The colourful array of mountain flowers in these valleys provides a scenic backdrop on this alternate route to Chilas.

Chilas appear to be an ‘oasis in a desert’ with a unique charm. Here you will have a magnificent view of the three world’s highest mountain ranges:  the Karakoram  in the north, the Himalayas in the east and the Hindu Kush in the west. From Chilas, you will rejoin Karakoram  Highway  with the view of  Nanga Parbat in the background. Just before Gilgit, you will turn right to follow Skardu Road along the Indus River to reach  Skardu . Skardu is the capital of Baltistan Valley and a getaway from many famous Peaks such as K2 .

After spending two nights in  Skardu , you will continue your  Skardu Tour towards Khapulu by following the Indus and then the Shyok River to Khaplu Valley. Khaplu is one of the largest and most beautiful towns in Baltistan. You will stay at the Khaplu Fort (now Serena Hotel) in Khpulu. It’s the former residence of the royal family of Khaplu. You will spend two days in Khaplu, exploring the local Bazar, historical Chaqchan mosque and neighbouring villages.

Night stay in Astore and next morning drive along Astore river to the junction of Indus River and join Karakoram Highway . Stay on The Karakoram Highway for a short period and turn left to join Naran Road to reach Naran Town.

Skardu  is a weather-dependent airport surrounded by high mountains. Planes only land here in good visibility, and flights to and from  Skardu  are cancelled occasionally. Skardu has daily 3-4 flights from Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. The planes fly more often than not, but cancellations can and do occur, and in these circumstances, we will travel by road.

HEALTH & VACCINATION

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you need any specific vaccination or other preventive measures. You must be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella), along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis is discretionary for this trip. Malaria exists in the areas near Islamabad. However, incidences of urban transmission of malaria are extremely low. In  Skardu  and the mountains, there is no malaria risk. In more remote areas, you should also have a dentist check-up. Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime-biting mosquitoes. Currently, no vaccine or prophylaxis is available, so the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you  take precautions to avoid mosquito bites

We highly recommend that you have adequate travel insurance for your  Skardu Tour  trip with Trango Adventure. We understand the complexity and variety of choices in the insurance market, and many of you either have your preferred insurer or already have an annual multi-trip cover. If this is the case, please ensure that your insurer is aware of your Trango Adventure itinerary and can agree to cover the activities.

Trango Adventure  does not provide any advice on travel insurance. However, we recommend that you have travel insurance which covers the activities you are taking during Skardu.

We advise having suitable cancellation insurance purchased at the time of booking, as some airline tickets are non-refundable.

Meine Schwester und ich sind mit Trango Adventures in die pakistanische Baltistan Region gereist. Die Reise von Islamabad nach Skardu und weiter nach Hunza war eine der wohl schönsten und eindruckvollsten Reisen meines Lebens. Die Erfahrung und lokale Verankerung von Trango Adventures erhoben die Reiseorganisation zu einer unendlich wertvollen und sicheren Begleitung unseres Abenteuers in den Bergen Baltistans. Während der gesamten Reise wussten die Begleiter uns immer wieder mit lokalen Spezialitäten zu verwöhnen. Sei dies eine Begegnung mit der Bevölkerung in einem Wohnzimmer, oder die wahnsinnig schönen Hänge übersäht mit Aprikosenbäumen. Zusammenfassend kann ich Trango Adventures jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der dieses Bijou im Herzen des Karakorum Hochgebirges besuchen wil.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für Trango Adventure entschieden haben, um Ihre Reise nach Gilgit Baltisan, Paistan, zu organisieren. Alle unsere Mitarbeiter und Reiseleiter sind vor Ort, sodass sie jeden Winkel des Landes kennen.

