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 Gilgit, 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 Gilgit, 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.

Traveller's Guide
Umrah, Hajj & Travel from Gilgit
Umrah & Hajj from Gilgit
Gilgit is the main city and administrative hub of Gilgit-Baltistan, with pilgrims coming from the city itself as well as the surrounding valleys that rely on it for services. Al Bari Travel & Tours arranges Umrah and Hajj packages for pilgrims from Gilgit, managing visas and flight bookings so travelers don't need to chase paperwork across multiple offices in different parts of the region or make repeated trips.
Flying to Saudi Arabia from Gilgit
Gilgit Airport serves the city with domestic flights, but these are weather-dependent and the airport doesn't operate international routes. Pilgrims from Gilgit typically travel to Islamabad to catch their international Umrah or Hajj flight, and Al Bari plans this connection with the airport's weather sensitivity in mind, allowing extra buffer where schedules can be affected.
Booking from Gilgit, made simple
You can book your entire trip from Gilgit without visiting a travel office. Send your documents over WhatsApp (+92 315 9596161), and Al Bari confirms your package, visa status, and flight details in writing, so you always know exactly where things stand at every stage of the process.
Common Questions
Booking from Gilgit — FAQ
Are family Umrah packages available for Gilgit pilgrims?
Yes. Many of our Gilgit clients travel as family groups — couples, parents with adult children, multi-generational. We tailor hotel categories near the Haram in Makkah and Madinah, room types, and Ziyarat tour pacing to suit the family. Haiwad Ahmad can suggest packages once we understand the group composition.
Can Al Bari Travel arrange the connecting flights for pilgrims from Gilgit?
Yes. Gilgit Airport (GIL) primarily handles domestic flights, so most pilgrims connect through Islamabad International Airport (ISB) for the onward flight to Jeddah (JED) or Madinah (MED) — a routing we book end-to-end. We book the domestic leg and the international leg together on one itinerary for Gilgit pilgrims, so there is no gap between flights and your baggage is checked through where the airlines allow it.
What payment options does Al Bari Travel accept from Gilgit clients?
We accept cash, bank transfer, JazzCash, and Easypaisa from clients in Gilgit. Bookings are confirmed once a deposit is received; the balance is due before the visa submission. Haiwad Ahmad will walk you through the schedule on the first call.
What is included in an Al Bari Travel Umrah package from Gilgit?
A standard Umrah package from Gilgit includes: return international flights, Saudi e-visa, hotel accommodation in Makkah (near Masjid al-Haram) and Madinah (near Masjid an-Nabawi), ground transport between cities, guided Ziyarat tour of historical Islamic sites, and full in-country support. Meals, Zamzam water, and laundry are typically extra unless you select a premium package.
