The challenge
A school trip is six jobs, and none of them are teaching.
Most coordinators end up chasing drivers, hotels and consent forms in the same week they are marking papers.
Transportation
Finding roadworthy vehicles and drivers who know the KKH.
Food
Meals for 40+ students, on time, at every stop.
Accommodation
Rooms that fit a school group — and a supervision plan.
Destinations
Which valley is actually worth the travel time and budget.
Safety & consent
Risk assessments, medical forms and parent approvals.
Coordination
Twenty phone numbers and no single point of ownership.
The solution
Request a plan One partner, one plan, one price per student.
Send your requirements once. We return a day-by-day itinerary, an all-inclusive per-student cost, a route risk assessment and ready-to-send parent forms.

Safety & duty of care
The part your principal will ask about first.
Mountain roads, altitude and large groups deserve a written plan — not reassurance over the phone. Here is exactly what we put in place.
Inspected vehicles, experienced drivers
Every Coaster, Hiace and jeep is checked before departure and driven by drivers who work the Karakoram Highway daily — no night driving on mountain sections.
Written risk assessment per route
You receive a route-specific risk assessment covering road, weather, altitude and activity risks before you seek school approval.
Supervision ratios that work
We plan around one accompanying teacher per 15 students, with free teacher places built into the quote, plus a PeakTrip coordinator per vehicle.
First aid and medical readiness
First-aid trained coordinator, stocked kit on every vehicle, collected allergy and medical declarations, and the nearest hospital identified for each leg.
24/7 line for the school office
A scheduled check-in at each milestone and a live emergency number your principal can call at any hour of the trip.
Consent handled properly
Bilingual parental consent and medical forms, plus a parent information sheet with the itinerary, contacts and packing list.
Planning calendar
Best time to travel
Gilgit-Baltistan changes completely across the year. Pick the window that matches your academic calendar.
April – May
Blossom season in Hunza. Mild days, great for heritage and culture trips.
June – September
Peak window. Naltar, Fairy Meadows and Khunjerab are open and snow-free.
Sept – early Nov
Clearest mountain views and autumn colour. Best for photography-led trips.
December – March
High passes close. We recommend low-altitude day trips only, or waiting.
