Pilgrimage Glossary
Umrah & Hajj — Quick Reference
What is Umrah?
Umrah is a non-mandatory Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia, that can be performed at any time of the year. Pilgrims enter ihram (a sacred state), perform tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram, complete sa'i (walking) between the hills of Safa and Marwa, and shave or trim the hair. From Ghanche, the standard Umrah trip lasts 10-14 days including travel and time in Madinah.
What is Hajj?
Hajj is the obligatory pilgrimage that every able Muslim must perform once in their lifetime. It takes place on specific days of the Islamic month of Dhu'l-Hijjah, with Hajj 2027 expected on 14 May–19 May 2027. From Ghanche, Hajj packages typically run 25-40 days and include all rites at Makkah, Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, plus time in Madinah at Masjid an-Nabawi.

One named Regional Representative — Haiwad Ahmad — handles your entire booking. No call centres, no handoffs. Transparent pricing, flights from Skardu International Airport (KDU), hotels selected for proximity to the Haram, and direct WhatsApp support before, during, and after your trip.
Traveller's Guide
Umrah, Hajj & Travel from Ghanche
Umrah & Hajj from Ghanche
Ghanche is one of Gilgit-Baltistan's easternmost districts, with communities spread across a mountainous landscape near Skardu. Al Bari Travel & Tours arranges Umrah and Hajj travel for pilgrims from Ghanche entirely by phone and WhatsApp, covering visa applications and ticket bookings without needing an in-person visit, which suits a district that sits some distance even from Skardu itself, let alone from Islamabad.
Flying to Saudi Arabia from Ghanche
The nearest airport to Ghanche is Skardu International Airport, but its flights are domestic and can be affected by weather. Because of this, pilgrims from Ghanche usually travel to Islamabad for their international Umrah or Hajj flight, and Al Bari accounts for this extra leg when planning the journey, building in time for the domestic connection first.
Booking from Ghanche, made simple
