Why Not Adventures Arvostelua 

Ahhh what can I say except what a truly remarkable experience Pakistan has been!! 🇵🇰

Aziz and Mansoor are phenomenal guides. You can see how proud they are and the love they have for their country and community, and it was truly an honor to share their home and experience true Pakistani hospitality at its finest.

Throughout the entire trip, Aziz went above and beyond to make sure I was well looked after and tended to. As the slowest hiker with a recurring knee injury, he patiently stayed back to keep me company, guiding me safely up and down every mountain while making sure the back of the pack was always the most fun place to be. I never felt left behind, just incredibly well supported.

The boys also kept the group energy high with their mischievous and cheeky ways whilst also filling our days with music, lots of dancing, and laughter that made every moment memorable 💚

Tia is incredibly skilled in how she embraces everyone's individual personalities and blends the group together so effortlessly. She creates an environment that feels welcoming and incredibly fun from the moment she picks you up at the airport. We arrived as a group of strangers but most of us have left with incredible friendships supported by the environment Tia has created within her trips. So much so, some of us have already met up just two weeks post-trip with many more plans to see each other in the future!

There's never a dull moment with Tia and her passion for the country is truly infectious; even on the highest mountain passes, Tia's unmatched energy never faded. ✨️

What also sets Why Not Adventures apart as a unique tour operator is their social and political awareness for the country. They ensure the itinerary gives back directly to the people of Gilgit-Baltistan. By having local guides, Why Not Adventures keeps the economic benefits within the region, preserves their beautiful culture, and creates lasting opportunities for local communities.

They work hard to maintain and keep this trip incredibly affordable, allowing Pakistan to be accessible to so many more people. 🙏🏻

The love Aziz, Mansoor, and Tia have for Pakistan, its mountains, and being in nature truly shines throughout every detail of this trip. Take the opportunity to be fully present and embrace it all with them. It is an adventure that stays with you for a lifetime.

Love to you all. I'll be back soon! Inshallah 🙏🏻✨️

My first trip with Tia was the peaks of the Balkans and it was great, I had a really good time and really enjoyed spending time with Tia and Ben. Going on a trip like this feels more like being with friends rather than a big tour operator, which can sometimes feel more operational. You can tell how much Tia really cares and the thought she puts into make the trip epic. I have already booked to do Pakistan with her and who knows what else next! If you are wanting to go somewhere but are worried to go solo then this is perfect. You are also likely to meet like minded people on the trip which is a bonus ☺️

I had such a great time on the trip to Oman. It was packed full of great activities and we got to see so much of what the northern part of the country has to offer, I've already started talking about going back! This was my first group tour with such a small, personal company and Tia and Ben put together a great itinerary and they were so good at helping out if you were having difficulties (big shout out to both for dealing with my sea-kayaking sickness!) The local guides were great too and they all had such different fun personalities, I loved finding out about the desert critters that had been around our camp at night from their footprints.

I would absolutely come back and join another trip with Why Not Adventures, hopefully I'll see you in Pakistan!

Absolutely loved the trip to Oman with Why not adventures! The week was packed with so many unforgettable moments and Tia is so sweet and fun to travel with - would book with her again without a doubt ✨ Thank you for an incredible trip!!

Anyone who has thought about going to Oman needs to go with Why Not Adventures! This trip had everything - it covered cultural sites in Muscat and Nizwa…tons of adventure in the wadis (Wadi Shab is a big time highlight!)…mountain hikes…swimming and kayaking on beautiful beaches. We got very lucky when we camped on the beach and fell asleep with bioluminescent plankton in the waves and woke up to a gorgeous sunset. On top of everything else, you’ll meet some great, like minded travelers - this was a fantastic group. Tia and Ben are great hosts - they make everyone feel at home and really contribute to the group dynamic…and the local guides are all amazing guys who know their stuff, love to have fun and really make you feel welcome in Oman. If you’ve thought about going to Oman, please don’t hesitate to book with Why Not Adventures.

I did the Oman trip with Why Not Adventures and it was absolutely amazing. I don’t often book group trips but I’m so glad I did this one. It was very well organized, Tia and Ben are both wonderful and on top of everything. They were super accommodating even when things went wrong with my flights. The itinerary was incredible, our local guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and so much fun and I can’t wait for my next trip with Why Not Adventures!!!!!

This trip was nothing short of incredible! From dancing on the bus to seeing one of the 7 wonders of the world there was never a dull moment! Everyday was packed full of adventure and fun! Tia is an amazing human and wonderful guide who took my childhood dream and made it come true! The group she put together was so fun I made life long friends. I can't wait to join her on another trip and you should too!

i loved the Egypt trip so much😍 we had so many things to look forward to EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!! we had a jam packed schedule and Tia always made sure all of us were taken care of and she was a true friend the whole time❤️ i 100% recommend you go on one of Why Not Adventures’ trips!!!

