`$Hamid organized an amazing expedition for us into the Karakoram. He and his team supported a second trip to Laila Peak for a Red Bull production we were a part of. The teams knowledge and professionalism are rare - both trips were an exceptional experience - first as a guest, second as a company. Our entire team has nothing but great things to say. The team lives in the backyard to m, in my opinion, one of the wonders of the world.`

Hamid was a great guide, he’s born and grew up there so he knows everything. Very recommended! Trinity Traveler (Renown Indonesian writer, vlogger & scholar) We went on a fantastic nine day trek across three base camp at Nangaprabat. It was very well organized, tailored for our needs and experience, with great food (thankyou Jaffa) and a very knowledgeable team.

`$We spent one very interesting week touring Pakistan with Mr. Hamid Hussain. First our tour started in Lahore where Mr. Hamid organized a very extensive cultural program. Then our tour took us to the Khyora Salt Mine, Islamabad, Taxila, Peshawar, Swat and Rawalpindi. Everywhere Mr. Hamid was eager to explain the history and also organize knowledgeable local guides. We warmly recommend Mr. Hamid’s tour and are sure many more culturally interested tourists will profit from these tours.`

During this time, we were always their first priority and were treated always as honored guests. In Pakistan they provided excellent service during challenging conditions. A fantastic team to work.

`$This has been our first time to Northern Pakistan, and it has been an eye opener in many respects, the mountain peaks, the natural sites, the historical sites, the food and specially the people. Particularly enjoyed Khaplu, Hunza under the eye of Rakaposhi mountain and the unforgettable trip (by jeep and by foot) up to Fairy Meadows with beautiful view of Nangaparbat. All this wouldn’t have been possible without the very excellent talent of Hamid! Knowledgeable and competent. Our best thanks to you Hamid and Amir who accompanied us the first days, also to warm welcome at Lavender Cottage.`

`$I have started climbing 4 years ago and have always dreamt about climbing high mountains. I arrived at Skardu where was already surrounded by high mountains. As soon as I saw snowcapped mountains when we began our journey by jeep, my heart started pounding. The days walking in the trails and glaciers was wonderful. Many Thanks to Hamid Hussain and team Lavender treks who provided best services throughout our trip.`

`$I’ve known Hamid , the boss of Lavender Trek for over 12 years, and joining their trips always feels like traveling with family. In fact , they are my family in Pakistan !! I have always felt home when I return to Skardu ! I’ve done the K2 GGLA trek with them, along with many smaller hikes and a few spring and autumn trips. From challenging treks to relaxing cultural journeys, Lavender Trek has never failed to make each experience truly special. What I really love is how they always try their best to fulfill any request . You can feel the passion and care behind every detail. And I have to say — the food in their cottage was hands down the best I had during my whole Pakistan trip! If you’re looking for a team that’s friendly, reliable, and truly knows how to make you feel at home while exploring Pakistan — Lavender Trek is the one 💚`
