The Ultimate Karakoram Experience

Skardu valley is located in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The valley is about 10 km wide and 40 km long, situated at the confluence of the Shigar River and Indus River, surrounded by the majestic Karakoram Range. With nearby lakes and mountains, it is one of the most important tourist destinations in Pakistan.

This 12-day grand tour combines the breathtaking landscapes of Skardu — with its cold deserts, ancient forts, turquoise lakes, and dramatic rock formations — with the legendary beauty of Hunza Valley, home to Rakaposhi views, ancient forts, glaciers, and the famous Attabad Lake. Two iconic destinations, one unforgettable journey.
