Apricot Tours' Social Responsibility |
1 foreign trekker = 5 trees |
Apricot Tours will plant five trees for every foreign trekker who visits Pakistan for trekking to Nanga Parbat. The trees will be planted in the northern areas of Pakistan starting from 2019 as part of our CSR initiative. We aim to contribute to "Goal 13: Climate Action" of UN's Sustainable Development Goals by taking part in the massive government campaign to plant 10 billion trees during the next five years to tackle climate change. Pakistan's adverse climate impacts are very much visible through changing temperatures, prolonged droughts, increased floods and extreme weather conditions especially in Pakistan's mountain regions. Pakistan stands 7th on the list of countries that are mostly likely to be affected by global warming and has one of the highest deforestation rates in Asia. Decades of tree felling have reduced the country's forests to less than 3 percent of its total land area. How planting trees will make a difference? Planting trees will help save energy and money, cool our cities, reduce carbon emissions, reduce soil erosion, provide habitat for species of many kinds, provide clean water and add to the beauty of Pakistan's mountain region by simply being there. Our participants can also donate separately. Details on this initiative can be requested. |

Overview – Supat Valley Trek
This Trek is suited for trekkers with moderate stamina, providing a mix of exploration and leisure in one of Pakistan’s lesser-known yet breathtaking valleys. Apricot Tours organizes this walk, which takes you deep into the quiet sceneries of Supat Valley, with an emphasis on the peaceful Maheen Village and its surrounding natural beauties.
Your tour begins with a drive from Islamabad to Naran, a gateway to Pakistan’s northern areas. After an overnight stay in Naran, the next day begins with an exhilarating 4×4 jeep journey to Maheen Village, where you will pitch up a tent. The town is an ideal location for exploring the valley, providing a calm getaway surrounded by mountains. The first evening at Maheen Village is spent under the stars, eating dinner and enjoying the basic joys of wilderness living. This day is dedicated to walking down the valley to Maheen Lake and Fish Lake. The hike is rather straightforward, enabling you to completely experience the breathtaking alpine environment. Both lakes provide a calm backdrop for rest and thought before returning to the Maheen Village campground. The day ends with dinner and another night beneath the stars.
On the final day, you pack up and head back to Islamabad, stopping for lunch in Kaghan along the route. The journey concludes in the evening, leaving you with lasting memories of the stunning scenery, tranquil lakes, and friendship shared with other hikers. The Trek is an ideal short retreat into nature, providing a refreshing reprieve from the daily grind.
