a Lifetime!

I can highly recommend Why Not Adventures because they create trips of a lifetime! I joined the Pakistan trip beginning of June and had the most incredible experience. The trip was packed with so many amazing hikes, good food and insane views. Even though we were 13 people in the group plus guides, it felt like a group of friends travelling together. Tia, Ben, Aziz and Mansoor took such good care of us and made this trip so special. I am already thinking about which trip I want to join next. :)

Still Trying to Find the Words… WOW!

Going to Pakistan with Tia and the Why Not Adventures crew was hands down one of the best things I've ever done. I'm still buzzing from it a month after we all said goodbye. The whole experience was just unreal - breathtaking hikes, local culture, belly laughs, incredible food, and the kind of deep connection with people and place that stays with you forever! From day one, it felt like joining a big adventure with mates (even if you didn't know anyone beforehand, like I didn't), rather than a rigid organised-tour group.

Tia and her team: shoutout to Ben and the local guides (legends), Aziz and Mansoor who made sure everyone felt safe, supported, and all questions were answered while also just having a really fun time. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just there for the views, there was no pressure to “keep up" or go at a speed you weren't comfortable with - just constant encouragement and good vibes all round!

The itinerary was so thoughtfully put together and every day was a new jaw-dropping landscape and a fresh “is this real life?” moment. We explored places I'd never have reached on my own, totally off the beaten path (including a local home stay, which was one of my favourite parts of the trip and a very special and unique experience - you really feel the culture, not just see it!). Plus, all the logistics were handled like transport, meals, accommodation (literally everything), so we could just show up, hike, laugh, eat, and soak in the magic of the mountains 🏔️✨ Even when we came across little hiccups (like a protest in the street, Aziz had it all handled and got us to our destination pronto).

And the food! Soooo good - every meal hit the spot and they catered for everyone (veggie/vegan etc, you're in good hands!). Tia herself is just next-level inspiring. She's warm, grounded, and 100% in love with Pakistan, and it shows. Her energy is contagious, and the way she connects with the country and its people adds a beautiful layer to the trip ❤️

So yeah... I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone. You'll come back with stories, friendships, a full heart, and probably already planning your next one. I know I am 👀💥🇵🇰 I'm also looking at joining one of her Baltics or Montenegro tours when I next have annual leave left 😅 Massive love and thanks to Tia, Aziz, Mansoor, Ben, and every single person who made this an unforgettable trip 🫶

Incredible Experience and Value

My husband and I joined the 11-day Pakistan group tour in May and it truly was an incredible and unforgettable experience. Tia, Ben, and our guides Aziz and Mansoor ensured the trip was so smooth and organized. We felt very taken care of by them and always felt safe and in good hands.

We are vegan and they always made sure we were accommodated and had plenty to eat. I am a slow hiker and Aziz and Mansoor not only made sure that I was okay and helped carry my bag, but always kept the atmosphere fun.

As others have mentioned, this tour is incredible value. We almost never had to pay for anything extra. All meals and most snacks were included in the tour which I haven't experienced before on similar tours.

This was a trip of a lifetime and we're so happy we got to experience Pakistan with Tia, Ben, Aziz, and Mansoor. We'd happily join on another tour in the future.

A Journey I'll Never Forget

Joining Tia's 11-day hiking trip through Pakistan was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was more than just a trip—it was an unforgettable adventure filled with beauty, genuine connection, and growth.

One of the reasons I decided to join was because Tia made it affordable—something rare for a trip of this depth and quality. She's made incredible experiences accessible for people who long for adventure but may not have a huge budget. We explored remote areas and hidden gems that felt like something out of a dream — places I never imagined reaching without the support of Tia's team.

Our amazing guides, Aziz and Mansoor, felt more like friends than guides. They kept us safe, made us laugh endlessly, and brought warmth and joy to every single day. They can easily be the most playful people you'll ever meet. Tia herself is truly inspiring. She lives simply, stays present, and shares her passion for travel with such authenticity. Her positivity is contagious. Being around her made the trip feel even more meaningful.

Every detail was taken care of—from transportation to meals to the thoughtfully crafted itinerary. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I just showed up, hiked, laughed, and lost myself in the mountains.

If you love hiking and crave real adventure, I can't recommend this experience enough. You'll hike to places you won't believe with your own eyes. And you'll walk away with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Tia, for creating something so special. – Solo traveler from Malaysia

Tia is an Absolute Superstar

Tia is an absolute superstar! The trip from start to finish was a dream, the itinerary was clearly meticulously planned to ensure each day's activities were challenging but achievable and rewarding. So much can be achieved in the short trip when you have Tia's brilliant mind to plan it!

Tia, Ben, Aziz and Mansoor took such great care of everyone in the group, there was no preferential treatment or pressure to be at a certain fitness level/able to keep up with the fittest hikers! Everyone was supported and celebrated for such an achievement!

The hiking routes are absolutely stunning and a real undiscovered treasure, being quiet and barely seeing any other tourists but being immersed in local culture and scenery! The food stops throughout the trip cater to everyone's needs while being absolutely delicious. Nothing is too much trouble for the organisers! Pakistani food is diverse and the trip offers a varied experience so you can leave feeling like you've eaten as a local would.

