Rooted in Gilgit-Baltistan, driven by a passion for the extraordinary
Who We Are
Shani Travels was founded with a single vision: to help travellers discover the breathtaking beauty of Pakistan's northern regions with comfort, safety, and the care of a trusted local partner.
Based in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, we have spent over 15 years building a reputation built on reliability, local expertise, and genuine hospitality. Our team are mountain people — we know these roads, these seasons, and these landscapes intimately.
Every journey we facilitate carries our name and our pride. From a solo traveller seeking Fairy Meadows to a corporate team visiting K2 base camp, we deliver the same level of meticulous care and professional service.
Plan Your JourneyOur Principles
Every vehicle is regularly maintained and fully insured. Our drivers are trained in mountain road safety and emergency protocols.
We are proud Gilgitis. Our warmth and generosity are not part of a script — they are who we are. You travel with family.
No hidden fees. No surprises. The price we quote is the price you pay — fully inclusive of fuel, driver, and insurance.
We know when roads open, when weather turns, and which routes give you the best views. Our local knowledge is your advantage.
We operate responsibly in sensitive mountain ecosystems. We keep vehicles maintained for lower emissions and educate travellers on eco-tourism.
Travel doesn't follow office hours. Our team is reachable 24/7 for bookings, queries, and on-road support wherever you are.
