Planning a trip to Skardu

Skardu is one of Pakistan's most requested domestic trips — Upper Kachura Lake and Shangrila, Satpara Lake, Shigar Valley and Fort, the Katpana Cold Desert, and Deosai when it's accessible. We run three ground package tiers (5 days / 4 nights, hotel, transport, guide and sightseeing included), and book flights or arrange the road route from Islamabad separately based on your dates.

No visa is required for domestic travel within Pakistan — the main planning considerations are flight and road conditions, and any seasonal access restrictions, especially into Deosai.
