Minimarg Astore valley tour
The Minimarg Astore Valley Tour takes you to one of the most enchanting valleys in northern Pakistan. Located in the Astore District of Gilgit-Baltistan, Minimarg is a remote and peaceful valley known for its spectacular views, vibrant wildflowers, and the serene River Astore flowing through its heart. The valley remains covered with snow during winter and transforms into a colorful paradise during summer.
Minimarg is often referred to as “Heaven on Earth” due to its untouched landscapes and stunning alpine beauty. It lies near the Line of Control (LOC), making it a less-explored region that retains its natural charm and tranquility.

The local people are warm, welcoming, and known for their hospitality. They live a simple lifestyle, mostly engaged in farming and livestock. The main spoken languages are Shina and Urdu, and visitors often find the community eager to share stories and traditions of this hidden valley.
