Nangma Valley and Skardu Tour

Your exploration begins upon arrival in Islamabad. Our team will meet you at the airport and transfer you to the hotel. The rest of the day is free to explore tourist attractions in Islamabad, Texila, and surrounding areas.

Take the scenic flight to Skardu Valley and set off for the Kachura Valley discovery. You will visit the famous Shangrila Hotel, a beautiful resort adjacent to the Lower Kachura Lake. Explore the enchanting Upper Kachura Lake, a 10-minute drive from Shangrila Resort. Following the Shigarthang Lungma River, you will reach Soq Valley. The rest of the day will be spent in the tranquil serenity of the valley before retiring for the day.

The journey on day three and four will take you to the culturally famed village of Skardu, the Shigar Valley. You will explore the 400-year-old 17th-century heritage site of Skardu. This fort was built by the Raja of the Amacha Dynasty. The construction of this fort is done above a huge boulderstone, giving it the name Fong Kar, or the Palace on the Rock.

You will drive to Sarfaranga Cold Desert, which is a high-altitude desert famed for its picturesque surroundings. In the desert, experience horse riding, jeep safaris, and paragliding.

The following day, you will traverse the gravel road to Deosai National Park. On this day, you may get lucky enough to spot the endangered Himalayan brown bears in the pasture. These animals were near extinction in Deosai, but the local conservation efforts made it possible to revive their natural habitat. Sheosar Lake will be another attraction, which is located at an altitude of 4,142 meters above sea level. As the evening approaches, travel back to Skardu for the night's stay.

The following day, begin your Nangma Valley trek. The adventure begins with a drive from Skardu Valley to Hushe and Kanday. The valley is famed for its jagged pinnacles that resemble Yosemite National Park. Due to its similarities, this valley is also called the Yosemite of Pakistan. You will begin your journey from the outskirts of Kanday Valley. After continuous trekking for 3 hours following the glaciated streams coming down the canyon, the journey will end at Mingulu Broq, the first campsite.

The adventure will resume the following day. Traverse the alpine meadows and towering mountains before you get the first glimpse of the Nangma Valley pinnacles. The remainder of the day will be spent discovering the natural treasures and uncommon beauty of the area.