A Complete Travel Guide To Skardu, Pakistan

If you’ve been planning to travel to the northern areas of Pakistan, you’ve likely stumbled across the name Skardu. This important city in Gilgit-Baltistan may be slightly less popular than the Hunza Valley to the north or Fairy Meadows to the west but is nonetheless one of Pakistan’s biggest tourist destinations thanks to the unique natural sites in its vicinity. If you’ve been dreaming of visiting a cold desert or an alpine plateau, Skardu is the perfect destination in Pakistan. And if you’re dying to sample some delicious Balti cuisine as well, it’s certainly time to pack your bags and plan a getaway to Skardu.

Here’s everything you need to know before traveling to Skardu.

Where Is Skardu?

In the east of Pakistan’s northern Gilgit-Baltistan region at around 2,230 meters altitude lies Skardu, one of the region’s most important cities, It’s situated right along the Shigar River and the Indus River, which separates the Karakoram Range from the Himalaya Mountain Range, This location blesses the region with a unique landscape and ecosystem, which can be found in few other places in the world.

Weather In Skardu

Skardu’s climate is relatively mild compared to other places in northern Pakistan. The warmest months are June to September, when temperatures can get as high as 30°C, and the coldest months are December to February, when temperatures frequently drop in the minus degrees. Expect temperatures around 10°C during the months in between. Rainfall is highest from December through May.

Best Time To Visit Skardu

The best time to visit Skardu is summer from June to September. It’s the optimal time to enjoy lush green landscapes at comfortable temperatures without much rainfall and escape from the suffocating heat in other parts of Pakistan. October is another great time to visit Skardu in order to experience the region in golden autumn colors. Winter turns the region around Skardu into a beautiful white wonderland but it will be more difficult to access the city during this season.

How To Get To Skardu

Getting to Skardu is both a blessing and a curse. Luckily, you have more options than with most other places in northern Pakistan since Skardu actually has its own airport.

Here’s how to get to Skardu:

There are daily direct flights from Islamabad and Karachi to Skardu airport. The flights are operated by national airline PIA with small aircrafts. Despite their relatively short durations, flights to Skardu tend to be quite expensive, ranging around $80 – $200 per one-way flight. The (very scenic) approach to the mountainous region is extremely difficult for pilots but flying into Skardu is still significantly safer than reaching the city by road.

Getting to Skardu by road is a lot cheaper than flying but good luck ! I thought I traveled on the world’s most dangerous road near Naran but that was before I experienced the scariest drive of my life from Gilgit to Skardu. The road that connects Skardu with Gilgit (a.k.a the rest of the world) is in such abysmal condition that near-death experiences are almost guaranteed on the way. I’m sparing you from some horrendous details here but it’s no wonder that terrible accidents do happen . In addition, frequent landslides will almost certainly delay your journey by a couple of hours. Our bus got stuck in a small village for over five hours because of this and our six-hour journey turned into a 16-hour journey.

That being said, if you’re broke like me and still decide to visit Skardu by road, there are a couple of options. You can take a public bus from other cities in Pakistan, join a group tour, or hire an experienced private driver. Please don’t attempt to drive on these roads yourself.

Hotels In Skardu

There are many hotels in and around Skardu. If you’re looking for a high-end experience, you might want to consider staying at one of the famous hotels near Skardu. This includes the Serena Shigar Hotel inside Shigar Fort and the Shangrila Resort around the Lower Kachura Lake.

If you’re looking for something on the lower end and still desire a central location, I suggest staying near the actual city. I had a great experience staying at Graceland Resort near Skardu city.

How To Get Around Skardu

The best way to get around Skardu is with a private driver or a tour guide. I personally had a wonderful experience with Kamil Tours . You can also ask your hotel for help.

Best Places To Visit Near Skardu

The region around Skardu is full of amazing tourist destinations.

Here are some suggestions of places to visit near Skardu, arranged in an optimal order:

Skardu City

Starting off with the city itself. Despite its regional importance, Skardu is a relatively small city, meaning it can easily be explored in a couple of hours. Visit Skardu Fort and shop for local crafts and textiles at the city’s souvenir market. Don’t forget to haggle!

