The best time to visit is during the spring (April to June) when the landscapes are lush and green, or in summer (July to September) when all areas are accessible. Autumn (October and November) is also great for golden foliage and clear skies. However, in winter (December to March), some routes may be blocked due to snow.
You can fly directly to Skardu from Islamabad. There are daily flights available. Alternatively, you can travel by road via the Karakoram Highway (KKH) or the Babusar Pass, which is only open during summer.
Yes, Skardu and the Baltistan region are considered very safe for tourists. The locals are known for their hospitality, and the area is peaceful with very low crime rates.
We use comfortable private transport, including 4x4 jeeps for off-road areas like Basho Valley. For larger groups, we use coasters or hiace vans for easier travel on regular roads.
The meals offered are a combination of local Balti cuisine (such as Mamtu, Chapshuro, and Balay), Pakistani dishes like Karahi and BBQ, and some continental options like pizza, pasta, and burgers.
Yes, Basho Valley is one of the best spots for camping in the region, with its lush pine forests and serene riverside locations, making it perfect for an unforgettable camping experience.
There are some short treks involved, but they are easy and beginner-friendly. For example, treks to the Mashkallah Waterfall, Basho Valley, and Hanjor Waterfall are all accessible for most people.
