Pakistan, Afghanistan and the North East of India are often in the headlines for the wrong reasons so it may seem strange to find a travel company that specialises in travel specifically to these countries.

But, that is exactly what we do.

The North of Pakistan and Afghanistan are incredibly beautiful places and are rich in history both ancient and modern. The area has a remarkable Geography, that sees the Hindu Kush, the Karakorum, the Pamirs and the Himalayan mountain ranges collide. However, it is the interaction with the people of the regions we visit that, more often than not, are our guest's fondest memories.

Each year, we offer a small number of unique trips to these regions. They are individually designed to capture an area when it is at its best or to coincide with a cultural event that few people ever get an opportunity to see. Whether it is watching the worlds highest polo match in Pakistan or taking part in a pagan festival in the jungles straddling the Indian/Burmese border we will ensure that you get a very personal experience.

We don't believe in being bystanders either, we will ensure that you get to meet the people and the characters of the areas. We can count Chitrali princes, retired headhunters and ex-mujahedin hoteliers to name but a few as friends and we think that this close relationship with the people will give you an unmatched insight into these untrodden areas.

For those that use the Gregorian calender, happy new year.

December saw Untamed Borders finish a private trip for a group of nurses from Riyadh to Pakistan. They took tea with us in the crumbing alleys of Peshawar and flew to Chitral where they were the only tourists in the whole province. They finished their trip in the Mughal city of Lahore visiting the mighty Badshahi Mosque, which was the world's largest mosque for over 300 years, as well as relaxing in Shalimar Gardens and enjoying Qawali music. Check out our Facebook page for photos from this trip.

We played host to two Australian journalists in Peshawar in late December and our guides will be heading off to the Data Saib shrine in Lahore in January for the famous Data Mela where they will listen to music and watch Islamic mystics dance.

December also saw us welcome a new guide to the team. Daniel is fresh from a four and a half year stint in Central Asia and Russia. He will be leading some private trips in the Russian Caucasus this year.

There will be a chance to meet him and some of the rest of the Untamed Borders team at the Adventure Travel Show in Olympia on 28-29^th January. Contact us for discounts on tickets or use the code -UNTAMEDBORDERS- to get tickets for half price from the official site.
