United States (October 2025)
As a solo female traveler from the United States, I researched extensively before choosing Sastaa Trip. They addressed every concern. I felt safe, respected, and welcomed everywhere. The other travelers in my small group were wonderful. I'd return in a heartbeat.
Owner Fashion
We brought our kids (9 and 12) on the family package. The guides adapted activities perfectly for their ages and energy levels. Educational without being boring. The kids still talk about the Hunza jeep rides and staying in the fort months later.
Travel Writer (October 2025)
I've traveled to 47 countries. Northern Pakistan ranks in my top 5 experiences. The landscapes rival New Zealand and Switzerland. The authenticity surpasses both. Sastaa Trip's organization was flawless.
NewYork (October 2025)
The value is unbelievable. We compared five companies. Sastaa Trip offered 30% less cost with better inclusions. No corners cut on safety, accommodation, or guide quality. Best travel value I've ever experienced.
USA (October 2025)
Our guide knew every trail, every village story, every local family. He took us to his uncle's home in Passu. We tried homemade apricot wine and a yak burger and heard stories spanning generations. That personal connection defines Sastaa Trip.
USA (October 2025)
I'm not a mountaineer, but I wanted adventure. The Fairy Meadows trek pushed my limits perfectly. Challenging but achievable. Waking to Nanga Parbat at sunrise? Life-changing. The support from guides made all the difference.
