Questions About This Tour
We use shared transport (van pooling with other travelers), budget guesthouses instead of hotels, and shared jeeps for Deosai rather than private 4x4s. The sights are identical, only the comfort level and exclusivity differ.
Yes, this is our most popular package for solo backpackers since you will likely be grouped with other independent travelers.