Deosai National Park

Ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 meters altitude, the Deosai Plains near Skardu are the second-highest alpine plateau in the world. Deosai National Park was first established to protect the Himalayan Brown Bear and other endangered species and is currently on UNESCO’s tentative World Heritage list. Visit Deosai National Park to enjoy incredible wide and empty landscapes as well as the waters of Kalapani , Barapani , and Sheosar Lake , The drive south from Skardu to Deosai National Park takes one to two hours up a mountain pass.

Manthoka Waterfall

Manthoka Waterfall is a beautiful waterfall about an hour southeast of Skardu. Surrounded by a serene green valley, Manthoka Waterfall emerges from the mountains so tall and majestically that it’s hard to believe the waterfall is actually manmade! Shower yourself in the waterfall’s pristine water, take photos of silky streams and rainbows, and enjoy a relaxing picnic in one of the most beautiful places near Skardu.

Shigar Valley

About one hour northeast of Skardu along the Shigar River lies the beautiful Shigar Valley. Follow the scenic road down to the beautiful village of Shigar, where you can not only witness local architectural gems like Shigar Fort or the ancient wooden Khilangrong Mosque but also traditional Balti village life.

Sarfarangah Desert

Sarfarangah Desert is one of the two famous cold deserts around Skardu. It’s located in the Shigar Valley along the Shigar River is therefore the perfect conclusion for a visit to Shigar. Leave behind your shoes to enjoy the smooth sand and enjoy jumping into the tall dunes with a bunch of friends. But beware, there might be thorns hidden under the sand in some parts!

Katpana Desert

Significantly closer to the city lies the Katpana Desert, Skardu’s other cold desert. Surrounded by tall mountains and with a beautiful lake in the center, the Katpana Desert is especially stunning in winter when its sand is overed by a smooth blanket of snow. In addition, its proximity to Skardu Airport makes the Katpana Desert easily accessible in all seasons.

Upper Kachura Lake

Kachura is a settlement about one hour northwest of Skardu and famous for its two lakes: the Upper Kachura Lake and the Lower Kachura Lake. The former one is accessible through a 15-minute trek through a small forest. Popular activities at the Lower Kachura Lake include swimming , fishing , and motorboating .

(NOTE: Swimming is not recommended for ladies, unless you have a modest swimsuit with you)

Shangri-La Resort

The Lower Kachura Lake is located within the majestic Shangrila Resort, which is hands-down one of the most beautiful places in Pakistan, if not the world. Spend a relaxing afternoon surrounded by the greenest garden in this literal Heaven on earth and make sure to enjoy some organic apple juice in front of the heart-shaped lake. And if you feel extra fancy, consider staying a night at the resort .

Bonus: Manthal Buddha Rock

Just a short drive south of Skardu lies Manthal, home to an ancient Buddhist monument known as the Manthal Buddha Rock. The rock is believed to be around 1200 years old and contains depictions of Buddha. Although I didn’t have the chance to visit Manthal myself, it’s a great addition to your Skardu itinerary if you have some time on your hands.

Food In Skardu

Balti cuisine is perhaps the most under-appreciated cuisine in all of Pakistan. Balti flavors and seasonings are very different from what you might be used to from other parts of Pakistan, featuring a lot more carby comfort foods than spices. Because it’s so hard to find Balti food in other parts of Pakistan, you should try to eat as much as possible when you’re in Skardu.

Some popular Balti dishes include:

• Papu: flat buckwheat pasta resembling Korean tteok in a creamy pesto-like sauce
• Mamtu: steamed wheat dumplings filled with beef, mutton, or yak meat
• Balti lentil soup: a thick and mild lentil and vegetable stew that closely resembles German lentil soup
• Namkeen chai: spiced milk tea with a small dash of salt creating a mindblowing taste

Safety In Skardu

Generally speaking, Skardu is a very safe travel destination. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth trip.

Road Safety

As mentioned earlier, the road connecting Skardu with Gilgit is THE WORST. If you decide to travel by land, make sure to:

• Hire a very experienced driver
• Only use vehicles that are in good condition and avoid big buses
• Avoid traveling in the dark and during landslide season
• Budget A LOT of time for this drive

Usually, this is not too much of a concern in the city but avoid getting too far from your vehicle when you’re out in Deosai National Park in the unlikely event that you run into a Himalayan Brown Bear.

