For those interested this part of Pakistan is an absolute pain to travel through as a foreigner unless you have special permission from the government (not entirely sure which department).

As well as the scarily high military presence, non English speaking locals and little to no public transport the only viable way to get round was to hire a guide. They cost us around 30,00rs (~ £150) for the week excluding their hotel cost which we had to pay.

Some of the places we visited were only accessible via jeeps which we had to hire separately costing 2500rs (~£13) a day and hiking, however the views were stunning and absolutely well worth it.
