Ultimate adventure destination

Skardu has everything — mountains, lakes, forts, deserts. I spent 7 days and didn't see half of it. Deosai Plains at sunset with brown bears in the distance is a memory I will never forget.

K2 — the Savage Mountain up close

As a mountaineer's base, Skardu is world-class. The Shangrila Resort on the lake is beautiful. Cold desert is unexpected and unique. Flight from Islamabad on a clear day over Nanga Parbat and K2 is jaw-dropping.

Requires time and patience

Weather can be unpredictable — our Islamabad-Skardu flight was cancelled twice. Plan buffer days. But once you arrive, the beauty is overwhelming. Satpara Lake is incredibly peaceful.
