Additional info
Confirmed Dates
The official trip dates are 8 to 14 October 2026. Lahore and Islamabad Musafirs will depart on the evening of 7 October so the main experience can begin from 8 October. By Air Musafirs will reach skardu on the 9th October and will depart on the 14th October. Dates may only be changed if a natural disaster, serious political situation, government restriction or another major safety issue affects the trip.
Meal Plan
Breakfast and dinner are included during the trip. Lunch is not included on any day. Snacks, tea, beverages and additional food orders are also paid separately unless specifically communicated otherwise.
First Night
There is no hotel accommodation on the first night. Musafirs spend the night travelling north. This is also when Bus Yaind, introductions and the first icebreakers begin.
Chilas Accommodation
By Road Musafirs: The first hotel night is in Chilas after reaching from the overnight road journey. The final hotel night is also in Chilas before the return journey south.
Dynasty Skardu
Dynasty Skardu is the main Musafir base during the Skardu portion of the experience. Game Night, Mehndi Night, Bazm Night and Themed Night are planned around the Dynasty stay.
Karachi Joining Plan
Karachi Musafirs do not have a separate road departure. They join the experience through Lahore or Islamabad, depending on their selected travel arrangement. Karachi Musafirs are responsible for following the flight and joining instructions shared for their package.
Lahore Departure
Lahore Musafirs leave from the confirmed Lahore pickup point according to the communicated reporting and departure time.
Islamabad Departure
Islamabad Musafirs leave from the confirmed Islamabad pickup point according to the communicated reporting and departure time.
Deosai or Bashu Decision
Day 6 is deliberately flexible. The group will visit either Deosai or Bashu according to weather, road conditions and safe access. If Deosai is selected, it will operate as a day trip. If Bashu is selected, the Musafir crew will camp there overnight and return the following morning.
Community Nights
The experience includes several distinct community nights. Game Night is built around competition and chaos. Mehndi Night brings the desi energy. Bazm Night slows everything down into music, poetry and expression. Themed Night gives the Musafir crew one final excuse to show up differently. The last night in Chilas is left intentionally simple so everyone can just spend time together.
Safety and community
This experience includes long road journeys, mountain roads, jeep travel, high altitude areas. October can become cold quickly in Skardu, especially around Deosai, Basho and after sunset. Musafirs should carry warm layers, comfortable shoes with grip and personal medication. Deosai, Basho and other remote routes depend on safe road and weather conditions. The trip captains may adjust timings or routing when required for the safety of the Musafir crew.
This is a Musafir community experience, not just a sightseeing tour. Many Musafirs join solo or without knowing most of the group. Road journeys, shared day trips, chai stops and evenings together are designed to make meeting people feel natural. Solo women are welcomed through the 3Musafir verification and onboarding process.
