The Wander

We offer inbound and DMC services in Pakistan.

The Wander started with the simple premise of starting a travel company that connects people with nature and local culture. We are proud to be a small company focused on providing exceptional travel experiences.

We believe in curating trips that we enjoy and want to share with others. We differentiate ourselves by focusing on the details - your trip starts at arrival and our job is not done until you are back on the plane. The places you stay, the transport, the connection with the local history and culture, the short stops, the meals and whether you sleep in a tent or hotel are opportunities for us to make your vacation a little bit more enjoyable.

Authentic Travel Experiences

Our original itineraries; whether they are for small group travel or individually created for our clients, are designed as journeys that connect with the local culture and nature.

Instead of providing an endless menu of options, we understand your needs and concentrate on unique locations that we know and love to share. The timing of our tours is selected to provide an authentic off-the-beaten track experience. Some of our tours are only scheduled two or three times a year to avoid the busy tourist season. We focus on providing you with a high quality experience instead of delivering cookie cutter tours.

Small Group Size

We believe that in-order to provide the experiences our clients seek, it is imperative to keep the group size small with a high guide to client ratio. Our trips have a maximum group size of 12, and we usually have two guides and never exceed a 5:1 client to guide ratio. We believe this allows you to experience the nature and local culture in an intimate setting and gives you the personal attention that we believe makes our trips a success.

No Hidden Extras

We believe in an honest, upfront pricing structure so you know exactly what the tour will cost before you book. Our tours are all inclusive including government permits, entrance fees and local transport including flights. While we plan for contingencies days, our itineraries are built with activities assuming the best case scenario that these days may not be required. Please see the itineraries for any exclusions.

Single Supplement

We believe single travelers should enjoy the same advantages as others in their group. We’ll gladly pair you up with a roommate of the same sex to ensure you get the same price.

We believe in providing the best travel experience

We tailor our accommodation for each stage of the trip. For example a long trek on the glacier might require a mattress that’s comfortable and keeps you warm and at the end of a long trek you might appreciate a nice hotel with a relaxing spa.

On self supported trips, at the end of a long day of walking, a good meal makes all the difference. We have partnered with local chefs to curate menus that are delicious and nourishing. In some remote areas restaurants don’t follow good hygiene or offer quality food. We use our own chef in these cases to ensure that our groups stay healthy and are well fed.

We aim to provide service that makes your vacation more enjoyable. On most trips we partner with the local community to organize special events that are unique to us, and with our personal knowledge of the properties we use, we are often able to secure the best rooms.
