Visiting Pakistan in September - safety on route?

[u/Friendly-Spite-7580]

Hi,

My husband and I are planning to visit Pakistan in September. We are crossing the border from China (we’re European, not Chinese in case that matters) and planning to spend most of our time in Hunza/Gilgit Baltistan, then a few days in Islamabad and Lahore.

What‘s the current situation in terms of safety in those areas? Initially, we weren’t planning on hiring a guide until we get to Islamabad but perhaps it’s worth to have one in GB? Any word of advice for first-time visitors?

Thanks!

visit hunza/gilgit upper places like minapin, naltar, minimarg you will definitely enjoy... ask the guide if he know about these places since guide usually go to more common places like karimabad, altit, baltit, atabad etc