Health Concerns

As everywhere in Pakistan, food safety is your biggest health concern, which is why you should avoid tap water and sketchy food.

In addition, it’s a good idea to carry some altitude sickness drops with you in case the height is getting to you.

Female Safety

Female safety is a major concern in all parts of Pakistan. To stay safe as a woman in Skardu, it’s advised to not travel alone, avoid dark areas, keep a distance from strangers, and only go with trusted guides. Unfortunately in places like Skardu, every other man calls himself a ‘tourist guide’ but not all of them have certifications and reviews. And if you happen to watch a traditional dance performance, ALWAYS decline if a performer is asking you to join their dance. (This only applies to women. For men, it’s usually no problem.)

Where To Go Next

Enjoyed your trip to Skardu? Here’s some suggestions of places to visit next:

• K2: Skardu is the gateway to the mighty K2 peak, the second-tallest mountain in the world, and other eight-thousanders. While the summit is reserved for the world’s top mountaineers, you can do the K2 base camp trek individually or with a tour.
• Fairy Meadows: Fairy Meadows is the beautiful mountain paradise surrounding the Nanga Parbat peak. The trek to this remote piece of heaven begins near Chilas, meaning you’ll pass the region when exiting Gilgit-Baltistan by road.
• Hunza Valley: Hunza Valley, Pakistan’s most iconic tourist destination , is a place you mustn’t miss when traveling through Pakistan. The beautiful mountain valley is located north of Skardu on the Karakoram Highway.
• Islamabad : If you travel to Skardu by plane, this will likely be the beginning and ending point of your journey, so it definitely wouldn’t harm to spend a day or two exploring Pakistan’s capital city .

• Makran Coast

Skardu is one of the best places to visit in Pakistan thanks to its unique landscape and beautiful Balti culture. The city has its own airport, making the region significantly more accessible than other places in northern Pakistan. Spend a couple of days exploring all of Skardu’s natural and cultural sites and don’t forget to try all the delicious Balti food that you can find.

 DAYS ITINERARY

Skardu tour packages itinerary, day 1 islamabad to chilas.

On the first day of the Skardu tour, we begin our journey by road from Islamabad. The entire journey is 9 hours long via the Hazara Motorway and the total distance between the two cities is around 212 km, but we’ll have to cover around 367.5 km to reach there. Along the way, if we go over the Babusar top, then we can stop there and enjoy the scenic views. However, passing over the Babusar Top is highly dependent on the weather, as it is covered in snow during winters and the roads are closed off. In case this road is closed, we’ll have to go through Behsam which is a longer route but gets us to where we want to go.

Day 2 Chilas to Skardu

The distance between Chilas and Skardu is 256.9 km and we will take the Karakoram Highway from Chilas. It will take approximately 6 hours and 18 minutes and that may vary depending on the weather and other such factors. However, if you plan to stay a night in Chilas then that, too, is possible but keep in mind that there isn’t much to do in Chilas other than the Indus River that flows through the city. For the most part, Chilas is a dry, rocky, mountainous, and rigid area with not a lot of sights. However, it does make for a wonderful one-night stay under the stars.

Day 3 Skardu Valley

Kharpocho fort, organic village.

A unique little village in Baltistan, known as Organic Village Skardu, north of Skardu City, which is also known as Nangsoq. It is located only 3 km away from Skardu town. This beautiful little village is renowned for its pure flora and climate. Because of its purity, the organic village has a unique identity throughout Baltistan. The lifestyle and agriculture here are still old-fashioned. Here, the watermill is still in use

Shangrila Lake and Upper Kachura Lake

The twin lakes are one of the best places to visit during the Skardu tour. Shangri la also known as Lower Kachura Lake, the lake is renowned for its majestic views and supply of fishes. In addition to this, on the banks of the river, Shangrila Resort is located which was built back in 1983 on the sight of a plane crash. The hotel was named after the book titled Lost Horizon by James Hilton. While Upper Kacura late is 3km ahead of Shangri la lake.