I visited Pakistan in May 2025 with Tia and Ben at Why Not Adventures and where do I even begin ❤️ I can’t even find the words to explain how perfect this trip was and the lasting impact that it had on me. From connecting with local people, feeling like you’re friends who have known each other for years despite only having just met, having the most beautiful food, and seeing views I’ll remember for the rest of my life, visiting Pakistan with Why Not Adventures is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made 🇵🇰 Tia’s love for Pakistan shines through every experience and her and Ben were so supportive and helpful every step of the way. The itinerary is so well thought out and comes from a place of love ❤️

Our tour guides Aziz and Mansoor went above and beyond for all of us and, as a slow hiker, I was so nervous about falling behind the rest of the group but they were always there to encourage and motivate me ☺️ just amazing guys who made you feel safe and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable with everything. If I could go on every single one of the trips, I would and I’m so excited for my next Why Not Adventures trip to Egypt this November!

This is my third trip with Tias company Why Not Adventures; having loved the unique itineraries and experiences in Egypt and Pakistan I also signed up to the Balkans trip.
This involved 6 days of hiking, in four different countries and was such an incredible way to see not only some of the beautiful cities that the Balkans have to offer but also being able to hike in the mountains as a group was a beautiful experience.
The highlight for me was the four days on the peaks of the Balkans trail, and although this was challenging, the whole group bonded and we supported each other through. This trip was so well put together and ensured we didn’t miss any of the highlights that the Balkans has to offer!
Hiking as a group made this trip for me, and Tia and Ben went out of their way to do everything they could to ensure everyone had the best experience- I could not recommend their trips enough and I look forward to going on more!

I went on the Pakistan tour in June and from start to finish Why Not Adventures had everything covered so you didn’t need to worry about any of the logistics and could just enjoy the trip! It was a jampacked itinerary so we got to explore and experience so much in a short time. I’ve seen other tour packages with very similar itineraries at such higher price points, so to create a tour at this price with everything included is super impressive!
You could really feel the love Tia has for the country and see how much she enjoyed sharing this with other people.

Tia, Ben, Aziz & Mansoor were a fantastic team and although the tour involved a lot of hiking to see the spectacular views, between them they supported everyone of all different hiking abilities and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the hikes.

If you’re thinking of exploring this beautiful part of the world, I’d definitely recommend doing so with Why Not Adventures!

We had a great time on the group trip. We felt safe and comfortable the whole time and leading up to the trip all the communication was amazing.

They are clearly dedicated to making each of their trips amazing and memorable experiences for everyone.

I’ll be booking with them again and can recommend them 10/10

I can highly recommend Why Not Adventures because they create trips of a lifetime! I joined the Pakistan trip beginning of June and had the most incredible experience. The trip was packed with so many amazing hikes, good food and insane views. Even though we were 13 people in the group plus guides, it felt like a group of friends travelling together. Tia, Ben, Aziz and Mansoor took such good care of us and made this trip so special. I am already thinking about which trip I want to join next. :)

Going to Pakistan with Tia and the Why Not Adventures crew was hands down one of the best things I’ve ever done. I’m still buzzing from it a month after we all said goodbye. The whole experience was just unreal - breathtaking hikes, local culture, belly laughs, incredible food, and the kind of deep connection with people and place that stays with you forever!

From day one, it felt like joining a big adventure with mates (even if you didn’t know anyone beforehand, like I didn't), rather than a rigid organised-tour group. Tia and her team: shoutout to Ben and the local guides (legends), Aziz and Mansoor who made sure everyone felt safe, supported, and all questions were answered while also just having a really fun time. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just there for the views, there was no pressure to “keep up" or go at a speed you weren't comfortable with - just constant encouragement and good vibes all round!

The itinerary was so thoughtfully put together and every day was a new jaw-dropping landscape and a fresh “is this real life?” moment. We explored places I’d never have reached on my own, totally off the beaten path (including a local home stay, which was one of my favourite parts of the trip and a very special and unique experience - you really feel the culture, not just see it!). Plus, all the logistics were handled like transport, meals, accommodation (literally everything), so we could just show up, hike, laugh, eat, and soak in the magic of the mountains 🏔️✨ Even when we came across little hiccups (like a protest in the street, Aziz had it all handled and got us to our destination pronto).

And the food! Soooo good- every meal hit the spot and they catered for everyone (veggie/vegan etc, you’re in good hands!).

