Our Journey

Milestones Along the Way

2009

The Beginning

Founded by three Hunzakut guides with a single jeep, HNS Travels completed its first official tour — a 7-day Hunza circuit for a group of travelers from Karachi.

2012

Expanding to Skardu

We extended our operations to Baltistan, launching our first Skardu and Deosai packages and establishing partnerships with local guesthouses and camps.

2015

1,000 Travelers Milestone

A proud moment — our 1,000th traveler completed their journey with HNS. We marked the occasion by planting 1,000 trees across the Hunza and Nagar valleys.

2018

International Recognition

HNS Travels was featured in Lonely Planet and National Geographic Traveler, bringing a wave of international visitors to Pakistan's north.

2022

Responsible Tourism Pledge

We formalized our commitment to sustainable tourism, launching the HNS Green Fund and pledging 5% of all revenue to local conservation and education projects.

2025

Today & Beyond

Over 4,800 travelers guided. 38 tour routes. And the same fire burning that started on a mountain road in Karimabad in 2009. The best is yet to come.
