Why Blossom Season?

Every spring, the valleys of Hunza and Skardu transform into a canvas of soft pinks and whites. Apricot, cherry, and apple trees bloom in full glory against a backdrop of dramatic mountain ranges.

This is our very own Sakura season, and travelers from Japan, South Korea, and across the globe fly into Pakistan just to witness this breathtaking natural event.

There’s no better time to explore Northern Pakistan than from mid-March to mid-April, when the landscapes feel alive with fragrance, color, and stillness all at once.
