Who runs it

Led by someone who has been up there

Travelore Adventures was founded in Rawalpindi by Ghayyur, a mountaineer and travel photographer. He plans trips the way he would want to take them: realistic about altitude, honest about weather, and unhurried when the view is worth it. Today Travelore runs everything from base camp expeditions to sightseeing, group tours and luxury trips.
