Discover Skardu

The heart of Baltistan, where the Shigar River meets the Indus — surrounded by alpine lakes, the Sarfaranga Cold Desert and the mighty Karakoram.

Discover Skardu, the gateway to the world’s highest mountains. Explore Upper Kachura Lake and Shangrila Resort, walk the dunes of the Sarfaranga Cold Desert and visit Kharpocho Fort, built in the sixteenth century high above the Indus. Satpara Lake lies on the scenic road to Deosai, and every expedition to K2, Broad Peak and the Gasherbrums begins here. Beautiful in every season, and golden in autumn.

  • Upper Kachura Lake and Shangrila Resort

Good to Know

The flight takes about an hour and follows the Indus gorge, one of the most scenic flights in the world. Flights are subject to weather, so every tour by air is planned with a road option.

Around eighteen to twenty-two hours via the Karakoram Highway and the Skardu road, with an overnight stop on the way.
