Our Lahore packages include private pickup, hotel stays in Kalam and Malam Jabba, a 4×4 jeep ride to Mahodand Lake, and daily breakfast.
Yes, you can book a 3-day Swat tour plan that covers the main tourist spots, perfect for a quick tour to Swat and Kalam, but it can be hectic.
We normally charge a 40% advance to book the tour, which includes hotel reservations, car allocation, air-tickets, and allied services. Balance payment is required at the start of the tour. We accept cash and bank transfers. Local and International clients can also pay via a point-of-sale machine. We have a flexible cancellation policy and adjust the advance payment for one calendar year due to unforeseen circumstances such as war, flooding, or earthquakes.
