Founded in 2017, Wanderlust Travel & Tour is a DTS-licensed (LHR-7957) and registered Lahore-based travel company specializing in fixed departure group tours, customized tours, and hiking excursions. With a passion for exploration and expert planning, we create seamless and immersive travel experiences.
In 2022, we expanded our vision with Wanderlust Resorts, the only hospitality brand in Arangkel — created to offer true comfort, reliability, and modern facilities in one of Pakistan's most breathtaking yet remote mountain destinations. Just 280 km from Islamabad, surrounded by lush green, paradise-like mountains, a place every traveler dreams of. A trip to Kashmir simply isn't complete without experiencing a night in this magical village.
Arangkel is a stunning, under-developed mountain village, breathtaking yet untouched by modern comforts. Here, essentials like electricity, hot water, and internet are unavailable — and this is exactly where Wanderlust transforms the impossible into effortless comfort.
