8 Days Hunza & Skardu Tour

A Hunza & Skardu trip is one of Pakistan’s classic northern itineraries, usually lasting 7–12 days.

Hunza Valley (around 2,400 m) charms visitors with its fertile terraces, crystal-clear Attabad Lake, the historic Baltit and Altit forts, and the dramatic Karakoram Highway. Spring and autumn bring blooming apricot blossoms and golden foliage, while the surrounding peaks—including Rakaposhi and Ultar—create a constant dramatic backdrop.

Skardu (around 2,500 m) is the gateway to the greater Karakoram. From here you can explore Shangrila Resort and its heart-shaped lake, the vast alpine plains of Deosai National Park, the serene Upper and Lower Kachura Lakes, and the stark beauty of the Indus and Shigar valleys. It is also the starting point for treks toward K2 Base Camp and other high peaks.

Together the two destinations offer a perfect mix of accessible scenic drives, gentle walks, cultural encounters with the local Burusho and Balti people, and world-class mountain views—ideal for both first-time visitors to the region and experienced mountain travellers.