The accommodation, while sometimes basic, was charming and full of character. Always clean and serviced by the friendliest and most helpful staff - as is the Pakistani way! I truly cannot recommend this trip, or the company, enough - I wish I could relive my trip! Thank you so so much Tia, Ben, Aziz, Mansoor and everyone involved!

I Booked Onto This After Going to Egypt…

I booked onto this after going to Egypt with Tia, I had the most incredible time on both of these trips! Tia's itinerary included so many beautiful hikes that were unlike any landscape I had seen before and herself and the guides did so much to ensure that everyone was supported and had everything they needed to have a great experience.

Everything was included from accommodation to transport and we were never short of delicious food! I felt that I really got to experience the culture, by staying in local homestays and experiencing the guides' hometowns, which made the trip feel so special! I can't wait for more of your trips!

A Trip to Remember

Words are not enough to express how amazing my trip to Pakistan was! Not only is Pakistan an incredible place to visit, with its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality, but the experience was truly brought to life by the incredible guides and travel leaders who accompanied us—Tia, Ben, Aziz and Mansoor.

Thanks to them, I didn't just *see* Pakistan—I truly *experienced* it. You can tell how much Tia loves the country, and that truly transpires in the way she shares its stories, connects with the people, and makes every traveler feel at home.

My partner wasn't really into the idea when I first signed him up for the trip, but just a few days in, he turned to me and said how glad he was that he came — he was completely won over. I think that says a lot!

Other than that, everything was arranged and included in the price, making it a super affordable trip 👌🏼 Definitely recommend it!!

Really Well Organised

Really well organised. I didn't have to think about a single thing and loved how everything was included in the price. The places we visited were absolutely breathtaking.

Everyone on the trip was super friendly and the tour guides felt like friends. Would 100% recommend.

Why Travel to Pakistan? Because Why Not.

Wow Wow Wow, where to even start! I'm not sure I can accurately articulate how incredible my trip to Pakistan was. Even now I'm still processing the emotions and feelings I have since leaving Pakistan.

From the onset, Tia, and the wonderful guides were brilliant and accommodating. They helped arrange solo occupancy room, ensured delicious vegan/veggie food was available throughout the trip, and supported with all the logistics.

An action-packed and superbly curated itinerary left me feeling so overwhelmingly in love with Pakistan, but I feel like I've just scratched the surface of the beauty and adventures Pakistan has. I truly cannot wait to go back to Pakistan and revisit some of the amazing spots Tia introduced me to, and after speaking to the wonderful guides a fire has been lit inside me to explore more of Pakistan as truly it is one of the most wonderful, friendly, beautiful, safe, exciting, diverse countries I've ever had the pleasure of travelling to. I really feel like I've left a piece of my heart and soul in Pakistan 🇵🇰 but it's not goodbye, it's a see you soon!

If you are considering doing a group tour then I cannot recommend Tia and Why Not Adventures more. Tia pours her heart and soul into the trips; her passion for travelling and high vibes are contagious. The people supporting her, such as the local guides (Aziz and Mansour), homestay hosts, drivers, etc., could not be more helpful, welcoming, kind and truly are some of the best of the best!

I couldn't have asked for a better first-time experience in Pakistan and already can't wait to go back. I also hope to join another group trip in the future (praying for more Balkans dates) and I am keeping my beady eyes 👀 out for new exciting destinations. Finally, I just want to say a massive thank you to Tia, Aziz and all the amazing people on my trip who made my time in Pakistan so incredible 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

An Amazing Time in Pakistan

I had the most amazing time in Pakistan with Why Not Adventures. Tia and Ben have built really great connections in Pakistan so the trip guided by themselves and 2 local guides Aziz and Mansoor felt so authentic.

The trip was amazing value for money with all food and drinks included. The itinerary was perfect and as Tia and Ben had done this route before it gave peace of mind that we were going to see all of the highlights of the North which they have had first-hand experience of.

Tia's passion for leading these tours is clear to see and she is so fun and approachable which meant it was easy to ask any questions. I am going to book on another tour for this same year already! Thanks so much Why Not Adventures :)

An Unforgettable Time in Pakistan

I just returned from an unforgettable 11-day trip to Pakistan with Tia and her travel company — and it was truly incredible!

From the very beginning, Tia, Ben, and the local guides were helpful and accommodating, answering all our questions and ensuring the visa process went smoothly. As someone who has done several group tours, none provided as much value as this one did. Airport drop off and pickup was included along with all our water and food which is absolutely unheard of in this space.

The itinerary and accommodations were perfectly curated and I felt like I was able to see all the highlights. Tia's energy and passion for Pakistan are absolutely contagious and it's clear how much heart and soul she pours into every aspect of the trip. The local guides, Aziz and Mansoor were amazing as well and it's clear Tia only works with the best!

I couldn't have asked for a better first-time experience in Pakistan and already can't wait to join another group trip in the future. If you're hesitating to book one of her tours, let this be your sign and go for it — you won't regret it!
