The soul of the road

Painted for
the long road.

A moving canvas of flowers, mirrors and hand-painted dreams. In Pakistan, even the journey is a work of art.

Seen on the highway

From Khuzdar’s switchbacks to the Karakoram, the same painted crowns go by.

Where to stay, coast to ice

Ten places across every province and territory, each with the best-reviewed hotels in the IMPT catalogue. Prices are live in the app.

From the sea to the ice

Follow the coast. Cross the river. Climb into the clouds. Move your cursor along the road and take the long way north.

The year changes colour

When the north closes, the south opens. There is a right place every month.

Mar–Apr

Blossom

Apricot and cherry blossom run up the Hunza and Skardu valleys. Lahore is warm, not yet hot.

Jun–Aug

High green

Babusar opens, Deosai flowers, the Fairy Meadows cabins fill. The plains are hot, so go up.

Oct–Nov

Autumn gold

Poplars turn gold along the Karakoram Highway and the air is the clearest of the year.

Dec–Feb

Sea and snow

Karachi and the Makran coast are at their best. Up north, Malam Jabba runs its ski lifts.

What the evening keeps

Chai poured from arm’s height, paratha off the tawa, seekh kebab over coals. Every town on this site has somewhere to eat after dark.

FAIRY MEADOWS · AFTER DARK

Lights out at 3,300 metres.

Fairy Meadows has no road. You walk the last stretch from Tato, sleep in a log cabin, and wake with Nanga Parbat, 8,126 m, filling the window.