Day 4 Kharmang valley

The beautiful valley is located along the river of Indus river. Famous places are Manthoka waterfall and Khamosh waterfall and the Indus river.

Day 5 Khaplu Valley

On this day of the Skardu tour, we will drive to khaplu valley. Khaplu, which is a beautiful landscape with high peaks, flowing blue waters, and waterfalls, is the central location in the district. The people of this tiny settlement on the bank of the Shyok River are warm and loving, as they were centuries before, when travelers first arrived here, wandering through Yarkand and Saltoro. A narrow, paved road with poplar trees lined up on both sides provides the travelers with a soothing shade as they make their way through tiny specks of sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting shadows on the darkened road, leaving an aesthete spellbound as soon as one leaves Skardu.

Day 6 Shigar Valley

Watered by the Shigar River and located in the middle of Shigar town, the valley extends from Skardu to Askole and is approximately 170 km. Despite being isolated and remote, the valley houses multiple villages. On the far edge of the valley, is Askole, which is located significantly away from the mountains. In addition to this, the valley is a stream from the Indus River, which is located in close proximity to the town. The valley is famous among adventure seekers who come here for trekking, hiking, and mountaineering, despite the fact that the conditions are quite tough. Lastly, the valley is a pathway to the Karakoram mountains, which house the highest peak in the world which is K2. Places to visit while shigar tour is Shigar Fort, Shigar Polo Ground, Hashopi Garden, and the famous Cold Desert.

Day 7 Deosai

This is the ideal destination for adventure and nature lovers during the Skardu tour. The combination of the two words 'Deo' (giant) and 'Sai' is Deosai (shadow). It is thought that this place has been haunted by giants for centuries, so the name 'The Land of the Giants' came into being. The weather here is quite unpredictable, and sometimes it begins to snow in the summer. There seems to be sunlight and clouds playing hide and seek, with the sun shining for a minute, and overcast for the next. Due to the abundance of varied wildlife here, this area remained uncrossable for ages. Icy winds, thunderstorms, and the presence of wildlife make it impossible, even at this age, to dwell here, which is why Deosai is mostly uninhabited. For centuries, nomads from Kashmir have been passing through the Deosai plains with their herds, their path of choice.Deosai has a deafening silence, a silence that spans hundreds of years. The silence is so deep that, unless a marmot's whistle fills the valley, one can hear his own heartbeat. Deosai is situated on the border between the Karakoram and the western Himalayas, and it is not less than 4000 meters above sea level at any point. For 8 months, it will be covered with snow. It hosts a variety of beautiful flowers of all shades and colors for the rest of the year, but not a single tree is found on this plateau spread over 3000 sq. Deosai is included only during the summer season. Skardu tours excluding summer season, Deosai day is excluded. It is important to note that winter, autumn, or spring tour to Skardu does not include Deosai. Because as mentioned earlier it is covered with snow during most of the year except summer season.

Day 8 Basho Valley

Basho Valley Skardu is located in Gilgit Baltistan, Roundu Divison of Skardu District. One of the favorite places to visit during the Skardu tour, Basho Valley with its extreme beauty, majestic snow-capped mountains, and primitive charm.

In addition to this, there are many things to do here such as fishing and the wide variety of fruits that grow here such as apricot, grapes, apples, to name a few

Day 9 Back to Chilas

Today we will conclude our Skardu tour and set out towards Chilas and get on our way back to Islamabad. We’ll most likely go through the same route that we took to get to Skardu, obviously, it all depends on the weather conditions. We’ll take the Karakoram Highway to get to Chilas. And from Chilas we go over the Babusar Top and come across Lulusar Lake, which is another lake that is known for its glimmering waters, which is surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Day 10 Back to Islamabad

On the last day of the Skardu tour we leave for Islamabad from Chilas, we’ll take Karakoram highway or Naran Kaghan road to Mansehra and continue the journey on Hazara Motorway and Peshawar motorway and we’ll be back in Islamabad in approximately 8 hours.

