Horse Riding / Yak Safaris
We at The Ultimate Adventure Club believe, that you may travel by aero-plan, by bus or by train but traveling by
horse is unique one, especially on the mountainous region. Horse is
beautiful animal but expensive to keep it now a days. Horse has been
used only for ridding, war and traveling in the pastime and has a vital
role in the Northern Area's culture on the North part of Pakistan. The
Polo is national game of this region and could be played by horses. In
the North of Pakistan people now use the horses for ridding, polo game
and for loading too. In the summer the people on the mountains change
their pasturelands with cows, sheep, goats and camps, so they use horses
and yaks to transport the loads.
The YAK is dweller of mountain and is a fierce looking shaggy creature,
similar to cow and have been found in the extreme North of Pakistan,
especially in the Upper Hunza Valley- Gojal, Skardu, Chitral region

. Yaks have been used as a source of milk, beef, wools and carrying the
loads to the mountains in the pastures and also for riding on the
mountains.
"The Ultimate Adventure Club" is pleased to offer you different programs
of Horse ridding in various regions of Northern Areas of Pakistan. These
areas, in the North of Pakistan are known for natural beauty and
invigorating climate. They are snow-bound for the most part of the year,
so the modern life has not affected their original form. In fact the
most inhabitants living in these areas are mostly friendly, shy and
innocent to to-days world. Everywhere you will find hospitable people
welcoming you to their homes. Visiting to these areas also offers a
unique experience of stepping back in the time because in most of the
valleys people live to day the man lived centuries ago, free of all
complications which are generally faced by the competitive life of
modern city dwellers.
We may arrange the Polo” The king of the games and game if the kings” in
Chitral, Gilgit and Skardu, which is actually originated in the Northern
Areas of Pakistan, and developed into competitive sport by the Persians
in the Central Asia. It has been spread to the southwest Europe and also
east to north of Indian Sub-Continent and is playing in the Northern
Areas still as a popular sport
