A few reasons
to stay a little longer.
A lake, a desert stop and a mountain excursion do not all need to fit into one day. We use the sample route as a starting point for choosing your pace.
Shigar Valley
Combine valley scenery with a visit to Shigar’s heritage sites. Fort admission and guided visits should be itemised in your quotation.
Skardu town
Leave time for the bazaar and a relaxed introduction to the area, instead of starting with a full sightseeing day after arrival.
A day shaped around you
Choose an extra lake day or a longer excursion after reviewing conditions and driving time. Deosai is an optional seasonal extension, not a guaranteed stop.
WHEN TO GO
Choose your season.
The warmer months open up more route choices. High-altitude excursions, including Deosai, require a separate access and weather check.
GETTING THERE
Leave time for the road.
This sample begins and ends in Skardu. Flights and road transfers into the region are separate planning decisions; allow flexibility around your onward connections.
