About GTS
Our Story
Why GTS Exists
GTS – Green Tourist Squad was founded on a simple frustration: Pakistan has some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth, but too much of its tourism growth has come at the cost of the very places and people that make it special. We started GTS to prove there's a better way: guided travel that's just as thrilling, but leaves destinations better than we found them.
Our Mission
Leading Pakistan's Shift to Sustainable Travel
To lead Pakistan's shift toward sustainable, community-powered tourism — one responsibly run trip at a time — and to become a model other emerging destinations can follow.
- We cap group sizes in sensitive areas, even when it costs us bookings.
- We hire and train local guides, porters, and hosts as the backbone of every trip.
- We publish where our Community & Conservation Fund money goes.
- We ban single-use plastic on every GTS-led itinerary, no exceptions.
