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.

Sometimes we get a request at Untamed Borders that really stretches our contacts and abilities. One such request was for a city break to Grozny in Chechnya by two British men. This city is more infamous for destruction and kidnapping but in recent years has become much calmer. Rather than just flying in and out we arranged a whistke stop tour of the Russian Caucasus including stops in Beslan and Vladikavkaz in North Ossetia, a couple of nights in Grozny where our guests got remarkably close to Akhmed Kadyrov, Chechnya's controversial president before finishing off in Daghestan with a stop in Makhachkala and the awesome fortified city of Derbent, A UNESCO world heritage site. Get in touch of something similar appeals to you.