Skardu Tour Packages Itinerary

Day 1: Islamabad to Chilas

The journey from Islamabad to Skardu kicks off with a roughly 9-hour drive covering a distance of around 367.5 kilometers. The preferred route typically involves taking the Hazara Motorway, which offers a smooth and relatively efficient passage through picturesque landscapes. This highway journey passes through various terrains, presenting travelers with a diverse range of sceneries, from lush greenery to mountainous vistas.

One of the anticipated stops along this route is Babusar Top, renowned for its breathtaking scenic views. Weather permitting, this stop offers travelers a chance to take in the panoramic beauty of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and meadows.

The picturesque landscape with its snow-capped peaks and vibrant natural beauty is a highlight for many travelers, providing an opportunity for rest, photography, and experiencing the raw beauty of northern Pakistan.

However, if Babusar Top is inaccessible due to heavy snowfall or weather conditions, an alternate route through Behsam comes into play. Although longer, this route offers its own unique charm and scenic vistas. Travelers might traverse through valleys and winding roads, passing by local villages, terraced fields, and small towns, which present an authentic glimpse into the lifestyle and culture of the region. Despite being a longer route, it still promises captivating views and an enriching journey before arriving at the stunning destination of Skardu.

Day 2: Chilas to Skardu

The journey from Chilas City to Skardu City spans approximately 256.9 kilometers, usually taking around 6 hours and 18 minutes by road along the famous Karakoram Highway. However, travel times can be subject to variations due to weather conditions and the terrain, which can impact the overall travel experience. This route treats travelers to mesmerizing views as it winds its way through the rugged and awe-inspiring landscapes of northern Pakistan.

Chilas city, often utilized as an overnight stop on the way to Skardu, is nestled along the banks of the mighty Indus River. While the town itself might not offer a multitude of tourist attractions, its striking scenery and proximity to the Indus River provide a serene ambiance. The area's rugged terrain, marked by barren hills and cliffs, creates a unique and raw atmosphere that might captivate travelers, especially when spending a night under the vast, starry skies. Despite its limited tourist amenities, Chilas offers an opportunity for a peaceful evening, allowing visitors to unwind and appreciate the simple yet stark beauty of the surroundings, with the Indus River flowing by, setting the backdrop for a tranquil overnight stay.

Day 3: Skardu Valley

Upon arriving in Skardu , the first day of your tour promises a myriad of captivating activities to explore. One of the top choices is Organic Valley, a scenic paradise nestled amidst lush greenery and pristine landscapes. This serene valley offers a chance to witness organic farming practices, experience the local rural lifestyle, and savor the fresh produce straight from the farms. Visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature, taking leisurely strolls or simply relaxing amidst the picturesque surroundings.

Another compelling option for exploration is the historic Kharpocho Fort . This ancient fort, perched high above Skardu, boasts panoramic views of the valley and the Indus River. A visit here offers a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage, allowing travelers to delve into the past while marveling at the breathtaking vistas stretching far and wide.

For a serene encounter with nature's beauty, Shangrila Lake and Upper Kachora Lake stand as idyllic destinations. Shangrila Lake, often referred to as "Heaven on Earth," captivates with its crystal-clear waters set against the backdrop of towering mountains. Meanwhile, Upper Kachora Lake enchants visitors with its tranquil ambiance, surrounded by alpine forests and offering opportunities for boating or simply soaking in the tranquility.

Sadpara Lake is yet another gem in Skardu's crown. Encircled by majestic peaks, this beautiful lake reflects the beauty of its surroundings, inviting travelers to bask in its serenity and indulge in activities like boating or simply admiring the stunning views.

Manthal Village, renowned for its terraced fields and scenic landscapes, presents an authentic rural experience. Here, visitors can witness local life, observe traditional farming practices, and engage with the warm and welcoming locals, offering an immersive cultural encounter amidst the beauty of Skardu's natural terrain. These attractions collectively offer a diverse range of experiences, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and tranquil beauty of Skardu.

