Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have just returned to the UK after a 2 week trip to Northern Pakistan which was just amazing. We arranged a private tour by jeep with driver. Thanks to Iman for working with me on an itinerary. Always good communication and very helpful.
Our guide Sajid was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. As a private tour for the 2 of us, although we had a general itinerary, it meant we could be flexible depending on weather. Sajid was a great driver on some pretty bumpy roads and was always careful.
We had such a great time on this trip and I would highly recommend using this company for your arrangements. Our expectations were exceeded.

We did a 16 day trip with Snow Leopard Tours in northern Pakistan. The itinerary they created was perfect for us and we had the trip of a lifetime. Everything was very well organised and the communication before the trip was excellent. Our driver/guide Sajeed was fantastic, we were very well looked after the entire time. He is a very professional driver and we felt very safe on the drives, which included some pretty narrow mountain roads.
This trip gave us a very special insight into the culture and way of life in the area that we would not have otherwise had. We had the opportunity to meet and interact with many local people and were invited into their homes to spend time with them. Doing a trip with Snow Leopard Tours will mean that you understand and interact with the people and communities in a very unique way. We will always remember this special trip. I could not recommend a tour with them more highly. Thank you so much for everything!

Our nearly 4-week customized tour arranged by Snow Leopard Tours, to Georgia and Armenia, went exactly to plan without a hitch. Iman, in Melbourne, was helpful in the planning stages and responded to all my enquiries as quickly as was possible.
The drivers in each country were fantastic, capable, punctual, caring, informative, fun to be with and both went out of their way to ensure we saw and did everything we wanted, plus more. The tour staff in each country were attentive and considerate; we were even able to change a full day’s itinerary en-route without any trouble. They worked with us in booking accommodation to our specific needs, booked tours and entrances and the drivers had tickets whenever needed. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

This company has a lot of local knowledge and were very professional from the planning to the delivery stage of the trip.
Our guide, Sajid was the perfect man for the job, driving in a quality land cruiser was the best way to experience the various road journeys - both long and short due the the large variance in road surfaces and recent bad weather - we always felt comfortable.
Snow Leopard tours ensured the trip we planned was manageable and we left having had the most extra-ordinary trip possible.
I have been lucky enough to have seen some magnificent mountains in this world, but upper Hunza exceeds them all.

My grand daughter and I recently returned from a three week tour of northern Pakistan organised by Snow leopards tours. Iman Rahim was wonderful to deal with. He would answer all questions we put to him leaving us full of confidence. In Pakistan we had the wonderful Sajid Saleem as our driver / guide who kept us both safe and entertained. I recommend Snow Leopard tours to anyone interested in exploring the Hunza region.
Pakistan is beautiful the people are wonderful. Go explore.

My son and I have just completed a tour of northern Pakistan with Snow Leopard Tours and it was magnificent. We had an outstanding driver, Sajeed, who spoke English well and was very flexible in letting us do more hiking than was originally scheduled. He literally saved our lives on a couple of occasions with some driving skill, and he also took us to his village to meet his wonderful family. Iman Rahim at Snow Leopard set up a schedule that took in some incredible sights but we never felt as though there was too much being packed into one day. We asked for midrange hotels and each one was very good … no complaints. I highly recommend Snow Leopard tours if you wish to see some of the most amazing mountain areas on the planet.

We went as an older couple on a curated 28 day road trip through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and into Xinjiang in China. It was spectacular. We had local guides and drivers who were personable, knowledgeable and very skilled throughout. We travelled into some very remote areas, following our exploring tendencies, and were safe, comfortable, well fed and well looked after. Iman in Melbourne co-ordinated the program minutely with all our teams, so a big thanks to him. We are experienced independent travellers, and undertook this trip as the logistics and lack of transportation in many places presented many obstacles to independent travel. We honestly found this trip to be one of the very best we have ever done. This agency is amazing. 100% happy and most highly recommended.

We have recently returned from an amazing journey organised by Iman and Snow Leopard Tours. The Five Stan Tour exceeded our expectations and enabled us to see wonderful sights and meet many interesting and kind people. Our particular interest is history and our itinerary was organised around this but also included many natural and cultural sites that gave us broad introduction to the area. Each of our guides and drivers were well informed and extremely competent.
Thanks again to Iman, his knowledge and organisation.

Amazing one month Road trip in central Asia
Last June 2023 we finished our one month road trip in Central Asia covering Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. We landed in Dunshabe/Tajikistan on 26 May and departed from Almaty/Kazakhstan on 24 June... crossed overland three borders i.e. from Tajikistan to Uzbekistan, from Uzbekistan to Kyrgyzstan and finally from Kyrgyzstan to Kazakhstan.
A total of around 6600 km were driven in the four countries with the majority in Tajikistan with 3600 km mainly covering all the Pamir plateau. We stayed in big and small hotels, guest houses and yurts. We saw magnificent landscapes, crossed very high passes, were astonished by marvelous lakes, valleys, canyons, mountains and rivers, soaked in hot springs, visited some palaces, met good and fantastic people etc. etc.
At this stage I would like to thank Iman Rahim and his travel company Snow Leopard Tours Pty Ltd for making this journey possible as well as his partner Ulan Ermek. Thank you very much for all great support and organization. Not forgetting our guides and drivers. Just to mention our guides Ali Topman in Tajikistan, Yunusali Azizov in Uzbekistan, Nazima Togusakova in Kyrgyzstan and Lyudmila Yanchenko in Kazakhstan. A big thank you! ... Aza Gaga.. Serendipity.. And life goes on!..
This was the second time we used Iman’s services being the first on another extensive Central Asia expedition back in May/June 2011. Well done Snow Leopard Tours Pty Ltd !

We had a wonderful time on our tour from Kashgar, Xinjiang to Lahore, Pakistan. Iman, who helped us to plan the tour was also incredibly helpful in designing a tour that included both hiking and cultural points of interest. Our guide, Sajid picked us up in Kashgar and helped us with the border crossing from Tashkurgan to Sost. He was a very friendly and knowledgable guide who introduced us to local people and the local food. Our hotels were in incredibly beautiful locations with friendly staff and delicious breakfasts. We were amazed by the natural beauty of Pakistan and the friendly people. We learned so much about the culture and history. We are already planning our return trip and will definitely use Snow Leopard Tours again!
