Introduction

Discover the best-kept secrets of Pakistan as you experience an unforgettable adventure through the melting pot of cultures and religions that have shaped its diverse Indus Valley. As you travel in luxury from Islamabad to Karachi, explore ancient cities, imposing forts, intricate mosques, ornate mausoleums and lively bazaars. Be brought on a journey through the eras of ancient Indus and Gandhara civilizations and past the traces of colonisation, from the Persian Mughals and the British Empire. Immerse yourself in the local culture as you attend ceremonies headlined by folk music, traditional dance and colourful dress.

At OROKO, we’ve been to Pakistan many times and have continuously returned to explore its chaotic cities, rural heartlands and remote mountain villages. It is a place that is extremely rewarding, but also a destination where specialist knowledge is vital. That is why all of our bespoke itineraries to Pakistan include luxury partner accommodation, meet and greet arrivals, expert English-speaking private guides and private transfers. Each one of our itineraries are bespoke and tailored to you, so think of this as just a sneak-peak of just how brilliant an OROKO holiday to Pakistan can be.

What people are saying

“I’ve been a customer of OROKO for the last 12 months and have booked family holidays, ski trips and short breaks. The whole experience is brilliant; you explain the type of holiday that you are hoping to have, without specifying necessarily where and the team will present you a series of ideas and options, all costed out. It takes away all the stress of planning a trip. On top of this, you receive a full itinerary, and all activities can be sourced in advance. I’m a big fan.”
