Having recently returned from the K2 Trek as a member of fixed departure team I think the hardest thing I have to do is to find the words that would express the eternal gratitude I have towards guide, cook and the Porters and my Personal Porter, Ali.

These guys, as individuals and as a team were fantastic. Combine their skill, dedication and obvious enjoyment in what they do with the fact that we had a great team of people, a very positive dynamic that permeated throughout the trek and you can be assured that we had a very memorable trip for all the right reasons.

I would like to say thank you. Firstly for being so professional, informative and well organised in the administration of the trip prior to departure and then secondly for putting us in the hands of such great people to lead us on the Gondogoro la.

Thank you! You really have a great operation and I was impressed with the way it all comes together. In my job I do a lot of coordination and event management so I know how much behind the scenes logistics are needed.
You are getting some very good testimonies so hopefully the people we all talk to about it decide to trek and do it through VE.

Thanks again, I would love to do the trek again one day so who knows.

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our Nortnern Areas Trip.The driver and guide were fantastic, always there to help and assist where possible. The experience was everything we expected and more. Made our experience a very rewarding one.
I believe the entire trip party had a most enjoyable time. Thank you also to the support and assistance you provided us before coming to Pakistan.I was recommended VE from a work colleague who had completed a trip with you, and your organisation did not disappoint our expectations.

Hi Guys,
Our trip to KKH was the trip of a lifetime. planned for our own individual interests & needs.
Food was great (within the context of being on the trek… you know what I mean, there was heaps and it went down really well). They also organised a few surprises for us along the way which were just great.

I would say the list of what to take probably saw me carry too much when I realised what worked for me with respect to day and evening wear but that might have been different if it rained a lot more.

Thanks very much to Vertical Explorers

We are looking at Snowlake next.

Dear Vertical Explorers,

Wanted to get off a brief Thank You, for my recent trip to Pakistan.   Having now visited the northeast, I certainly know why the ‘VERTICAL’ in Vertical Explorers !

Great trip–& I’ll get a fuller response into an email (esp. thanking the individuals–guides, drivers–who really made the trip such a success), as soon as some family problems, I came back to, get resolved.

Thank you for all your help, in making Pakistan such a great international destination !

We both wanted to thank you for one of our best trips! Vertical Explorers was amazing in every way. Although the trek was challenging it was huge fun and with the group support and excellent local guides, we all made it! I’ve come away with some special memories, fantastic new friends and I can honestly say that it was one of the best things I’ve ever done. I can’t wait for my next trek there!’

I can’t say enough about the wonderful itinerary prepared for our Group to Pakistan in May 2012.In is a little over a month since we returned from our amazing trip to Northern Areas and we are still talking about what a wonderful time we had.  The itinerary you arranged for us took us to so many fascinating sites, as well as naturally beautiful landscapes. Certainly one of the highlights of our trip was the home hosted meals we enjoyed…a very special opportunity to taste foods from the region and enjoy the warm hospitality of our hosts.Our guides were so knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating–quick to respond to special requests when we had them.  And our drivers were careful and courteous.  We would definitely recommend Vertical Explorers to anyone who plans to visit this unique and fascinating part of the world.