Day 4: Kharmang valley

Kharmang Valley, settled within the attractive Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan, is a mesmerizing destination renowned for its captivating landscapes and cultural heritage. This hidden gem boasts lush orchards, meandering rivers , and the stunning Manthokha Waterfall , adding to its allure. The valley's panoramic vistas, framed by towering mountains, offer a serene backdrop to the cascading waters of Manthokha, creating a breathtaking sight. Beyond its natural splendor, the valley is steeped in cultural richness, inviting travelers to explore the heritage of the Balti people, discover ancient relics, and embark on thrilling treks. Kharmang Valley, with its blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, stands as a captivating retreat, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its tranquility and create unforgettable memories amidst its enchanting landscapes.

Day 5: Khaplu Valley

On this day of the Skardu tour, we'll journey to Khaplu Valley, a stunning landscape featuring towering peaks, crystal-clear waters, and cascading waterfalls. Khaplu serves as the focal point of the district, and its hospitable inhabitants have welcomed travelers for centuries. A narrow paved road, shaded by rows of poplar trees, creates a serene passage as sunlight filters through the leaves, casting captivating shadows on the road, leaving travelers spellbound from the moment they depart Skardu.

Day 6: Shigar Valley

Nestled in the heart of Shigar town and watered by the Shigar River, this valley stretches approximately 170 km from Skardu to Askole. Despite its remote and isolated nature, the valley is dotted with multiple villages. On its far edge lies Askole, a settlement set apart from the mountains.

Moreover, the valley is fed by a stream originating from the nearby Indus River. Renowned among adventure enthusiasts, it attracts trekkers, hikers, and mountaineers, despite the challenging conditions. Finally, the valley serves as a gateway to the Karakoram mountains, home to the world's highest peak, K2. Notable attractions during a Shigar tour include Shigar Fort, Shigar Polo Ground, Hashopi Garden, and the renowned Cold Desert.

Day 7: Deosai

Deosai, a dreamland for adventure and nature enthusiasts on the Skardu tour, is a place of mystique and natural wonder. Its name, "Deosai," meaning "The Land of the Giants," is rooted in ancient tales of giants haunting this vast expanse.

The weather in Deosai is capricious, with sudden summer snowfalls, as sunlight and clouds engage in a playful dance. Abundant wildlife once made it an impassable realm, untouched by human habitation. Even today, icy winds, thunderstorms, and wildlife presence deter permanent settlement, leaving Deosai mostly uninhabited.

For centuries, nomads from Kashmir have traversed the Deosai plains with their herds, embracing this timeless path. The silence here is profound, spanning centuries, so profound that one can hear their own heartbeat unless interrupted by a marmot's cheerful whistle.

Situated on the border between the Karakoram and the western Himalayas, Deosai consistently rests at over 4,000 meters above sea level. Snow blankets it for eight months, while the rest of the year, this 3,000-square-kilometer plateau blossoms with a myriad of vibrant flowers, yet not a single tree graces its landscape. Deosai is a summer wonder, a highlight of Skardu tours during this season. Keep in mind that winter, autumn, or spring visits to Skardu exclude Deosai, as it remains snow-covered, revealing its true splendor only in the summertime.

Day 8: Basho Valley

Basho Valley in Skardu, located within the Gilgit Baltistan region and Roundu Division of Skardu District, is a cherished destination for tourists exploring Skardu. This picturesque valley is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, awe-inspiring snow-capped mountains, and its unspoiled, rustic charm. Basho Meadow stands out as a remarkable spot for both visiting and camping, offering visitors a truly splendid experience.

What makes Basho Valley truly unique is its exceptional vantage point, allowing you to witness two of the world's most prominent mountain ranges. Moreover, the valley offers an array of activities for visitors, including fishing and the opportunity to savor a diverse range of fruits such as apricots, grapes, and apples, among others.
