The city of Gilgit is one of the two major hubs for all mountaineering expeditions in the Northern Areas of Pakistan.

  • This is an airport owned by Government of Pakistan. In the Northren Areas we have this small airport only. landing is only possible when the weather is clear. PIA people give preference to their relatives and then the local administration. getting flight ticket is easy but getting it confirmed or ok is the very difficult. Waqar
