From Gahkuch to Coyote Den Hostel Ishkoman
Gahkuch is the closest town to our hostel and the entrance to Ishkoman Valley. From there, it’s only 25 kilometers to us! Bikes and cars can reach Chatorkhand in around 30-45 minutes.
Plenty of taxis and Hiaces travel from the Gahkuch bus station (“adda”) to Chatorkhand. A seat in a shared taxi is less than 500 PKR, while reserving a whole car should be around 1500. Hiaces are even cheaper and go more regularly, but they’re more cramped.
When going, tell the driver you want to go to the big hotel in Chatorkhand; many of the drivers know of the hostel, but don’t know the name. If coming in a Hiace, the driver can usually drop you off right at our gate for an extra 100 PKR.
