05 Days Tour to Skardu – Ridakh Adventures

About the Tour

Discover the Heart of Gilgit-Baltistan

Skardu valley is located in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. The valley is about 10 km wide and 40 km long, sitting at the confluence of the Shigar River and the mighty Indus River, surrounded by the towering Karakoram Range.

Skardu is the largest district of the Northern Areas and home to some of the highest peaks in the world — including K2, Gasherbrum, Masherbrum and Broad Peak. It’s equally famous for its stunning lakes: Shangrila Lake, Upper Kachura Lake, Sadpara Lake, Blind Lake and Sheosar Lake. This 5-day fly-in tour is the perfect introduction to the valley’s natural beauty without the long road journey.