Tia herself is just next-level inspiring. She’s warm, grounded, and 100% in love with Pakistan, and it shows. Her energy is contagious, and the way she connects with the country and its people adds a beautiful layer to the trip ❤️

So yeah... I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone. You’ll come back with stories, friendships, a full heart, and probably already planning your next one. I know I am 👀💥🇵🇰 I'm also looking at joining one of her Baltics or Montenegro tours when I next have annual leave left 😅

Massive love and thanks to Tia, Aziz, Mansoor, Ben, and every single person who made this an unforgettable trip 🫶

My husband and I joined the 11-day Pakistan group tour in May and it truly was an incredible and unforgettable experience.

Tia, Ben, and our guides Aziz and Mansoor ensured the trip was so smooth and organized. We felt very taken care of by them and always felt safe and in good hands. We are vegan and they always made sure we were accommodated and had plenty to eat. I am a slow hiker and Aziz and Mansoor not only made sure that I was okay and helped carry my bag, but always kept the atmosphere fun.

As others have mentioned, this tour is incredible value. We almost never had to pay for anything extra. All meals and most snacks were included in the tour which I haven't experienced before on similar tours.

This was a trip of a lifetime and we're so happy we got to experience Pakistan with Tia, Ben, Aziz, and Mansoor. We'd happily join on another tour in the future.

A jam packed adventure of a lifetime! HUGE VALUE!! Affordability unmatched, and in no way did it feel like we were skimping. Great people, great company, great adventure. Could not have experienced Pakistan in such a way without them! Will absolutely be joining another trip somewhere!

Joining Tia’s 11-day hiking trip through Pakistan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was more than just a trip—it was an unforgettable adventure filled with beauty, genuine connection, and growth.

One of the reasons I decided to join was because Tia made it affordable— something rare for a trip of this depth and quality. She’s made incredible experience accessible for people who long for adventure but may not have a huge budget.

We explored remote areas and hidden gems that felt like something out of a dream — places I never imagined reaching without the support of Tia’s team. Our amazing guides, Aziz and Mansoor, felt more like friends than guides. They kept us safe, made us laugh endlessly, and brought warmth and joy to every single day. They can easily be the most playful people you’ll ever met.

Tia herself is truly inspiring. She lives simply, stays present, and shares her passion for travel with such authenticity. Her positivity is contagious. Being around her made the trip feel even more meaningful.

Every detail was taken care of—from transportation to meals to the thoughtfully crafted itinerary. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I just showed up, hiked, laughed, and lose myself in the mountains.

If you love hiking and crave real adventure, I can’t recommend this experience enough. You’ll hike to places you won’t believe with your own eyes. And you’ll walk away with memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you, Tia, for creating something so special.

Tia is an absolute superstar!

The trip from start to finish was a dream, the itinerary was clearly meticulously planned to ensure each days activities were challenging but achievable and rewarding. So much can be achieved in the short trip when you have Tia's brilliant mind to plan it!
Tia, Ben, Aziz and Mansoor took such great care of everyone in the group, there was no preferential treatment or pressure to be at a certain fitness level/able to keep up with the fittest hikers! Everyone was supported and celebrated for such an achievement!
The hiking routes are absolutely stunning and a real undiscovered treasure, being quiet and barely seeing any other tourists but being immersed in local culture and scenery!
The food stops throughout the trip cater to everyones needs while being absolutely delicious. Nothing is too much trouble for the organisers! Pakistani food is diverse and the trip offers a varied experience so you can leave feeling like you've eaten as a local would.
The accommodation, while sometimes basic, was charming and full of character. Always clean and serviced by the friendliest and most helpful staff - as is the Pakistani way!

I truly cannot recommend this trip, or the company, enough - I wish I could relive my trip!
Thank you so so much Tia, Ben, Aziz, Mansoor and everyone involved!

Words are not enough to express how amazing my trip to Pakistan was!
Not only is Pakistan an incredible place to visit, with its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality, but the experience was truly brought to life by the incredible guides and travel leaders who accompanied us- Tia, Ben, Aziz and Mansoor.
Thanks to them, I didn’t just *see* Pakistan—I truly *experienced* it.

You can tell how much Tia loves the country, and that truly transpires in the way she shares its stories, connects with the people, and makes every traveler feel at home.

My partner wasn't really into the idea when I first signed him up for the trip, but just a few days in, he turned to me and said how glad he was that he came — he was completely won over.
I think that says a lot!

Other than that, everything was arranged and included in the price, making it a super affordable trip 👌🏼 Definitely recommend it!!

Really well organised. I didn’t have to think about a single thing and loved how everything was included in the price. The places we visited were absolutely breath taking. Everyone on the trip was super friendly and the tour guides felt like friends. Would 100% recommended
