A little closer to home.
Thoughtful stays and journeys through the north, shaped around your people, your pace, and the feeling you came for.
A room with a view.
A welcome that means it.
Handpicked homes and small stays with the people, stories and mountain mornings that make a place stay with you.
Good journeys begin with being looked after.
We’re shaping Gharbound around thoughtful hosting and privately tailored days: planned with your interests in mind, then checked against what’s actually possible on the ground.
Meet the guide
The person behind the journey
Safar · the way there
A veteran guide. A welcome that feels familiar.
Ibi started leading tours at 15, creating distinctive, deeply personal city experiences in Karachi. At 25, he is carrying the soul of those early tours into a second, much bigger dream: Gharbound. After leading several homecoming journeys for Pakistan’s expat community, he and his team are bringing that same spirit of curiosity, care and individuality to private stays and tours in Skardu—shaped around each guest and grounded in what’s possible on the day.
Beyond the road, Ibi runs several ventures and is learning three languages. Curiosity, after all, is a way of meeting the world.

Stay for the tea.
Some places ask you to slow down. In Baltistan, the best moments often arrive between plans: a longer conversation, a second cup, the last light finding the mountain across the valley. We make room for those moments.

the river and the mountains.
Arrive by air, find a favourite mumtu stop, wander the old town, then let the road open toward Katpana and Satpara. We’ll be here to welcome you.
