Destination

Skardu

Wide river country, and the way into the high Baltoro.

Overview

Skardu opens into wider river country and the approaches toward the high Baltoro. It is a place of lakes, rock, and long horizons — a natural counterpart to the tighter walls of Hunza.

Along the way

  • Wide Indus river landscape
  • Lakes and valley approaches
  • Gateway toward the Baltoro region
