Overview

Skardu is a world of contrasts: sand dunes beside a glacial river, turquoise lakes ringed by 7,000 m peaks, and the vast, flower-filled Deosai Plains at 4,000 m.

We base ourselves in comfortable Skardu hotels and explore by jeep — Shangrila and Upper Kachura lakes, the cold desert, Shigar Fort, and a full day crossing Deosai with its marmots and big skies.
