FAQs
Questions, answered
Planning and booking
How do I book a trip with Ragasha?
Start with a message on WhatsApp or our enquiry form. We ask a few questions, suggest a plan and send a quotation. Your trip is only confirmed once you have accepted the quotation and we have confirmed it in writing.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
A member of our team reads every enquiry and replies personally, usually on WhatsApp. Sending an enquiry does not book or reserve anything.
Do you have fixed prices?
Every trip is tailor-made, so we prepare a custom quotation based on your dates, group size, accommodation and activities. We don't publish fixed prices because they would rarely match what you actually need.
Can you arrange airport transfers and private transport?
Yes. We arrange private vehicles with experienced local drivers, including airport and arrival transfers. The type of vehicle depends on your group and the roads on your route.
What kind of accommodation do you arrange?
We match accommodation to your preferences, from comfortable hotels and heritage properties to simple local stays and camping on treks. Availability varies, especially at busy times, so we confirm options in your quotation.
When is the best time to visit Gilgit-Baltistan?
It depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. Some areas, such as Deosai and the high trekking routes, are only accessible for part of the year. Tell us your dates and interests and we will give you honest advice.
Is travel affected by the weather?
Yes. Mountain weather can affect flights and roads. We build sensible buffers into itineraries and adjust plans when needed. We strongly recommend travel insurance.
Do I need a visa or permits?
International travellers need a valid visa for Pakistan. Please check the official Government of Pakistan visa website for current requirements. Some trekking areas need additional permits, which we can arrange once the requirements for your trip are confirmed.
I'm worried about altitude. What should I know?
Several destinations are at high altitude. We plan gradual itineraries where we can, but we are not medical professionals. Please speak to your doctor before travelling, especially for treks or if you have a health condition.
Can you tailor trips for families, older travellers or people with limited mobility?
Yes. We can adjust the pace, vehicles, accommodation and activities. Please tell us about any needs when you enquire, so we can be honest about what is practical.
How do payments and cancellations work?
Payment terms, any deposit and cancellation conditions are set out clearly in your quotation before you confirm anything.
Corporate retreats
More detail on our corporate retreats page.
How far in advance should we plan a retreat?
As early as you can, especially for larger groups or popular seasons, because suitable accommodation and venues are limited. Share your preferred dates and we will advise on what is feasible.
Can you provide facilitators or wellness professionals?
We can coordinate independent facilitators, coaches or wellness professionals on request, subject to availability. They are third-party professionals; we handle introductions and logistics.
Can you handle colleagues travelling from different cities?
Yes. We can coordinate arrivals from different cities, including flights where possible, road transfers and contingency plans for weather.
Will there be reliable internet?
Connectivity varies across the region and can be limited in remote valleys. If reliable internet matters for your programme, tell us and we will factor it into accommodation choices.
Can you work with our finance and procurement process?
Tell us what documentation your organisation needs, such as quotations or invoices, and we will discuss how to meet those requirements during planning.
Destination weddings
More detail on our destination weddings page.
Can you guarantee a venue for our date?
No venue or date is confirmed until the venue has agreed in writing and we have confirmed your booking. We check availability and options before you commit to anything.
Can you arrange accommodation and transport for guests?
Yes. We can coordinate guest accommodation, airport and road transfers, and activities, depending on availability and group size.
Do you arrange decor, catering and photography?
We can coordinate local decorators, caterers, photographers and other suppliers on request. They are independent suppliers, and their services are confirmed in your quotation.
How many guests can you host?
It depends on the location, season and accommodation available. Intimate celebrations are often the easiest to arrange in the mountains. Share your guest numbers and we will advise honestly.
Plan your journey
Still have a question?
